Wii U box art

[ultimate victory]

The PS3 and Gamecube boxes are the only boxes I'll ever truly be happy with.

The 360 has an ugly logo and the Wii U looks like something from a bad educational system. Mainly because the Sky Blue and the yellow.The yellow clashes with stuff and blue isn't one of those "Goes with everything" colors, like black or grey. Hence why the Gamecube and PS3 have the best boxes ever. That and PS3 boxes themselves have the white/grey color instead of the ugly green or generic black.

6th gen was practically black based boxes, except Dreamcast which made white cool (but there are black label games). Xbox 1 stood out the most due to green cases.
5th gen the N64 logo was really colorful with that book page turning effect that seemed somewhat kiddy overall, Playstation remained the most consistent box design feel to today and Saturn was classy gold in Japan (white/silver? in US).

Actually I think gold should come back... better than yellow. Maybe Sony should do it. I think they are the classy of the three and can pull it off.

I wrote it off as fake/mock-up at first, since it's a recolor of the Gamecube box art.

And how is it that I fully expected a certain someone to be doing his thing here, yet I still find it sad as all get out?

PS3 boxart is really slick. slick black, like chad warden.

Although I like the PS Vita box art too. it's not black, but it's still pretty slick looking.



that's one slick boxart, I'd buy the PS Vita version physical just because of that boxart.

You heard it here first, Wii U is casual because box art is blue.

Then how come Shadi likes the Vita box art? Oh wait, it's because it's not curved. Silly me.

Design is a bunch of elements, not just color. The way you arranage and use elements affects the final product, you use and arrange elements in different ways depending on the target audience. Nintendo's target audience obviously isn't hardcore gamers.

Theres a huge difference between the PS Vita and Wii u boxes, even in the color blue alone, theres a huge diffence between the color being used.

The box art for Wii U games looks pretty bad. At least with Wii it was a nice white.

This baby blue is vile and looks like it would appeal to a child. The rounded curve at the top also looks very casual and cheap.

The fact that the Vita uses different shades of blue, isn't curved, and lacks a yellow line makes it better.

I like light blues, I guess I"m a casual gamer now.
