Custom Spines - Requests Welcome
TyrannicalFascist:
Okay, so here's my attempt at a Megaman custom spanning spine requested by soundwave925. I honestly have never really played much Megaman over the years, but my quick research into it for this project, plus the way it turned out makes me really want to get these games! ;D
I liked the overlapping "group shot" take Seraph Man did, and while it wouldn't have worked so well on my Sonic spines, here it was not only good, but kind of necessary, otherwise some characters would seem like they had body parts cut off in odd noticeable ways. I also took Arseen's suggestion of adding Wily Castle to the background, which I think really brings it together very nicely. The only logo I had to create was for Megaman: Dr. Wily's Revenge, since I couldn't find it at good enough quality. I know it's different than the real logo, but I tried to make one that matched the others. If I find the real one later on, I'll make an alternate spine. It might seem a little cluttered at first glance, but I think it'll look great once printed.
These are for black US standard width cases. As usual you can download them from by box.net folder:

I also completed the Donkey Kong Country GBA spine set. They are available in my box.net folder in both US and EU spine sizes.
Up next I will attempt to tackle the Castlevania spines. From what I've read, there are 3 GB games, 3 GBA games and 3 DS games. I'll need specific character suggestions for all of them, and I also need to know what order the games go in (or whatever the preferred order is). I also need to know if all of them should have one big spine, or if they should be grouped in some way, like just the GB ones, or just the GBA ones.
As usual I look forward to seeing them printed out while I wait for more cases!
Arseen:
That Mega man set is awesome.
Castlveania games:
DS
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin
GB
Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
Castlevania Legends
Castlevania: The Adventure
GBA
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance
Classic NES Series: Castlevania
I'd say order should be grouped by Console with one image spanning all cases, with option of expanding the image as new games get released.

WOW these turned out better than I thought, they look really great. One minor thing though, do you think it should have "capcom" logos across the bottom instead of "nintendo", like how the sonic spines have "sega"?
TyrannicalFascist:
Yeah, I think you're right. It crossed my mind, but I forgot to do it as the reference spines for the games had Nintendo at the bottom (probably just following the handheld template).
I've reuploaded them on my box.net with the Capcom logos at the bottom.
Should I go back and change the Donkey Kong Land and Donkey Kong Country spines to have the Rareware logo or keep it just Nintendo, or have both?
soundwave925:
I think its ok the way it is because the donkey kong games were developed by rare but published by nintendo, plus DK is one nintendo's flag ship characters.
