Wii U Box Art Leaked?

[Spiderpig24]

Amazon may have revealed the design of the Wii U box art's a little early:

[YoshiStar]

Hey, it's actually quite nice! I was expecting it to look like the Wii's except just on the opposite side (like my template). I really like the looks of it .. not too sure about the yellow though :\ They should've gone with a white line with a shadow under it instead.

I was thinking the same thing, white with a gray/black shadow would have been much nicer and would have not taken away from any cover designs. I do like this better than the Wii template though, if anything because it's symmetrical.

I don't think it's real. It's just a recolor of the GC template. Plus, yellow isn't even part of their color scheme. It's mainly Blue and White, isn't it?

Amazon usually doesn't play around when it comes to things like this, I wouldn't doubt its legitimacy.

[Nerdysimmer]

I like it. It's reminiscent to the GameCube template, which is probably my favorite header design out of all of the systems. The yellow seems out of place though.

[TheNiceGuy]

I hope this is the real template, it's very nice. And the gamecube template is a little different, the line at the bottom goes all the way around I believe.

[YoshiStar]

You were so close, Nintendo. So close ... WHY YELLOW?

How it should've been:

[Pleiades]

I like it, but yellow doesn't even make since in relation to how they've been portraying the Wii U brand (white/blue/grey). Unless I'm missing something, it seems pretty random.

[Plornt]

I don't like the yellow line, Yoshistar's suggestion is much better. Or this:

[Higashi89]

Yoshistar's versions is infinitely better! Nintendo's version re-use the GameCube template, in a bad way.

[super-mega-hyper-sonic]

I think they are going this to separate the consoles. I mean some people still think the 3DS isn't a new console and just a new iteration of the DSi. The 3DS template is just a flip of the DS but with this it is new so it might make people think the console is new. They could have avoided this by giving it a better fucking name but whatever...

[StarMario22]

I think they look nice, I like the blue and yellow variation. It'll definitely stick out from all other games, similar how Blue-Ray stuck out.

[tmrd]

I like both the yellow and white variations of them.
And Plornt, ew, haha. I really don't like that, it looks gross! I much prefer the official. :P

[Pleiades]

It doesn't look so bad when you realize the plastic is blue, too.



I'm guessing that Wii U's marketing/branding/packaging is going to include a lot of blue and yellow.

[Throavium]

It better be or the yellow will remain nonsensical.

OHH, I didn't even think about that. That's awesome! I'm gonna make a full template now.

Yellow and blue? I don't mind.

It looks much better when the plastic case is shown as well.
Also, making a distinctly new template is great, after all the confusion with WiiU being Wii 1.5 or 2. But using the same (Exept from adding the U) spine sounds like quite a bad idea.

[Higashi89]

Am I the only one that still thinks it's an ugly template, even in a blue plastic?

But... just like the old PS3 template, maybe they'll change it after a couple of months

Warner Bros Games just comfirmed the design, although it seems to be a bit brighter.


EDIT: That's the official press-image from them. If they made a mistake, and it should be a bit darker like the former images, it looks much better.


EDIT2: Unless the darker design in the NTSC-version and the bright one is PAL. But that'd be horrible.
