Matrimelee insert preview (color)

Shawn:

Cole:
I dunno, the meg count placement just annoys the hell out of me. I don't really mind the battle action game thing too much, but leaving it in it looked crowded.

Cole, thanks for your suggestions. I agree that your alterations provide a more uniform look with the SNK era inserts, but this current layout really does serve a purpose.

The red SUN logo looks better on a black background and gives the appearance of a deeper red. Plus, the “Battle Action Game” label helps this title match with the rest of the Playmore releases, which all displayed a genre label on the spine. In fact, if you compare to the previous post SNK releases, Playmore maintains a consistent layout with Matrimelee by simply replacing the screenshot with the meg count. In doing so, all of the Playmore home releases will still line up appropriately.

I suppose it's a matter of preference. We could always start another poll to see what the majority of the fans prefer.

Shawn, thanks for addressing this issue so quickly.

I agree that the SUN logo looks MUCH better on a black background, that was merely a crude mock up of how the insert could look better/more uniform with a minimal amount of effort.

While the 'battle action game' label does help it look more uniform with the post SNK releases I agree.. But I've said it many times I think the recent inserts should be redone. I know that this maintains the Playmore design, but we have like 100 SNK releases and 4-5 Playmore.. I think it comes down to 'strength in numbers' in this case.

Yes it is a matter of preference.. In 10 years will we display our Playmore era english Neo games on a different shelf because they look different or will they mix in nicely with all the rest? Hmmmm....

I also saw the poll which has been put up I will post there in a minute..

Now that it's in full color, that insert looks f'ing SWEET. Makes me ALMOST wish I bought NGH carts instead of MVS... almost.

 

[Tiptonium]

Very nice indeed!

 

[Shito]

Murata Range's art is already worth the whole cart period!

Plus, the game seems really interesting!

This release is surely not to be missed. drool_2

 

[ocsmod]

Really beautifull insert! drool_2
That's the kind of things that I miss most from my AES-collecting times: the AES cases and inserts are freaking sweet!
Anyway, the flyers and marquees of the MVS kit will be great too for sure.

 

[leepantalone]

I must own this game.

I guess I will need to pre-order soon.

 

[Mokum]

OMG!1!!!!1 eek!

Best insert ever! Or one of the best ones wink

Shawn, you have a buyer here!

 

[Snooptalian]

I agree. The insert looks great. I'm definatly gonna get my pre-order in soon. Now if we could just find out how many US carts are gonna be made?

 

[Loopz]

The insert looks very nice, but as a gamer first and foremost, I want to give this sucker a run before I dump $300+. If it plays a lot like RotD it's probably not for me.

 

[Hot Chocolate]

It's cool, a little to plain for my tastes though

 

[chimpmeister]

FANTASTIC insert, and its nice to FINALLY see the meg count back!! I'll be picking this cart up for sure, and I REALLY hope that we see SSV and MS5 (home carts) in the near future as well!! Thanks a lot for the early preview!

 

[BryLmoo]

Score one for playmore.

Beautiful insert.

THE MEG COUNT RETURNS!

 

[Lastblade]

[honeyman]

Nice, nice, bright and nice loco ! Good job, good-good job make_fac !

 

[KibagamiGenjuro]

It looks really good actually, i'm very impressed. Does anyone have a pic of the the Jap version? Is it pretty much the same?

 

[garou_d]

[TriShield]

Very nice.
