NeoGeoCD Cover Thread

[shenske]

Lucky for me I have an AES, but the covers for the CD are just too tantalizing    I'm a sucker for a good cover.  Can't tell you how many games I've picked up just to print the covers.  Keep up the awesome work!

i have considered making NeoGeoAES covers.

The only problem is the catridges don't fit in UGC.
(catridges are too big  )

i'm not entirely sure what the differnence is in size (the UGC vs. the catridge).

The AES cart is about 1,5x the size of an UGC

I think someone posted a link to a site that sold cases for MVS carts, not sure if they fit AES (only seen MVS carts from a distance).  And they were pretty specific they were for MVS carts.  Also they were $8.50 a case so you would have to really want it if you had a sizable collection.  If you are interested in AES carts I can upload raws of the covers I do have (3 of them lol), but they will need some photoshopping to make them look really nice.

FYI... there is a dedicated cover site for AES games

http://southtown-homebrew.com/

Course.. they charge $3.00 per cover

i know ... actually i have been at the site for a few hours now  .

just collecting some artwork
(fyi you can save the pdf for free)

Yup that was it.  Wish I knew for sure if the shockbox would fit AES as the cases I do have are kinda cumbly...

i imagine they do.  all of the cover deminsions on the site are for the shockbox cases.

As promised ...

Samurai Shodown




Samurai Showdown II



tell me what you think

[KaiserWAVE]

I always hated the cover for SS1. Such a beautiful background and then the most messed up character art for Haohmaru I can't belive it.
But that's not your fault of course, you know so far I liked nearly all your covers, including these

is this better?


(i was hoping to save this artwork for a later game in the series but if it works better here then...)

NOOOOOOOOO, please, dont forget the haohmaru ss 1 cover, i love it, man, i knew i´d hate to enter your post, EVERYTIME i do it you make me feel bad, cause you dont post it, I NEED YOUR COVERS, GOOD JOB!

[KaiserWAVE]

I think that artwork would be better suited for SS IV. Keep the cover you had, it looks good and stays true to the original. I just remembered that it had this messed up artwork. But that's just my oppinion.

But if you feel like it you could do an alternative cover for SS II featuring Genjuro on the cover if you find proper artwork. He's been introduced in SS II and is Haohmaru's nemesis and one of the best known SS character.

Here's some more info

don't worry i won't even use the alt cover i made (it doesn't fit the appearance order of the games).
even if i did use that cover it wouldn't replace what i already have made.  I really like the haohmaru cover too 

I wouldn't ever want to make you feel bad, sorry man.

i will up them when they are ready.  I don't know much about the NeoGeoCD or hardly any of the game for it. 
The thread is more of a trial and error for covers.
(checking to see which characters and artwork go best with each game)
KaiserWAVE has been very helpful to me when sorting all of this out.

I think the first two samurai shodown covers are almost ready but i would like to make another alternate before i upload them.
(fyi that won't be tonight, i just got off of an 10hr shift and now i have a shit load of homework. i will be lucky to finish my homework by 3 a.m.)

edit: i just got done, 6:30 a.m.  Now i get an hour of sleep

The Shockbox does indeed fit the AES carts,I have a few AES carts that I used the Shockbox with...although they fit just a little loosely in the box..not much.

@Shenske

Nice job with those covers, they're looking great! Will you be doing more of them for the Neo Geo CD?
