N64 Vertical Cover Thread

[shenske]

It doesn't seem to have taken off quite as well with cover artists as the vertical SNES covers did.

Maybe the N64 just isn't a popular console here.

I wouldnt say that its not a popular console. My vertical cover for Super Mario 64 has over 150 downloads so the interest is there. It just takes a while for a new style to catch on especially when i haven't really been keeping the ball rolling with new covers lately.  I am planning on picking up on more of these covers in a few months (maybe earlier) when i can find some free time. Creating covers for other systems has caught my eye a lot more lately too. The style will catch on just give it time

I plan on doing some vertical N64 covers eventually, but I'm trying to work through chronologically, and I've got a lot of NES, SNES, SMS and SMD games to get through first.

I've also found that, for the most part, usable scans of N64 games are harder to come by. Maybe it's just that the N64 games I have are more obscure than the other systems' games I have?

Ummm... what do you mean? We have next to all (maybe need 1 or two) scans of the boxes on the site converted to UGC. All of that art is 300dpi and excellent quality

I have no photoshop skills whatsoever otherwise I'd make them myself, but I'll second the idea that I'd love to see Ocarina of Time and Majora's mask be given the Vertical Cover treatment.

Your template is awesome, and I wish this would take off a bit more than it has, as I love the uniformity of my cases looking similar, and vastly prefer a vertical cover over a horizontal one.

Well I've got two games that I thought we didn't have on the site. G.A.S.P., which we do only have the cart label for, and Kobe Bryant in NBA Courtside, although I've just seen that's there under 'NBA Courtside'.

I hadn't looked for my other new N64 games before that comment, but you're right, they are all on here in one form or another.

I didn't realize that SSB has different cover art for the PAL version so i'm going to replace the one i made thats already on the site with this one.

looks good. I only have about 25 N64 games, but I'm as eager to see Vertical N64 covers as I am Vertican SNES.

The pal artwork/design is so much cooler than ours!  

Tell me what you think!

I really like the Ocarina of Time Cover.
Will you be making an alternate version of the Majora's Mask cover also?

Of coarse!     I plan on converting as many first party covers as possible.

[Firefly636]

That's good to hear. I'd love to see every N64 game in this style. I actually just scrapped a couple of the covers I just printed to print some of these out. Do you think you'll do an alternate spine on Majoras Mask like you did with OoT?

I need to get off my bum and finish this Jet Force Gemini cover I've been working on.

nice to see some N64 love. I hadn't realized until now that the PAL covers tend to look better than the US ones...
