[Hero of Legend]

Original on the left, and "Remastered" on the right.



As you can see, the actual picture that's used in the cover is slightly different than the one on the actual cover. Slightly different depth of field angle, and take a look at his hand. Not to mention the contrast. I did edit the levels a bit, but too lazy to get it to look exactly like the one on the cover, since entire colors are replaced (his bow, for instance).

Damn, didn't notice.

Not a bad job, but the banner is jagged, but thanks for trying it.

 

[EulaCapra]

I like the yellow. It's the extra pop that white can't do.

And hurrah! We might be officially getting light blue DVD cases!

 

[Metroid Hunter]

So I tried to make a mock up for New Super Mario Bros. U.

Regular box art:

Only on Wii U box art:

Yeah, I grabbed the banner from VOOK a couple pages back. I'll try to make my own.

Holy shit. I want that!!

This is FANTASTIC.

I want it bad

 

[Ryoku]

Final remastered version. No more, I promise (unless you ask nicely

Spoiler

and give me moneys

). I also uploaded the logo, which is uncompressed, and contains no artifacts, for those of you who want to make your own covers.

EDIT: Added a cover with Nintendo Network logo, again, for those of you who want to make your own covers.

Shutup!

Spoiler

And take my money!

Someone make sonic all star racing transformed one. Want to see how the colors clash.

 

[Drago]

Yes please!

I'd love to see 5 Sonics with that logo

 

[Uno Venova]

Blue cases, I like it.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

the yellow grew on me I don't mind it at all now, still some of the mock-up in the tread are far better

 

[Boss Man]

Is this confirmed now or something? Dat yellow

 

[Metroid Hunter]

Quick and dirty:

Any other requests?

 

[OMG Aero]

So I tried to make a mock up for New Super Mario Bros. U.

Regular box art:

Only on Wii U box art:

If all Wii-U boxes are blue then it's totally just a cop out so they don't have to give NSMBU a unique box colour like they did with NSMBWii and 2.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

I like it! It's cool that the boxes are blue. Should look nice sitting next to my blurays.

 

[papersleeves]

At first I didn't like it, but now I'm kind of ok with it.

 

[Tenki]

So I tried to make a mock up for New Super Mario Bros. U.

Regular box art:

I want it. NOW.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Quick and dirty:

Colors look great actually.

 

[daycru]

I like the yellow.

 

[Mlatador]

Blue cases with a "tad" of yellow are FANTANSTIC!!

It's feels so FRESH! Aww yeah!

All this Nintendo DS, 3DS and WII case-white is starting to get really boring.

Nintendo wants to have the Wii U games stand out on the shelves - and I welcome the new design and color-sheme of the new cases very much!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I like the yellow.

yeah the more boxes I see the better it looks, its working for Sonic up there

 

[Metroid Hunter]

Here's how Brawl would look:

 

[Goldrusher]

 

[Anth0ny]

yellow still not working for me.

 

[Metroid Hunter]

This looks ridiculous though (the yellow):

 

[Smiles and Cries]

make a COD:BO2 one we all know its coming... sorry MS

beaten... it still works for me no way you'll mistake that box for Wii or anything else

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

It probably looks better looking at the whole box.

 

[Metroid Hunter]

Here are two more. What else should I mock up?

 

[WillyFive]

I'm starting to like it less when used on more games.

I think some of the mockups that fans did back in 2006 would have been better choices for the Wii U instead of that:

That one is from July 2006.

 

[Metroid Hunter]

I made 3 more. IMO the cover only looks good if there is a sky of some sort in the cover art.

 

[PhaZZe]

Not bad, but yellow can be white.

 

[Metroid Hunter]

Quoting from the Wii U Speculation Thread:

Ubisoft rep confirmed that the box art design is real/legit.

http://www.gametrailers.com/side-mission/24589/our-first-looks-at-wii-u-box-art



Very happy about this, I loved the design since it's like a throw back to GameCube!.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I'm enjoying this boxes, yeaah the yellow kind break the whole thing, but I'm getting used to it.

If the yellow turns out to be gold shine, it will be spot on actually.

Oh man! Yeah, what if it turns out that stripe is a gold foil stamp on every game? Suddenly, Wii U is like the "deluxe" version of everything!

 

[Hero of Legend]

I made 3 more. IMO the cover only looks good if there is a sky of some sort in the cover art.

WOW, thought Rayman was real for a sec!

There was another art of Rayman fighting something, I think that one was likely to be the real box, we'll see.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Quoting from the Wii U Speculation Thread:

Wrap it up folks, theys be realz!

Can a mod update the title with Ubi's confirmation please?

Hope we get Rayman and ZombiU's boxes soon.

Edit: Sorry.

 

[Willy Wanka]

The yellow is horrendous but other than that they look fine.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Here's the Rayman art I was talking about:

 

[Metroid Hunter]

Here's the Rayman art I was talking about:

Yeah, that's the first art work I tried but the logo won't fit anywhere.

Okay, last one I promise!

Here's a Wii U Box Art template so you can make your own!

 

[Grinchy]

I kinda like the yellow.

 

[disco]

I think they look fantastic!

 

[Drago]

It's definitely growing on me. I think it looks great on anything that isn't a very dark and black box art (BLOPS 2)

Also, ZOMBIU: Rated E for Everyone

 

[Meelow]

Someone should do a Uncharted or Halo on the template just to see what it looks like lol.

 

[Cactus]

Wow, so much negativity! Maybe the yellow is superfluous, but at the same time, I don't think it's obtrusive enough to elicit such hatred and aversion. I'm obviously speaking only for myself here, but when I look at the boxarts, the thin yellow strip doesn't draw my focus in the least. It's just there.

 

[Hiltz]

Yeah, the yellow is still not working for me with any of those game covers. I really hope Nintendo changes it to white or just takes it out so only the blue tab remains. Well, there's goes the chance of that happening ...

Update: Ubisoft rep officially confirms Wii U boxart is real to GameTrailers.

[boyshine]

It fits over the eyes. The "g" in Legends pushes the left eye down.

 

[Drago]

Posted this in the WiiU thread but nobody cared

You know what the box art logo reminds me of? Nintendo's YouTube thumbnails.

Baby Blue has been Wii's color for it's last few years, and I expect it to be WiiU's for the years ahead. It's a nice color

FFS. Nintendo, you have let me down this time.. There better be some amazing pantone colours hiding behind these rgb-versions.

 

[xJavonta]

The Gaf Cover Art thread needs to be revived for the Wii U.

 

[Arnie]

Yellow looks awful.

 

[FyreWulff]

Yellow line looks weird but otherwise pretty good. I have to give the benefit of the doubt, seeing as how stuff like the Halo 3 360 looks terrible in pictures but awesome in person.
