I was able to download the banner and it works fine, but the icon i cannot get to work because it only has an option for "save image as" rather than a direct download. could you possibly upload in a zip file?

I'm not the original poster, but here's another custom icon and banner I put together for you. Enjoy!

yeah, there are a bunch of covers on gametdb.com! they are all custom made!

I could probably get an icon out of the custom cover art but don't know what to do about the banner, which has more of a rectangular orientation. Maybe you could load up the title screen in Dolphin set at 16:9 and take a screenshot? I do not have these games myself.

Re: Kirby's Epic Yarn: Where do you find the eshop icons and banners for reference? These no longer appear to be listed on Nintendo's website.

I really appreciate everything everybody here does, I've been putting all my wii games onto my new wii u and I would not have been able to do so many of them if not for this thread here so thank you.
That being said, I was able to find about 90% of the art for my games in here, but there are still a couple I have in my library that I can't find art for, some had other people request a few years ago but never got made. Here is my short list and I would really really appreciate it if anybody could get whichever ones of these they can and post the icon and banner pictures here for me.

The games I still am in need of are: Alice in Wonderland, Arcade Zone, Escape from Bug Island, Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Bear Gryllis Man Vs Wild, Smurfs Dance Party, Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian, SimAnimals, Up, and finally, Wild Earth African Safari.

Again I really appreciate everybody who takes the time to make these, and would love it if anybody could make any of them for me :)

I don't know how to get the original files, but they can be seen in context in this video:


The U.S. release has a different opening banner than the EU version shown in this video. I used Wii Banner Player with the official opening.bnr to grab the assets for the USA release. They're attached.

If you prefer the EU release, I can make that version as well. I'd just need you to send me the .bnr file to work with. I just realized that banners are cached by USBLoaderGX in the apps folder on either the SD card or USB drive. And here I've been doing it the hard way! I'll use the official assets for future requests assuming I have a copy of the game.
