This is definately one of those inserts that I wish someone would be kind enough to just scan their US AES version or get a copy to Big Bear or even Me......there is virtually NO good quality scans/artwork out there that I could find. Believe it or not, I contacted Hudson Soft for some artwork (lol). What the hell right? Got nothin to lose.

anyway this is what I have thus far. I need your help with character names. Take a look at the RED CIRCLES on the back. I need the names for those characters.

the red circles are only there to highlight the characters i need the names of.

I attempted to purchase the game but lost out. It was a half hearted attempt at winning it because I've never been in love with the front cover.

If I/when i create one,I will be using the traditional 4 screen shots and text.
You've done an excellent job with what you have to work with though.

Here is the only picture I have found : (could be usefull for the game title...)



The only other I have is a (not so good) scan of the Japanese AES, you seems to have it, seeing your WIP insert picture :)

Is the artwork really that poor??
I may make one but it will be a standard one basically with the front cover,the 4 screenshots and the text under it.
Man,I have a lot of unfinished stuff on my clipboard....
It will get created eventually JUSST LIKE Metal Slug X did....Just like Real Bout Fatal Fury made it... There will be plenty more coming from my end.
I will have like three going up overnight.
Images for games like this one take a lil' time for to do like that Puzzle De pon.
I pulled my Samurai Shodown V back because it neded to be placed in the final template and I was'nt quite satisfiesd with the rear cover..so I'm working on that too.

Love the front, but the back looks too "collagey" to me.

yeah its based off the japanese insert (if you look at the first post, that is directly from the Japanese insert).

I think I may end up doing a FULL-CLASSIC on this one with the 4 screenshots as Big Bear mentioned he would do. Although I may include the character images at the bottom just more alligned or something.

TRANSLATOR NEEDED!:
If anyone can translate this or knows anyone that may be able to, please pass it along and try to get it done. Im seeking this for the Back of the insert. (this is from the NEO-CD version.

Somebody give this man a cigar...
That 's the PCE front cover I was planning on using because I really don't care for the Neo Geo one....
Yeah. I'm not too crazy about the rear cover myself...I think it's the face that I really don't care for. :D
congrats,very nice..

Good :)

Someone scanned the MVS kit ? Do you have also a scan of the sticker ? (for the special attacks of each character...it is very usefull...it is hard to find sticker that can be printed correctly enough to be able to read it for a lto of games : see my other post without any reply :( )

I prefer the 2nd version, I would only make the box red line a little bit thicker. A bit more 'organized' back (with the portraits in line, maybe...) would be great. I liked your idea, but it looks a little bit strange, with that bg.

And put the Hudson Soft logo anywhere... we all love Hudson :)

thanks for the 2nd translation. Here's an update with some of my text put in based off the two translations that were given. (there is a poll going on to decide what will end up on this insert's back).

here is a revision

Whatever the final Back Title (In Red) ends up being, Im thinking of going with Italics.......

This second revision looks terrific, NeoC. Great job - for the 73rd time. :D


P.S. I just got my consolized 4-slot in the mail today, so I'll be headed to Kinko's soon so I can pimp out my shock boxes with your inserts!

The revision is the best looking so far. But knowing how you like to tinker with your inserts you will have a better one tomarrow.

Sorry, but I just don't like the back. It looks like too much has been shoved together. It's kind of a weird layout idea, but I thought maybe you could do something like this:

Obviously, that's pretty rough and you would need to line up the text differently, but I think that an overall layout like this would make things less cluttered and easier on the eyes.

Done!

That's it, NeoC! Congrats!

PS: How about justify the back text?

Whats it? Are you refering to Neon Sonics suggestion?

Neon Sonic: I see what your saying, I think ill do something like what you suggested but keep the white text on the bottom and shift your layout up. I might try adding some angle to the side panels (coming towards the screenshots).

I'll play with it, thanks guys.

No, I'm talking about putting the text aligned in a way that the left and right edges of the text are aligned, just like in documents - instead of putting it aligned to the left like you done.

I am wondering one thing suddenly...

All the MVS insert, on the NEOGEO logo, it is written "Advanced Entertanment Systeme" (AES) ....

Why not writing instead Multi Video System ?
As it is insert for ... MVS ;)

I ALWAYS thought that... :annoyed:

That's why I prefer japanese style inserts - they even can be done with that MVS logo under the japanese black/blue/yellow logo ;)

BB and the rest of the guys prefer their inserts looking like classic AES.
