Are any of our members out there artistically skilled that could possibly help me out in making some custom Famicom cart labels :question:

Im making a few reproductions and need labels for the following: Blade Buster, Titan Warriors, Bio Force Ape, and Metroid Deluxe. I need these labels to look as if they were legitimate. High Quality, official famicom and game company logos, etc. Anyone who can help will be rewarded greatly!   ;D Im hoping to see some of your artwork and label making skills!  :star:

I like making labels, I have made labels for 6 of my Famicom pirates that either had wrong labels or no labels. I always use clear packing tape over the printed label and glue it on with a craft glue stick. They tend to look quite nice.

Funny you say, I'm actually doing this at the moment for a whole bunch of carts.  Just make sure you print hi res and to the right size.
Also, rather than use the image preview I posted - please use the Photoshop file - I also have a vector file if someone wants/needs that.

The Bio Force one is great I think and that's official art.  The Metroid one is also good but it's squished unfortunately.
It also depends on how far you want to go with this.  Technically, all Nintendo releases use the same format - but that format changes in turn throughout the lifespan of the Famicom.  For example, Compare the labels of the early games like Tennis and Super Mario Bros to later games like Joy Mech Fight. 
I find it all really interesting, whcih is why I'm doing hundreds of them.  They're just not ready yet!

I just finished making a label for "Titan Warriors", It only took me a little over a 1 hour and I will upload it soon enough.

That's really great I think.  It's very compressed though - I hope it's just a web preview version :)

It's been shrunk to half-sized; so yes it's just a preview version. It's based on the arcade game.

That's a much nicer Metroid Deluxe label; nice work!

These are great guys!

@punkpolitical Could you maybe swap the text From your Titan Warriors label with the actual game text like on Uninvited Gremlins label?

I cant thank you guys enough, this is a huge help as I have absolutely no artistic skills or editing/photoshop skills.  :-

whoever can make the most labels that look high quality and official, no squashed or stretch image, etc... will receive a famicom reproduction cart of their choice!  ;D




Anybody up to giving these labels a try??

Blade Buster
Super Mario Bros. Hanshin Tigers Giabbit Hunting hack
Sun Man
War on Wheels
Rockman No Constancy Hack (in style of original famicom rockman game labels, please no super fancy rockman art)
Donkey Kong Pie Factory Hack
Super Mario Bros 2 (USA) Christmas Edition Hack (since the season is almost here!)  ;)



Thanks again guys!  ;D ;D ;D youre not just helping me out but everybody interested in making famicom repros! Keep the awesome labels coming! Even if there is a game that I didnt list but YOU would personally want a repro of it, well, post that label up!  ;D

Awesome Blade Buster label Ryo!!!!!  :D

Blade Buster graphic kicks ass Ryo...

By the way folks, something I should have mentioned - that label template will only fit a regular Nintendo cart properly.  Check the size of the cart you're printing onto and adjust accordingly.  Same for the back, which is slightly smaller.
