Wii Box Art
The box art for Zelda is especially nice, and Red Steel and Metal Slug Anthology look pretty spiffy too. I can't put my finger on it, but the covers of these games don't look nearly as cluttered as they did on GC.

Is Nintendo mandating hand-drawn boxart? If so, good call!

I'm a big fan of the Wii top bar. It's nice to get away from stuff like '(X) - Only on Xbox - Xbox'
Tony Hawk's cover may be the ugliest thing I've ever seen.
Zelda's boxart has gotten even more gorgeous.
I liked Super Monkey Ball's cover until I tried to think about why AiAi is holding a wiimote. Seriously. It makes no sense.

I like the Wii header thingy, and the lack of an ugly "ONLY FOR" slapped on them this time round (why do GBA boxes have this? Of course it's not going to play on Atari Lynx).IGN's missing some so far though.

At least for the games I do care about, the box art is all mostly pretty good. Let's hope the good games continue to have decent effort put into their box art.

I think it's really weird that the Tony Hawk game doesn't have a picture of Tony Hawk on it. It's like the modern equivalent of when John Madden was no longer on the cover of his game.
So are these DVD cases again?

"So are these DVD cases again? "
Who knows, although I imagine it's probably a good chance that they will be the regular Amaray cases as it would likely be cheaper to go that route.

I was GOING to say that "They should actually go for the DVD cases that are half as wide, so that they could say that the Wii is as big a six DVD cases!" until I realized that that's not actually a better statement. >_<
If they're the same as DVD cases, then Nintendo wouldn't need to sell replacements on their web site. I remember buying one GameCube game case and one DS game case for the Metroid Prime 2: Echoes demo disc and the Metroid Prime Hunters: First Hunt demo card respectively, but now it logically seems like any DVD case will do.

Actually, that is supposed to be Tony Hawk. Just shows how bad the box art really is. =p And seems IGN updated today with a whole heap more.

Indeed, this is true. Lolita was an adult-like child, the Pangya girls are child-like adults...

I was thinking of that the other day. Hidden Wii controllers on every box would be cool. Even if not subliminal, it'd be a neat thing to look for (like the Playboy bunny icon on nearly every Playboy magazine cover).
To me, though, the Excite Truck looks like it's smiling. o_0

Oh, Elebits is there too. As usual, the art is looking much more interesting than the game.
