Link is still way too dark

Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisss..

It's your best work ever. But I only have one complaint: Nintendo would never, ever, EVER put 3rd party characters on the box for the game. Even Sonic. It wouldn't happen. They're guaranteed to be secret characters, even if they ARE in the game, and would not be shown on the cover. So it ruins it a bit for me to see them there, over Nintendo characters.

Yeah ... Sonic and Snake are both on the back. I didn't have any of the 3rd party characters be a part of the main Nintendo characters on the front. I thought including some in the little boxes to the left and right would be alright though. It's not necessarily true that they'd all be secret characters either. Thanks for the advice though!

Try making some of the background color red on the back (same red as in the logo).

I've actually already tried that ... didn't look too great

Also... I can't see the Wii U and 3DS versions having the same name. Even if they do interact with one another, as Sakurai says, it would be too confusing from a marketing standpoint to give them the same name. There should be a Wii U version with the Universe name, and then a 3DS version with a different name, different cover, etc.

Hm ... I was under the impression that they'd both be the same game with the same mechanics. After all, making two games with completely different mechanics and releasing them at the same time is crazy. Many games are released for multiple platforms and have the same name, whether on handheld or on console. Skylanders, for example.

Gonna fix Link now.

What do you guys think of the back and Link's highlights? I keep thinking that it's too cluttered ... and then I remember Brawl's cluttered back.



Does this look complete to you all?

[YoshiStar]

Those boxes in the front are intended to be left like that.

Hmm, yeah ... the polygons should be lowered a bit.

Anything else?

I particularly think that the characters on the front should be renders over a solid single gradient background rather than screencaps.

I agree. I'll work on that. I'll also try to get images that are more consistent in artstyle.

Anything else to add to my to-do list?

[Throavium]

This is gonna be up to you because this is only what I think, that everything on the back that is slanted should be straight instead.

[YoshiStar]

Thanks for the idea! I love it so much more now. Makes it look way more official. I also changed up the characters in the boxes on the front. What do you guys think?



How does that look? Any final things to change?

Wow! I'm glad you liked my suggestion!

[YoshiStar]

It made it better Guysss, any last suggestions? I don't want to miss something before I upload this

The front is rated Teen while the back is rated Everyone.

The box is really lopsided at the moment. With Kirby, Pikachu, Samus and the Arwing on one side and only Link on the other side to balance it.

Idk if you're intentionally ignoring it because you dont agree, or if you didnt see it or what haha.
But I still think this, the front is really unbalanced.

[lightsamus]

Could I be really picky and point out that the Wii U doesn't support Gamecube pads so having the Gamecube pad icon on there doesn't make much sense? But otherwise, this is amazing.

[billyman31]

I really love it, but I agree with tmrd to make the front more balanced.
Perhaps you could flip Samus and put her on the left.

[HalfSwiss]

I'd fill the boxes with more characters, but increasingly more transparent.

[TheNiceGuy]

Did you make a back for the 3ds version?

[ZombieDeadpool8]

Yoshistar, I present you your next HOF
Lovely work.

Whoops! Sorry. I just didnt see your post. I kinda agree with you when I look at it. I'll be sure to do something about that.

Seriously?? I refuse to play a smash bros game with anything but a gamecube controller! But okay, ill remove it.

Here's my todo list:
- balance characters on front
- change gamecube controller image
- tweak little jagged edges, white around renders, etc.

What's with the item capsule on the front? Maybe you could add a few more items that have become iconic in the Smash Bros. universe. It would keep that capsule from being so random while helping balance out the left and right sides.
