So, Arseen, it looks like you prefer the vertical format over the retail format.
Yep, it just looked better, and is closer to other game case styles (Jaguar, NES , Mege Drive...).
Since all of the U.S.-released SNES games were released in a horizontal format, wouldn't the vertical format usually need to crop off a lot of the picture?
Not much cropping needed. Usualy you can strech the image bit without noticeable distortion.
Speaking as a newbie here, wouldn't regular horizontal covers 'look nicer'?
Everyone have their own taste, but I like the uniformity between console covers.
I'm just getting started here, and I think that I want horizontal covers for my less-than-30-carts-away-from-a-complete-SNES-cart-only-set.
As I collect Verticals covers I can help finding Vertical versions of covers that are and/or will not make the site more easily.
And those are also more often available, especially for repro or cross region (for example US game cover with PAL or JAP art).
Otherwise no objection to which cover version you end up using
Of course, I would probably prefer to have all of my covers (which I haven't printed even one yet) in the same format.
Naturally all covers must match.
