brilliant!

No box account yet...  :-X is there a reason everyone here uses it over dropbox? I can send download links to my dropbox... just haven't felt like making another account for something yet.

Some problems I noticed with your covers...

-The UPCs are incorrect for all the covers.
-Why are the game title logos repeated twice on the fronts for Battletoads and Battle City?
-The part numbers on the fronts of Battletoads and Battle City are incorrect (it's actually the part number for Super Mario Bros. 2 on the FDS)
-The publisher logos and information aren't on the spine or the back of the cover; for example on Holy Diver, it should be "(C) 1989 Irem", not "(C) 1989 Nintendo"

All great notes.  The short answer is I'm just trying to put some covers together for Japan only games that I'm hunting down and want to box, covers don't exist, and I'm not exactly a pro photoshopper or cover master here.  Just sharing my own personal work for Famicom covers.

Here are some longer answers:
-Not too concerned about UPCs. Nobody will be scanning these and I have no way of knowing what the actual numbers would be... so I just didn't bother, but it looks official so I left it on there.
-Title logos repeated because I was trying to keep to the template as well as the devil world cover posted before.  And since the artwork is pretty small I didn't want to remove the top bar but didn't want it blank either.  The top bar helped cover up the lack of large artwork and blend it into the template, so I wanted something there.
-Didn't quite know what the part number was, but like the UPC, it looked official to me.... If you have a way of knowing the actual part numbers for Battletoads, Battle City, and Holy Diver (or even Devil World), let me know.
-lastly, makes sense, just didn't even give it a thought.  I'll change it!

Part number is usually on the cart label.  Eg - battletoads is  NCS-BT.  But can also be found here
http://famicomworld.com/game-list/?order=release. If your label is not good

UPC is  better removed than left incorrect.  You can sometimes find the UPC from a low res photo from ebay, or google, or somewhere like nintandbox

Thanks all for the feedback.  I have made changes, and however small they may be, I think the covers are greatly improved.   :)

Battle City revised



Battletoads revised



Holy Diver revised
