Amazon.ca: THESE are real Wii U boxes

I'm kinda feeling it.

Hm, that ridge needs a touch-up but it looks pretty slick.

bish gets all the credit :)
Game Party Champions for Wii U pictures, the graphics are actually pretty impressive.

anything looks better when downsampled so hard.

I would like this design more if publishers were allowed to choose their own colors to match their cover art, something like this:
Makes no sense as there'd be no consistency. How would you find WiiU cases on the shelf at a glance?

For the whole box wouldn't work.The yellow line though would be amazing for each publisher to choose the colour and the boxes would still be consistent.
 
It's okay, I guess. Though I'd prefer if the box itself was darker blue, like in the OPs fanmade AC3 example. Especially since they've changed the official logo from the lighter to darker blue this year, which I prefer. Oh well...

1) I'm 100% sure these are legit.
2) They look like educational kid's software. Leapfrog, Pico, whatever. Bad decision.

Get rid of the shadow on "Nintendo Network" and it's good.

There's also a slight shadow on the Wii U logo that's not supposed to be there, and a gradient in the blue stripe. Probably copied from the FIFA cover which seems to have added the sun flare as a top layer.
 
Fixed the NiN logo shadow, but the banner is slightly different as some said, plus the shading at where the cover bends is missing, it's preferable if someone did a perfect rip of the banner on FIFA.

But I guess it doesn't matter unless you plan on putting the shade on every artwork you put on it.

DON'T DO THIS TO ME

Never a good idea. You want a consistent boxart branding scheme to make your product united and distinguishable from other hardware. It's okay for the occasional collector's edition, but if every game box had different colors and schemes it would be too chaotic.

Also, the yellow looks good because it's complementary to the teal.

Well, I'm in love with my own idea and did another one.

Can you redo Rayman with the original setup? Plus whichever rating Origins had? And with the Ubisoft logo of course. They might go with the white lettered one.

Not sure if there's any sort of online in the game, so I don't know if it'd use Nintendo Network or not.
