Thank you.

I might be able to enhance a bit.

BTW: the link to your covers in your signature still leads to any user own Medifire account.
I still have it saved as a template if some better scans appear i can redo it.

Link working now? I cant tell it works for me i dont know why not for you, if it's still wrong get me a link and post it please.

So, Arseen, it looks like you prefer the vertical format over the retail format.
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?
Speaking as a newbie here, wouldn't regular horizontal covers 'look nicer'?

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.
Of course, I would probably prefer to have all of my covers (which I haven't printed even one yet) in the same format.

I made the template with the original art in mind. You shouldn't need to crop anything.

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.

Thanks for the response.

I counted 303 horizontal-style covers which could be used for NTSC SNES games in the download section.
Of course there are 721-727 NTSC US_region SNES games currently - depending on how you count them, so 303 is not even half of what is needed.

I didn't count the vertical covers, because it seemed that there were fare less vertical NTSC covers than there were horizontal NTSC covers.

Does anyone know if a complete 721-727 set of covers has been produced yet?

Thank you.

With 100% certainty no, not even in crap quality.
