So, I keep coming up with more and more crazy cover requests, but I've only had one filled so far...  I had another brain-storm last night, so here's a list of all kinds of crazy ideas I've got for covers.

Personally, I'm looking for them to be as "official" as possible.  Original packaging rules. ;)

Here we go:

For Wii:
The only Wii cover that I can think of that'd be nice is a Wii Points cover.  There was one made, and it's neat but it really moves away from "official" looking.  I'm using it for now though, so this one's at the bottom of my list.

For GCN:
Sure, GCN cases have memory card slots in them - but aren't you tired of trying to remember which case has which memory card in it?  I know I am.  I've got Three MC59's (Animal Crossing, one for import saves and my first one) a MC251 and an MC1019.  Since some games won't let you even *move* save files, you end up keeping all of them around.

So who's up for making GCN memory card cases for each of the 3 sizes of the official GCN memory cards?

For DS:
I'd like to see DS covers for the original DS Rumble Pak, the DS Lite Rumble Pak, and the DS Lite GBA slot cover.  Yeah, I'm all kinds of crazy! ;)

For GBA:
In the iTunes contest thread, I detail the requirements for someone winning a $15 iTunes card from me in exchange for making and sending me an e-Reader case/cover in a DS sized case (well, three DS Sized cases...).  No one's managed to do it yet (apparently, I'm the only one who still has the e-Reader package and I'm without a scanner.... ;))  Well, I still want one.

And that completes my list of crazy requests (for now)...

I should be able to bust out the Memory Card 59/251 action, I also have the Case for Gameshark Gamesaves, but I really don't care for that since it's not even a GC disk, just a memory card that doesn't fit into a GC case because there's a port for mini usb.

I have an eReader, but it is so big that I have no idea how you are planning to fit it DS cases. The GameCube memory card cases make sense (would like some standardization on those).

I have the backer for the 1019 card, but no scanner (yet)... I'm working on it though.

As for the e-Reader, I'm thinking something like the Wario Ware Twisted case that's been created for the DS, only it'd take three of them stacked together...

I looked at a DS case, and you'd have to maul the back cover, making it flat, then for case 2, make the back and front nearly nonexistent, and for case 3, keep the front. A daunting task. I can't find my memory Card packaging. :-\

Yeah, it'd be difficult - and I know I couldn't make it look nice. ;)

I don't have a Univeral Media Case, but I just checked with one of the Nintendo 64 DVD-esque cases that I do have and it's not big enough either...

I guess in addition to anything someone can come up with for the e-Reader (has anyone checked one of the Universal Media Cases?) and all the other crazy stuff above, here's two/five more ideas I'd like to see.

I picked up two DS Download Station Cards from eBay.  Everything seems to tell me there is absolutly no official cover for these (nothing like the "Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc" cases for the GCN Demos).  I'd like to see covers for these, if anyone is feeling creative (in particular, volumes 2 and 3, as those are the two I have right now).

Additionally... and this just might be the craziest one of all...

As some of the more fanboyish Nintendo fans may know, "The Wizard" was released on DVD some time ago.  Unfortunatly, the cover is pretty sad, as it has more of a focus on Fred Savage and whoever the other two actors are and absolutly none of the super-cool Nintendo sprites coming at you from the background. (see http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/mania/images/box/vhs_thewizard.gif)

I have the VHS version, but it's a bit faded (although I'm sure someone with enough skill could remedy that)... if only I had a scanner! ;)

Anywhoo, my request would be for someone to take the VHS cover and create a custom DVD cover for The Wizard that has the much cooler Nintendo artwork on it.  Who's *THAT* bored?

I made a DS DL station cover for UncleBob and uploaded it to the site a while ago. (June?) As for the others, they would get anywhere until Mr. I keep everything and don't have a scanner just to piss people off gets a scanner.  ;D
