For PAL Gamecube/Wii cover creators

[Aaagreen]

If you want your case to look authentic, the standard font used for the spines on Gamecube and Wii is called "Tw Cen MT Condensed Extra Bold". I understand that American games have actual game logos on the spine, but this information should be useful for anyone in the UK wanting their custom covers to look better on the shelves.

Example below.



I understand this thread may seem pointless to some but if I knew this when I first printed that cover it'd look much better.

Far from pointless. Finding the exact fonts is quite difficult. Some official nintendo games here in the US do still use that font just not all. Great Find!

Thanks, here's a Wee example.

This font is installed with Microsoft Office [2003 at least], however, if you use Open Office or something else, you should be able to find it online under the file name 'Tcceb.ttf'

I posted a mini-guide on identifying fonts in the guides section...

And Whatthefont never gave me any accurate results.

Really?  I've had pretty good luck with it - but then, I'm no cover artist...
