Hey all. For my VB collection, I’ve been displaying my games using this method, http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=79852 I think it’s a fantastic way to show off my games while keeping my cardboard boxes safe from damage (keeping the boxes separately in a plastic tub). From the site I have covers for the 14 NA games and V Tetris but was wondering if anyone out there was good with photo shop (I suck at it) that could make covers for Virtual Fishing, Inmouse, Virtual Lab, Space Invaders, SD Gundam, Virtual Bowling, and Space Squash. Also if possible, the Planet VB releases Bound High, Space Pinball, Faceball VB Prototype, and Bloxx (plus the other releases when they come out). I’d like to keep my collection uniform and if we could get these files out, others who enjoy this method of displaying their games without PS skills could also put them to use. Thanks in advance to anyone who could make these.

Funny you’d ask about this, I just started working on redoing all the NA titles to the better template and doing homebrew, translated, and proto covers.

That’s awesome. Thank you! I can’t wait to see the other covers. I’m sure others on here would greatly appreciate them!

If you provide me with a template I will do this for every of my games after they get their release.

Can you use that Bound High as a template? Sadly I am not good with photo shop to create one.

Also, for anyone that wishes to keep their VB games like this, here is the link to buy the cases from Nintendo. It’s kinda long. 5 cases for $4. I went with the red cases. Makes the VB games really stand out and look nice.

I sure could do. However, I assume someone has a template already right? Would save me some work…

Hi guys,

This is the template I was using:

http://www.thecoverproject.net/uploads/TEMPLATES/NDS/Nintendo%20Handhelds%20Template%20-%20Shenske.psd

I just used CS4 to save it as a JPEG

Going to bump this up since it’s been awhile. Still needing a few of the covers if anyone has them made. Would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Faceball Remastered

i wish we could have a japanese version style template and also versions of theses covers.
The japanese design is in my opinion much nicer and more serious.

I do have a JP template that’s nearly done. I got stumbled on my JP Bound High! cover because my PC died. Files all saved though.

The covers look great specially fishbone good work thunder ;D

Would it be possible to get the template as a PNG file? I do not own a copy of Photoshop, I use Paint.net for all my needs. I’ll cut up the PNG and make a Paint.net template out of it on my own.

Thanks!

Here is the Japanese PNG and the US PNG.

They are not mine, but are mostly correct.
Spine needs editing and some strokes look too heavy, but it’s good for mockups.

let’s all just make sure we’re using the same template, I can’t tell you annoying it is to print off a bunch of inserts and 2/3 of them are different from one another (graphics used, etc.) lol.

Do you (or whoever made the template) have a template for the regular american Box as well?

XD

No I pulled the psd file straight from thecoverproject. It’s one of their template files.

I did a cover for Space Squash, but i have no idea what to write on the back. I can’t translate the original back cover (here), and I… well, you don’t want some awkward, poorly worded sentences on your cover 😛
