Title: Virtual Console "Box Art" how should we handle this?
Post by: scott on August 09, 2011, 12:43:24 pm

Considering Nintendo lacks any info on their site for VC games. I was wondering how we should do the box art for Those titles? Considering that the only thing you see on your Wii menu is a shot of the Title screen, maybe we should use that instead? I'm going to do a couple as tests and see how it looks.

Any input is more than welcome.

I think the title screen shot is fine.  I think since we go with whatever the shop shows in PSN or XBLA, it'd still be consistent.
*looks at eShop page for Mario's Picross on Nintendo.com*
... Ugh, why do all the title screen images have that stupid banner on the bottom?  Now I see why you posted this question... They're pretty awful.

The virtual console images are way worse with the little Wii controller overlapping the title screen... example

Ok so yeah. We'll use the Nintendo eShop image for our box art. Just like Steam, XBLA, PSN and the like.
