I can't comment on the Wii U, but between all the other consoles it seems to me that the Wii has some of the best art on the game disks themselves.

This occurred to me as I popped in The Last Story.

Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I wrong?

Make a thread about disc art, include no examples of disc art?

 

[thekonamicode]

The Wii U discs have those lovely rounded edges. It's like my fingertips go on a vacation everytime I swap a game.

 

[raven777]

doesn't disk art depend on the game, not the console?

 

[ElectricKaibutsu]

Your disc arts, let me see them.

 

[Kade]

AOL had the best disc art, buddy.

 

[Orpheus Telos]

How can a console have the best disk art? Doesn't that depend on the game?

 

[H3xum]

Discs have art?

Yup. Came here for disc art. Leaving none the wiser.

I thought they were coasters?

[badgenome]

Games still come on discs?

 

[Jacksonlee]

you lazy bastard.

 

[Moz La Punk]

Since OP did not post

Yeah, that is nice art

 

[ohNOitsRO]

Hey! My digital copy didnt come with box art?! Wtf is this bs?

 

[Infernal Monkey]

I dunno, Wii discs looked cheap and nasty as shit for the first few years.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Good disc art, NOW. It was some of the shiitiest one-color screen on the beginning.

 

[Jibbed]

Seeing as nobody is posting disk art...

Yeah, when I read about them pre-release I was like "It can't make a difference."
But the first time I put a disc in, and every time after, I'm just in awe. So soft.

 

[Kerub]

I like this one.

Looks much better than what we've got:

 

[Shig]

What? No. That's a very selective sample you're using to represent the whole library... Most Wii discs only have 1 or 2 colors. It's like PS1, every once in a while you'd get a Working Designs that would go the extra mile on the disc image, but the vast majority of them were spendthrift 1-color presses.

It's Xbox and PS3 where full-color disc images are the rule.

The later ones looked pretty nice though.

Gamecube discs were bad since nearly half the disc ended up being a label. Not as bad on Sony's discs since it takes up a significantly smaller portion of the disc.

 

[Kentpaul]

I couldn't see the disk art due to all the dust.

 

[bomblord]

Anyway
This one was amazing

 

[jwk94]

Seeing this thread made me realize that I haven't touched a game disk since Tomb Raider came out. And even then I got it on the PC first through Steam before buying the PS3 version shortly after.

 

[sphinx]

Galaxy 2 does look pretty fine

 

[thekonamicode]

*edit*

beaten by seconds!


Also, it's disc, not disk.

 

[soxinthebox]

I like this one.

That's just the GameCube art blown up to a full sized DVD

depends

 

[thekonamicode]

depends

I see. I always associated 3.5 floppies or hard drives to disk. I stand corrected then.

 

[Easy_D]

I think Gamecube games had better disc art. I mean look at the Sunshine disc.

Or the Melee disc!

 

[Syril]

I always liked Kirby's Epic Yarn

 

[jett]

I like this one.

That's pretty genius. All of the disc art in my PS3 games is boring as fuck.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

The Wii U discs have those lovely rounded edges. It's like my fingertips go on a vacation everytime I swap a game.

I guess vacations aren't meant to be very often.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Yeah, Kirby's Epic Yarn's disc is great.

I agree that Wii games knocked it out of the park in this area.

 

[RoadDogg]

Those new play control discs are such cop outs! They just took the GC disc art and stuck it on a full sized disc without resizing it. Can't get any more lazy then that.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I think galaxy 2 is like the best disk art ever. That shit just look like a game itself

 

[dark_prinny]

Are discs art?

 

[Dogfacedgod]

Since OP did not post

This is it. Sorry my photo posting skill are lacking.

 

[stryke]

Or am I wrong?

Who's to tell you otherwise. It's entirely your opinion.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Yeah, I agree with OP.

doesn't disk art depend on the game, not the console?

How can a console have the best disk art? Doesn't that depend on the game?

No, not at all really. The console manufacturer decides what NEEDS to be on the disc art. Most Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 discs look pretty bad. There's so much text and logos everywhere. There are a few exceptions, of course.

Also, it's disc, not disk.

WP: "A disc (International English) or disk (American English), from Latin discus which itself derives from Greek δίσκος, is a flat circular object."

Wow this is amazing.

 

[Codeblue]

Anyway
This one was amazing

I love it when they find a way to incorporate the disc into the art.

 

[Radec]

Art is overrated!

 

[Dogfacedgod]

 

[Hiltz]

The Last Story disc looks nice!

 

[NotLiquid]

One of my faves

Obligatory.
