Previously I said I was aiming for a more 'Region-Neutral' look that would not clash with the aesthetics of the Wii from any region.
While I would still aim for that ideal, especially if there would be efforts to bring those games to regions they were never released in ala fan-translation patches, there are some games where their logo has the same design despite being released in different regions.
Take a quick look below at the Shadow the Hedgehog covers that were made.
It is basically the same in all regions except the Japanese release where it has the title spelled out in its language beneath 'Shadow'.
Now here are the wallpapers I found for the game that can be used as a custom game loader. From right to left: USA, Europe, Japan
They all have the same render as the box art and the logo. I don't know if it's possible to load custom game loaders by the region they were released in, but it would be ideal if modifying them to be more region-neutral is too difficult. However not every game can be Shadow the Hedgehog, so here's are a few things about the project.
1. If modifying the wallpapers to be more region-neutral is too difficult a task, what should take the spot as custom game loader? Something as close to the box art as possible like Zelda: Wind Waker, Mario Party 6, and Animal Crossing in the previous page?
2. If a game was only released in one region like Japan and it has official wallpapers made of it, should it get included in the pack or should it only load the default image?
3. Using the Shadow example above, would you use the Japanese wallpaper if the logo design is very minor in its change?
4. It is doable to have a custom game loader where it has the official wallpaper and loading bar to go with it, but what would be considered a good fit if the game has multiple wallpapers? Refer to the static loader for Soul Calibur II and the alternate loading bar screen with the static image. (Admittly not planning on doing a set with loading bars but it nonetheless should have discussion.)
I'll get to testing my custom loader mods soon, thanks for adding them
@send0r (I forgot to remove the Japanese Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban wallpaper from the pack, I have a more fitting region-neutral wallpaper here.)
