[imastalker co.]

[bionic77]

Any chance we get something like this in the US?

 

[Mejilan]

Ah well.

 

[Mashing]

I propose that Nintendo pumps massive amounts of money into IS and Retro and allow both stuidios to make the art for their games. Fantastic stuff.

I thought that Nintendo obviously was already allowing this? Were you referring to the game covers Mashing?

 

[Brandon F]

That calendar looks like it has art from the earlier games. That's pretty cool.

 

[Deku Tree]

Do we have a US release date yet?

 

[Pellham]

Neat freebies but I wish there was a deluxe package. Thracia 776 and Fuuin no Tsurugi both had awesome deluxe packages that included things like plushies, video tapes, and cloth maps.

Any takers on whether they'll change the box art for US?

Don't they change the boxes of all GC games?

 

[opkal]

Is there a actual answer to why North American releases never get these freebies, or is just to much work to recreate all the extra stuff in English when it's given away for free?

...I'm pretty sure I answered my own question.

Not just their own games. He meant the art for all of Nintendo's games.

[Sagitario]

I <3 the artwork...

The cover of the CD case reminds me of LOTR Saruman's tower..

It will be some horribly mutated variant of the JP box art and it will look ugly.

Example:

yeah, cos that sure was nintendo's fault.

personally, i think they're doing a great job with the FE boxes.

I'm talking about letting the artists at IS and Retro do the art assests for Nintendo's stable of games. It's obvious they have very good artists on staff but they don't use them nearly enough in their games.

 

[Link]

While I agree that IS and Retro have some fantastic art skills, I think EAD can hold their own, if the artwork for Link from the new Zelda is any indication.

Agreed, but as Link has pointed out the artwork for the new LOZ is astounding imo. Anyone have a name on that artist?

 

[explodet]

My prediction for the preorder bonus for North America?

Finger puppets.

You heard it here first!
