Shawn, thanks for addressing this issue so quickly.Shawn:
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.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.
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.
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..
