I love this design so much. I'll be crushed if the EU box doesn't end up looking like something similar to that.

People in the West don't appreciate wacky, colorful and lively designs... instead, we might get something like that:

 

[Kaneda Shotaro]

I want to order games off of Amazon for the savings but I'm worried i'll get them the day after release. I want my Zelda day one, on a Sunday.

It comes out on a Friday and as long as it says release date delivery, you should be good to go.

Looks like EB Australia is sold out of all the Limited Editions for Zelda. That certainly didn't take long. It must be super limited.

That EU Zelda cover is a travesty.

Thankfully Nintendo Australia seems to agree and went with the NA cover.

Awesome news!

 

[GuitarGuruu]

Man I am in love with the dimensions of the case as well as artwork on almost all of these.

Really great stuff, Zelda especially.

 

[Fritz]

Best box ever imho. Huge space for artwork, small pleasant branding. Pleasant measurements and balance. It's awesome!

 

[mollipen]

Solid background color? Left justified game title using a standardized font type? Oh my lord are the American versions of games for at least one platform FINALLY going to have proper spines?

 

[aygomyownroad]

Oh sweet lord I need it!!!

 

[Hero of Legend]

Here you go everyone, a perfect quality, uber-res box template to use however you please!

Let's see some cool boxes!

You don't like the logos? As a European I've always been disappointed in the plain spines we have here.

The Switch really is the PSP successor

You know PSP successor, we really are the Switch.

 

[Yazuka]

Those covers are lovely! I like both US and EU covers of Zelda. I think I prefer the EU, but both are great. Really liking the minimalistic theme for the covers.

👏Zelda👏can't👏defend👏herself👏

NA Bomberman box.

Does I Am Setsuna get a physical release?

Japan is getting one (see link)

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/software/switch/babja/index.html

not sure about any where else yet. Hopefully so.

 

[Vibed]

I really don't understand why so many people are saying the EU BotW boxart is so horrible? I think I might actually prefer it to the NA one, being in NA myself.

 

[Solid SOAP]

Bomberman box is amazing.

Hoping that Sonic Mania gets a Switch boxed release, complete with awesome box.

 

[Marz]

The cases look super nice.

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

I do have to say that the minimize overlays (like the Blue strip the PS4 boxes have) and the location of the Nintendo Switch Logo makes those cases look awesome and the fact they aren't discs...I may have to go back to buying the physical editions of Switch games and not digital.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

That Isaac box art (and ARMS as well) look so great. Shame I can't go physical anymore. Those look fun to collect.

RIP PSP.

Here's what some of the Switch boxes would look like in red, had Nintendo continued the trend they started with the Wii U. I kinda wish they were actually red; it'd make the whole thing a bit more cohesive as a brand (the red Switch logo seems kinda out of place as it is), but it could also clash with some designs too, I suppose. And the red spine could be considered too much if the plastic were the same color. Not sure, to be honest!

Exactly what I was thinking, it would mesh much better with the Logo. Also stands out more. I loved the Wii-U blue, dissapointed they went with the neutral white with the Switch.

 

[paragonpro]

Id imagine the mario games will have red casing. Would be cool if they lade zelda blue or green

 

[cw_sasuke]

Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2

Looks pretty nice - hope it performs well on Switch.

 

[RoadHazard]

Why the fuck would they do that to the EU Zelda cover? Whoever is in charge of deciding shit like that at NoE needs to be fired.

 

[Kacho]

[Mysterious]

That EU Zelda cover is a travesty.

Thankfully Nintendo Australia seems to agree and went with the NA cover.

Also, those clean red spines are fantastic. A shelf of Switch games is gonna be classy.

Will this art be used for the Wii U cover as well?

 

[Malus]

They somehow managed to make Splatoon 2's boxart even more busy than it's predecessor.

I like it better, maybe it's the colors.

 

[eXistor]

The smaller boxes makes the art feel really cramped. Not a big fan tbh.

 

[Crazy Diamond]

Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2

These are gonna be so fun to play on the go. Any word on localization?! I'm halfway through DQH and it's really good.

Really like how this looks. Maybe Nintendo will do that in the future.

EDIT: Also are there any Switch cart comparisons to 3DS or DS carts?

 

[EDarkness]

I do, too. They'll at least have one sale. Really like the box art for a lot of these games...especially the Zelda one.

No announcement yet but there's a listing on Amazon for it

I think it'll look nice for box arts that take advantage of it, like that Bomberman art.

 

[DragonQuarter]

Splatoon 2 box art is so cash

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Yep, I agree with that.

Thank you for this.

 

[Garlador]

It's nice to dream.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's nice to dream.

Sweeeeet Jesus I wasn't expecting this beauty when I opened the thread. Good work.

 

[linkandzelda]

Does anyone have dimensions for these boxes?

 

[jonno394]

It's nice to dream.

Don't worry, i'm sure they'll show off Metroid Prime 4 at E3, announce it as 2018 and then reveal this as a Fall 2017 title to calm the rabid fans.

:'(

 

[sleazefrenzy]

Thank fuck the Switch is region free. I'm tempted to pay a couple bucks more to import Zelda from Amazon US and avoid that awful EU box art. Who makes these decisions at Nintendo?

I like the red much more than the white/clear as it gives it a gamey/famicom kind of quality.

That dark grey on binding of isaac looks the best though.

Hmm interesting.

It's a size comparison.

Size comparison between cases.

 

[Avixph]

Hey peeps look what I found on imgur:

 

[Hattori]

I wonder if it'll have manuals or just be empty like vita cases

 

[Aleh]

I must be one of the few who prefer the white boxes. The spines are red already, it's more balanced this way imo
