They had a couple of levels planned in this style, I really wish Nintendo had gone along with it, but alas as we know they’re not too fond of mentioning the VB outside of little homages.
Oh, I attached clearer images for the benefit of anyone who wasn’t familiar.
I keep my games in a box as well, just a cardboard one.
That pink 3DS is the world’s first pink 3DS – a prototype made up in a different shade of pink, not all the inside is pink though. It doesn’t get much use right now, but there are some great games around the corner.
Though I think it’s kinda silly, Nintendo usually include the http:// in their manuals even. That’s usually on the inside though, I wouldn’t imagine them insisting on it for the manual covers and haven’t seen that before.
Ironically it’s more noticeable as is, because there’s a gap that shows it’s been tampered with.
Officially, it would be laid up this way. I do this with Nintendo as part of my job and it’s something I’d expect to see, but I’m not married to it if it’s just me.
I’m not too fussed about it really if people think it’s unnecessary – but please, please put the maintenance on one line and the URL call to action on the line below. That would read much better. So, like this:
NEED HELP WITH INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE?
VISIT WW.PLANETVB.COM
(I couldn’t center text – but center the lower line in the red box I’d say. Also only WW. here as the website turned it into a hyperlink and changed formatting with three)
Just insert a higher res VB logo (from the site) for that part. I know it’s obvious, but it should read: http://www.PlanetVB.com
(without the underline that the site adds)
It’s generally best to write URLs that way, as they read better, but have a think about it. It’s as if people see the www. and know it’s a website, but then the eye dismisses the www. so it doesn’t look ugly. Upper and lower case mix is best practice too.
Guys DOESBENFOLDFIVE made a great looking manual cover. I’d suggest it’s best to go with that, after he’s finished te last bits. I’d repost here but I’m on my iPhone so it’s difficult…
I’ll upload the manual when I get a chance to edit it this week. I’ll get it done in enough time don’t worry, let’s let the list fill out a bit more first.
Hedgetrimmer, as we’re both in the UK – what’s the chance of making an extra one to order? If you did that, do you have an idea of what the costs might be? I’d be very interested in that, it looks like a great case from the render.
I’m reluctant to buy one of the US Blockbuster cases as the current going price (plus shipping to England) isn’t really an attractive deal.
I’ll touch up the manual if someone can host up on another site.
I’ll also see if I can get a card insert template made, it should just be a one sheet and some glue that anyone can make (or get a donor from an unwanted box game like I do).
