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

I recall opening Ghostbusters and being shocked, it was the first multi-color Wii disc I'd seen- it wasn't great, but at least it was in color... SMG2 was amazing


So glad they dropped the Gamecube-era 2-color discs.

Obligatory.

Wow! That's awesome

Truth.

I can only imagine what PS4 disc art will look like ... also other unannounced next gen hardware disc art.

Will there be holographic anti-counterfeit insignias? Will the discs have smooth edges like the Wii U?

This thread made me realize I have no idea what PS3 disc art looks like. I take a look, and it's covered with logos and text.

So maybe OP is right in that the Wii printing template is simpler and allows the occasional instances of good art to really shine through.

lol, some of those early Wii discs look like they came packaged inside a cereal box.

But while the disc art looks nice, the Wii has the worst spines of all the systems. They're just all a terrible uniform white with a logo. There's very little variation between games.

Goddamn!

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

Oh, didn't know that. It's nice nonetheless.

 

[Lijik]

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 two colors stopped sometime in 07/08 for every game, even nobudget licensed trash
Cant remember the last game I saw with them.

I really like this, it makes for a uniform look and way easier to find the game I want.

ps3 is a mess

It's so annoying how some PS3 spines look incredibly cool and like it is it's own game while others are just... nothing. Nothing grates me more than getting a blank, white spine on it with the game's name spelled out in Arial Black. It's especially bad in Europe, my inner OCD screams in agony.
