Gaming Wii Sports Box?

[darkpaladinmfc]

I know Wii Sports comes in a sleeve (Like MPH Demo with the DS) but in this picture it's in a proper box:

Why is that?

I heard the European version will be in one of those DVD boxes.

BTW, my MPH demo also came in a regular DS box. Maybe it's an european thing...

 

[darkpaladinmfc]

Hope it is a European thing. I hate the little sleeve

.
EDIT: But how come that US guy has a box?

 

[jumpman17]

Are you serious? It comes in a crappy sleeve for the US? Geez, thanks for going the extra mile there for us Nintendo.

Thats is odd, because that appears to be a US ESRB rating on the front.
I know that PAL are getting a proper box and of course the Japanese did aswell.

1 - Get a custom cover on the internet
2 - Print it
3 - Buy a white DVD case
4 - Slide the custom cover on the DVD case
5 - ???
6 - Profit!

Could be true, but it looks way too real.

With MPH-first hunt the US version was a sleeve, whereas the Europe version was in a DS case (I have both

). Prolly this is the same...

my mph demo for the ds came in a nds box like a normal game?

Mine did, and all Europe based DS's should have (I think).

I think it's custom. Maybe it's just my sight, but it seems that the cover itself is a little bigger than the other ones (less white parts near it).

PAL regions get Wii Sports in a proper case (Europe/Australia), I believe Japan does too.

That case there is the printed out one, not an official case.

Yea, I have a custom Wii Sports case and it looks exactly like that. You could have easily told it was a custom if they showed the pack, which is lacking the UPC and other stuff shown at the bottom of game cases.

japan gets a proper box cause we have to buy it as an extra game. we don't get it with the system.

I downloaded the cover from The Cover Project and ordered an extra Wii disc case with my component cables from Nintendo's website a couple of weeks ago.

I touched up all of the print and redid all the lines and borders on the cover, then printed it off on high-quality glossy white paper and cut it to size. Now you can't even tell the difference between it and a real official case, even when holding them side-by-side and looking very closely. If you take the covers out of your other Wii games' cases and compare, it's the same paper (same weight, thickness, glossiness, etc). It makes a perfect full-sized case for Wii Sports. People are always asking me where I got it from.

The only thing my Wii Sports is lacking now is a full-sized instruction manual.

Do you think you can post your work here? I'm thinking of doing the same thing...I keep thinking I'm gonna scratch my precious Wii Sports disc.

 

[thegame07]
