The market leader traditionally does not use any 'only on/for' logo.
Ok guys, I suck at Gimp but I want to learn. I tried to make a Metroid Prime 4 mock-up cover art. I'm sure the photoshop experts will see the errors right away. I tried to find the proper Metroid Prime font, as it is thicker and more silver but I had to deal with Metroid Prime Hunters font instead. Bear with me here and let me know what you think.

So I tried to make a mock up for New Super Mario Bros. U.

Only on Wii U box art:
This is going to look more fun than the official artwork. >.>

Sure, but we'll have to get used to staring it at for at least the next 5 years.
Other than the awkward water on the left, this is great, and exactly what I'd expect the real thing to look like. The banner really looks good in examples like this too, it's just that there are so many other games it'd look terribly out of place on. Would've been nice to go with something a little safer that would work more universally, but really I just can't hate it too much.So I tried to make a mock up for New Super Mario Bros. U.

Banner doesn't connect at all with "mature" games...

Guys the real issue is that these cases will be those stupid recycle cases (who the hell recycles cases anyways, it's probably just an excuse to cheap out on plastic).

I wish Nintendo would have saved metroid trilogy for Wii U.

That's exactly what it is and I hate it.
I'm starting to like it less when used on more games.
I think some of the mockups that fans did back in 2006 would have been better choices for the Wii U instead of that:
That one is from July 2006.
too busy. beveled wii logo, chrome/metallic look for no reason. shadow on the white part, shadow on the blue part. nintendo logo is an afterthought.
the simpler wii u on blue works better. not sold on the yellow, but i don't outright dislike it.

If they're gonna do that they might as well have custom cutouts like the 3DS boxesGuys the real issue is that these cases will be those stupid recycle cases (who the hell recycles cases anyways, it's probably just an excuse to cheap out on plastic).

It's real? Well I hope the yellow looks better in person. It's starting to grow on me, but I still don't think it goes well with mature games.

I think the point of that color is to standout, not try and "connect" with any game. They picked a color that is rarely if ever, used in box art. The same with xbox360's bright neon green color.

I was talking about the yellow "swoosh." The teal banner is fine.

Well if someone looking for say Metroid Prime 4, sees the box art and goes "Naaaa, box is too kiddy, I'm not buying!" then I think they are the ones with a mixed up perception of "mature".

Wonder if the cases will also be blue, like the Vita and PAL PS2 games.

I think it works, I personally don't agree with the yellow just under the banner.
You should remove Retro's logo. They don't have their logo on their games. Also, replace the Nintendo logo with the new grey logo. Try centering the "Ressurection" part a little more by moving it to the right a bit. Just some constructive criticism
The rest is great.
Will do! Just need some sleep first. I like the retro logo they are my fav but I will try it tour way too. I just noticed the resurrection is a little of

Starting to like the yellow actually :3
I'm OK with this, I guess.
First comment in that link
"If Shiguru Miyamoto got highlights in his hair, do you think that would be a news article too?"
Fucking Shiguru...

I realize it's a joke, with a typo no less, but actually that would be big news... dying his hair would raise speculation whether it's a hint about his next game idea. It's his fault for giving out hints anyway.
As for the topic, I still don't appreciate the yellow. Guess I'll have learn to live with it.
