I like this color scheme to be honest...

Here it is without the logos:

 

[Tagg9]

I see you haven't played the game.

I have, I was just poking fun at him for going off topic.

 

[The Bookerman]

All I can think of while watching this box art.

 

[show me your skeleton]

 

[Roo]

I'll buy this..
after all I couldn't play the PS3 versios cuz I was really busy when it came out.
The good thing is that the Wii U version will come with all the DLC from the other versions on-disc plus new armor lol

 

[nordique]

I really like these Wii U cases. Smartly designed, and the blue is a nice, pleasing colour


The general Batman artwork on the case is very...average I suppose.

 

[nordique]

This is awesome


But needs more clutter!

 

[jett]

That yellow-teal color on Wii U boxes might actually be uglier than the 360's purple-green scheme.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Quick and dirty.

 

[Drago]

Is it bad that I think this looks better than the original box? lol

 

[EloquentM]

That yellow-teal color on Wii U boxes might actually be uglier than the 360's purple-green scheme.

That's just silly.

 

[Bravocado]

It kinda looks like the sensational box art of a game released in the 80s/90s that had little or nothing to do with the game (shock gauntlets?).

 

[U2NUMB]

Cant wait to see the list of accomplishments!!!!

 

[krameriffic]

If Batman punches someone with electric gauntlets, he might kill them.

When the fuck did he get electrogauntlets? MAYBE HE GETS THEM IN THE NEW DLC?!

....but they are in the game..

 

[MarkMclovin]

Needs more blue.

 

[Bravocado]

....but they are in the game..

If you mean the REC, I'm pretty sure that it was a gun.

 

[Teknoman]

Its been said, but really not liking that light blue.

 

[Solid warrior]

I expected an armored box. Pre-order canceled.

 

[BadAss2961]

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I thought game boxes couldn't get uglier than the 360s.

I was so horribly wrong. That blue/yellow shit is vomit inducing.

 

[Tuck]

I know its been mentioned several times in other threads, but that yellow band under the Wii U logo is very odd, and their choice of blue was... questionable.

Cover is fine I suppose, though I'm shocked it doesn't have a billion logos on it like the game of the year edition.

 

[J@hranimo]

The glowing arm things with the blue go well with the game case. It's nice.

 

[FStop7]

I LOVE the concept that Reggie is somehow capable of vocalizing a check mark.

 

[Levyne]

I love you, GAF

 

[SmokedMeat]

That electric blue the Wii cases are using is hideous.

Yeah, not a fan of that baby blue either.

 

[Hoodbury]

Yeah, not a fan of that baby blue either.

It's not baby blue, it's Batman! blue.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Fuck this, I was hoping we'd get 10/10 GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION video game, with that Arkham City sticker.

 

[Lambtron]

I am way into the blue cases. I loved the green Xbox 360 cases, too. The original Xbox ones were a bit too close to puke.

 

[Hero of Legend]

 

[v0yce]

Ugh, those Wii U boxes are awful. Truly awful.

Is it really so hard to keep the stupid box a neutral color and allow the cover artwork to work on its own without being drowned by barfy blue or Mt Dew Xtreme green?

No doubt some suit with zero taste forced this on Nintendo's art department because he has some power point slide with statistics showing how this will make it easier for people to see the WiiU section from halfway across the store.

Now we all get to suffer these tacky boxes that will make even the best cover art look stupid. Even the Rayman one looks bad.

 

[Gregorn]

This thread is everything I wanted it to be.

 

[zroid]

That grimace looks entirely stupid

 

[Mxrz]

That blue is disgusting. Is it the actual case that is blue or could custom box art fix it?

 

[Currygan]

I...kind of like it

Batman looks like Mr Freeze though

 

[Ithil]

I really don't like that shade of blue.

 

[BadAss2961]

That grimace looks entirely stupid

He's thinking "dat ass" looking at Catwoman.

 

[EloquentM]

That blue is disgusting. Is it the actual case that is blue or could custom box art fix it?

whole case is blue

 

[Jaded Alyx]

If you mean the REC, I'm pretty sure that it was a gun.

No, they are in this version. Along with the armour he's wearing and the screen thing on his wrist.

 

[Kurtofan]

I love Electric Blue, it's punchy.

 

[kuYuri]

Add some Joker "HAHAHAHA" just for kicks, cross out "Batman" and put "FATMAN" or something.

Just to make it even busier.

 

[Grisby]

I don't know. My first reaction was laughter. It just seems to cartoony or something. I think its the blue energy fists.

 

[VeryGooster]

He's thinking "dat ass" looking at Catwoman.

I heard "dat ass" in Conroy's voice and laughed.

 

[BGBW]

So I guess yellow is now going to appear in the branding of the WiiU. A yellow port?

 

[lupinko]

Don't forget to make it bilingual for Canada.

 

[Het_Nkik]

I don't know. My first reaction was laughter. It just seems to cartoony or something. I think its the blue energy fists.

He's Batman. That's the kind of shit he has.

 

[Conor 419]

Oh man did I laugh at that box art edit.

 

[Cjdamon042]

You can't be serious. Maybe without all the logos and quotes.

I still prefer that to the WiiU one.

I'm not saying it's good, because it isn't lol, but I still think it looks better regardless. The WiiU one just looks cheap and tacky. It doesn't even make me think of Rocksteady's Batman games, but rather some shovelware game instead. Whereas the 10/10, quotes in your face, one doesn't look cheap and tacky, it just looks messy. The colour scheme is also better.

 

[kittens]

Wait, so the case's plastic is baby blue? Is that true for all Wii U games?

Its clear that Nintendo is making sure not to repeat the mistake they did with the DS and 3DS by having the boxes basically identical. They probably could have used a better color but that Blue is what they settled on for the Wii U logo

So far all box arts have shown the blue case
