Games with reversible covers:
« on: May 13, 2012, 12:33:50 pm »
I *really* like some of these, and now, as I'm going (slowly) through my collection & adding games here...I'm also opening-up all of my cases and verifying the condition of each game & if the manual for the game is there as well.

*Except for any *sealed* games, of course :)

So far, I noticed that:

Heavenly Sword and Folklore (both for the PS3)

and

Digital Devil Saga (for the PS2) all have double-sided art-work for their covers.

Anyone else who likes these, knows of some, or has some to add...please do so!

Yeah.

I always enjoy finding out that a game I've had for ages has this...and I didn't know about it!

...It's always a pleasant surprise for me:)

An example (of a game I've had for ages w/o knowing that the cover was 2-sided) is another PS(2) RPG that I just noticed the 'alternate' art-work side to it called Stella Deus: The Gate of Eternity.

Good idea!

I may add it to the descriptions & possibly also include it in "My Notes"...

Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 has a reversible cover, as does Xenoblade.

I know Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex has a reverse able cover too. As does Xenoblade Chronicles, Disidiea: Final Fantasy and Kid Icarus: Uprising. I'm sure I have a couple others... but can't think of them atm.

Quite a few PSP covers do that, I think, because of the clear cases... would those be considered reversible as well or just inside art?  Something we could add to that slideshow of covers for the item record?

I'd consider anything where you can have a choice of 2 different pictures/art work for your cover as "reversible".

I've come across a couple more, but instead of adding one every time I find one, I think that I'll just wait...and at the end of each day...list any that I may have found.

You're right - there *are* a good amount of these on the PSP (and, so far, I've also found some for the PS2, PS3, and DS; as well).

Alright - I've quite diligently added another 50 of my games today, and that's enough!

I'm about to grab something to eat and watch me some Law & Order and Game of Thrones!

It was nice that I found another double-sided/reversible cover in one of the last 10 games that I added.
Not only that...but...as I was checking out the other side of the cover...I found/noticed that there is *Also* an *Additional poster/Insert between the cover itself & the case.

If anyone's interested/has the game...it was:

Izuna 2: The Return of the Unemployed Ninja (on the DS).
And, the insert/poster was a pretty cute one of Izuna :)

Borderlands for 360 has a reversible cover.

I think we should keep this thread going and create a full list.

I know there are a bunch but right now all I can remember is Mass Effect 3. You can choose to display a male or female Shepard on the cover.

Didn't know about the 360 Borderlands one.

I'm wondering if they're "console-specific" or "game-specific" (as in if the 360 Borderlands has it...does that automatically mean that all versions of the Borderlands game will have it)?

I can't help here since I don't have any of the Borderlands versions.

I'd also like to keep the list going & updated.
Not only because it will be interesting to see if all platforms/versions are created equal and because it will be a nice list to watch grow...but because I really love finding out about ones I have & didn't know about.

Unfortunately, all I can do "tech-wise" is if I find a game front/back cover or picture of something for sale in an on-line store...using my ps3's browser I can save the image & then link it to the site.

I presently don't have the ability (camera) to take pictures (like pics of both sides of the cover to add) which is unfortunate because I would love to see & add these double-sided covers as we find them.

..Eventually...I *may* get my digital camera back from my sister (but seeing as she's 100 miles from my house (and the new  (and 1st time) mother of a 9 month old infant) - I'm sure that returning the camera isn't high on her list of present priorities.

Looks like I may have 'traded' my nice digital camera for an "uncle-ship"...seems fair enough to me :)

NOT just DVD-Styled, my friend...I know for a fact that some of my PS2, PS3, DS (cartridge), and PSP (UMD) have these 'double-siders'...
