So sexy. Love the huge 'Wii' logo. I like the fact that packaging is so....confindent. It screams 'you know you want me' in the same way that Apple packaging does.
Also glad that they didn't put a picture of WiiSports on the cover. Though I'm a bit mixed about the heavy use of baby blue.
Now if we could only get some game boxart....

It's white and elegant and sleek.
They'd have to chrome it up to make it look silly down the line.

Anyhow, nice looking box. I wonder if it's got a screenshot/game rollcall on the back.

Looks a lot like the box my Mac Mini came in.

I suspect we'll either get game shots or art. I wouldn't expect any loopy Miyamoto quotes this time around, though...

Sleek doesn't grow old, though.
I'm still a big fan of faux wood panelling on game consoles.

Then we can make bets over which of those games end up on a competing console or cancelled outright!

Unless they have something like that which we haven't seen yet.

How about "Super Smash Brothers, both Zelda versions, and Metroid Prime 3 for launch!" in its place.

Oh man, that quote alone (and maybe Metroid Prime and Wind Waker) sold me on the GameCube. It was like, YES. I want to open every door in the world.

Boxart
Apparently this is what we will be stacking in our dvd towers. I have no complaints. I just assume that the monkeyball one isnt finished because i dont see any nintendo logo on it anywhere.

I like it. Differentiates itself nicely from the competition. I kind of figured either every game would say 'only for', or none of them would. Kind of glad they went the latter route, makes it that much cleaner.
