Beautiful.

Although you got the wrong A </nitpick>

 

[KilgoreTrout]

No more EXCITE for me now. I'm all EXCITEd out. :lol :lol

 

[D-X]

Wrong yet so right...

 

[sixteen-bit]

Man...that art is a throwback; remember seeing it in GameFan years ago for the first time. I wish FF would go back to its roots...

FF7 is not FF's "roots"

 

[CurseoftheGods]

This is amazing. :bow

 

[OnPoint]

The Street Fighter 4 on Genesis, Mario Galaxy and RE5 on NES boxes blow my mind. All the other work is great too. I seriously have to learn Photoshop.

 

[JaseMath]

 

[Sword Familiar]

I like this one.

 

[Station42]

No more EXCITE for me now. I'm all EXCITEd out. :lol :lol

:lol :lol just perfect :lol

 

[taps]

Loads of talent all around. The ICO cover captures the SNES boxart style and Soul Calibur reminds me of the cover art for Shining Force (1)

*shrugs* Hehe.

Android, love those PAL Super NES boxes! Great color choices for the outer areas. I remember how it was always thrilling to wait and see which color box the games would get, the color would really change the mood of the box. I remember Super Mario All-Stars and Donkey Kong Country hitting it out of the park with a texture

 

[Android18a]

I want a texture file for that tattered effect. It's not a real SNES box without that.

[Outcast2004]

I bit sloppy, but whatever, I'm at work.
Art is Udon crew I think.

Make the game logo a bit bigger and it's just about perfect

[D.Lo]

These make me long for the old days, games seemed so whimsical.

Where would be be now had this been so?

We all remember the awesome SNES covers for Street Fighter 2:

and Street Fighter 2: Turbo:

So I felt Street Fighter IV needed to stay true to its roots:

Dhalsim is still there... i can't unsee him now. *stares*.

Nice try with with your Box. But i think the yellow/orange color of "street fighter 4" is too crisp and "shiny". I could not make a better one thou.

Great work across the board, congrats to OP on making a stellar thread.

one of the best threads ever

here's a suggestion

someone use that MGS3 art painting and stick it on a sega master system box (I wish I could use photoshop)

Looks more Megadrive-ish to me.

Well, here's my attempt:

I love this thread btw.

 

[JaseMath]

I know. What the fuck was I thinking?

 

[Powerslave]

This looks very good. As if the SNES was still out today and the game just came out for it.

 

[JaseMath]

The way it shoulda been.

Oh shit! Well done I'd never think that a 3D render would work on 16 bit covers but you've gone and done it

 

[Donos]

Where's Dhalsim?

Look behind Hondas hands. There is Dhalsim. This posted someone on the Secret gaming reveal thread on GAF. I will search it and edit my post with the link.

Thanks! I've had to adjust the brightness and contrast levels and add some noise to it to make it fit the cover. It would have looked awful had I just put the original image.

I just noticed how every game looks 100 times better in a Super Nintendo or Sega Genesis Box. How did we allow our game cases to become so generic looking?

hey those aren't tracings of 80s action stars

The SNES box is colourful and cluttered. Which makes for a 'cozy' and fun atmosphere. The Genesis box is slick and cool (the metallic logo). Which makes the games look super hardcore. Nowadays game boxes rather go for the minimalistic or classy approach.

I mean look at this shit:

SO awesome! Can't be quotet enough!

Seriously, they really are the best in this thread (SMG boxart comes close second).

I love the way filter makes it look like the old Capcom/SNK heavily rendered boxart.

I think one of the "problems" with buying a modern game is you feel like you're not getting much for your money. You get a sleek, thin, DVD case, a disc, and - chances are - an 8-page black and white manual.

And yes, in the 16-bit days, particularly the Super NES, the games FELT great. The carts were chunky, and the box was full of stuff - a full colour manual was the norm rather than the exception, you'd get pamphlets, fold-out maps, tips books... some games (like Illusion of Gaia/Time) even had a walkthrough inside!

You picked up the sealed SNES box, and it felt good. Weighty, like you'd just bought something that DID cost £60. Taking off the celophane wrap, trying to open it without creasing the box, taking the cart out of it's little plastic bag... you just don't GET that anymore.

Bring back cardboard boxes for games, I say. And make fold-out maps compulsory in any game with an overworld.

*starts thinking of more ideas for SNES boxes for modern gameses*
