Samurai Shodown 2 Classic-Shock Alternative

[NeoCverA]

I received my MVS cart a week ago and it was something I said (to myself) I would not do: Double up on a game (owning an AES and MVS of the same title.

Well I did it with 2 games : Samurai Shodown and Samurai Shodown 2.

I did not want to have the exact same insert on the shelf twice so I thought about trying at making an all-new design for the MVS cart (CLASSIC-SHOCK STYLE!).

Here's my go at it: (There is still another art source I am considering for the Cover.)

For this version of Samurai Shodown 2, I included the subtitle "Haomaru in the Underworld". I noticed it in the manual and thought it would be neat to drop that in.

You've got Genjuro on there, I love it. I want that for my cart, great job!

Now that is the best SS2 insert ever! Please make it happen.

Updated the insert. Focus on Haomaru and Genjuro fightscene. AMAKUSA removed (for obvious reasons - not featured in SS2) Those bosses all look alike to me. -thanks SnairDogg for bringing it to my attention.

I'm just too in love with the original cover however,I would have enlarged the the illustration cutting off some of their body,I bascially would have zoomed in more. I love the back cover and may have to steal that layout from you in the future.
Right now I am trying to finish up this KOF 99 back cover which needed heavy editing (SIGH), once I get over that hump,I'll be moving right along with my releases.

I hear you man, I should have thought about it myself. A formula all so familiar B-Cubed! Bigger - Badder - Better.

I like it a lot. I take it you were going for an Engrish back cover?

no, tell me the mistakes and ill fix them before posting. I did notice a mistake in the punctuation in the first sentence.

I took the description straight out of the manual, i have no interest in Engrish so prease proint out teh msitaeks.

EDIT* looked through the back and corrected what I found

check this out and tell me if its cool
No ENgrish?

Now that's what I'm talking about!
I probably would have made it even larger and adjusted the perspective abit but you get what I was stating..

Well, if you wanted to be really anal, you are supposed to start a new paragraph every time there's a new speaker ("Never!"). I don't really like dialogue on a back cover at all, though. What ever happened to the cheesy, dramatic paragraphs or two?

 

[NeoCverA]

I was more concerned with spelling errors. As I mentioned earlier, the text used in the back comes directly from the AES manual and most people would never have seen this unless they own the AES cart/manual so I figured I'd drop it on the back.

Thanks for everyones feedback, replies.
