👏Zelda👏can't👏defend👏herself👏

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, is that Zelda grabbing the Master Swords there in the bottom right!? Have we seen that!? Why the hell would they put something like that on the damn box??

 

[BGBW]

I don't mind the EUR cover for BotW minus the birds.

It's made even worse when you realise that they were added deliberately rather than being there as a result of a crop from the original artwork.

 

[Hero of Legend]

SE seems to be the publisher of Spelunker, huh.

 

[Terrell]

I'm assuming we still don't have the full height-width-depth dimensions of the cases? I've seen height-width, but I'm curious how thick the cases are.

 

[sphinx]

has there been a side-by-side comparison of Switch and PSP cases???


I am still very curious to see how they compare

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Guys, I find awesome those custom covers, but my heart skips a beat with some of those images.

Could we have a separate thread with the desired covers and keep this with the actual ones?

Redout box from Amazon

This is a game noone talks about, whereas it's the best Wipeout clone ever released.

I hesitated getting it for my Vive, waiting for VR optimizations that didn't come.

I can't wait to see if the game is as well ported as Fast on Switch. In that case it wil be a major 3rd party game to get this spring. I much prefer its gameplay than Fasts's Ikaruga mechanics.

 

[Morfeo]

Please, Sega.

Now we are talking!

 

[KingBroly]

This is insanely impressive box art. Even the back and sides are a masterclass.

Why is

Spoiler

Zelda holding the Master Sword? And why does she have a Shield on her back?

 

[Branduil]

The box art for Mario Kart and Splatoon is way too busy. Zelda is absolutely perfect, though.

They all fit the game imo.

 

[megashock5]

Please, Sega.

I want this SO badly.

And a physical release of Sonic Mania, please.

Probably as thick as a 3DS case.

Also, found at EB Games Australia...

I'm wondering if Nintendo is going to print manuals again giving that there isn't any second screen for the Switch unlike the Wii U and 3DS.

I don't see what dual screens had to do with Wii U and 3DS switching to largely digital manuals.

 

[Bulbasaur]

Everybody who posts fraudulent covers should be banned.

 

[Maiar_m]

I'm so excited for this console it's crazy. It's like Nintendo made a console just for me.

Same. And if the general feedback is to be trusted, they apparently did make it for only a handful of people while the majority is just very angry at them!

 

[Captain_Wreckus]

Wouldn't be surprised if the Switch cases & the 3DS games are the same thickness.

 

[sir_bumble_bee]

Nah, they showed of the Zelda case on Treehouse live. The height and thickness looked about the same as a ps4 case, but the width seems about 25% narrower.

 

[Malakai]

I don't think reading a large manual on the TV screen is very convenient; the 3DS second screen and the gamepad allowed a bit more interactivity. On another note, is there even a home button on the Switch? I'm wondering how will Nintendo address this aspect.

There is a home button on the bottom right under the right analogue stick. Equivalent button on the left is the capture button (screenshots at launch, video capture update coming later).

Is it not getting a physical release in NA? Cause I would love to buy it that way.

 

[DoubleYou]

Some of these Switch boxes look like they come straight from that "design your own box art" Gaf thread. Love the minimalism, especially the Zelda one. Is it the same in Europe?

This is the European Zelda box.

 

[Cyborg]

Would love to see the logo in right under corner. Its bothering me in the top left corner.

 

[AGoodODST]

Please say the EU is getting that Bomberman box art. It's awesome.

 

[orioto]

The us zelda boxart is way better to me

 

[Spades]

I got bored so made my own Zelda replica:

It's really nice having smaller game cases again.

I still haven't played it but will definitely buy if we get a physical version.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Yup.

 

[AGoodODST]

Yup.

Nice, thanks.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Bomberman and US Zelda box art are so good!

Haha, you give this to YouTuber or something and GAF will have a 50 page thread debating if it's real.

Going back to physical media with the Switch for a few reasons, but the box art has become the main draw. They're pretty much all gorgeous.

I want Bomberman R and Puyo Puyo Tetris for my shelves alone.

I'm trying to decide whether to go digital or physical on the Switch (on the PS4 I buy big releases physical). Would you mind sharing what are your other reasons for buying physical?

(sorry for the off-topic)

 

[DMiz]

Totally fine with this approach! It really sells you on the GAME, and the first few titles have such colourful, pop-out art that it makes sense to present them in this way.

Cool. Didn't watch the treehouse video yet

 

[King Al B]

What about a comparison to the Japanese GCN cases. Werent those case (almost) DVD height, but just not as wide? Maybe they are just using a modified Game Cube mold?

Honestly, having the option to sell games back down the line. I recently went through some old stuff and sold a bunch of games - got a decent amount for it (which I used to buy new games).

Also not having to worry about space on a hard drive or SD card. I had to uninstall/install games multiple times on my PS4 - was just annoying to want to play a game and realize you uninstalled it to make room.

 

[OldMan]

Gold was always the best

 

[PixyJunket]

Dragon Quest Heroes 1 and 2

*heavy breathing*

 

[opricnik]

Can anyone with time and skill make Fighting game ones?

like Smash 4, Mortal Kombat X, Injustice 2,UMVC3, Marvel Vs Infinite , TEK7 etc..

would love those

 

[DoubleYou]

This is the European Zelda box.

But why.... Damn, the other one is perfect. Might actually import one from the US now it's region free.

 

[Octavianus]

I prefer the EU Zelda boxart. it looks bright and adventurous.
