Note: those are currently the only official DS covers on the site then it features Super Mario 64 DS and Yoshi Touch and Go alternative boxarts.

there's also this site:

EDIT: I wont post them though because they are too big and there's no thumbnails on the site to use as a link, also the site doesn't allow direct linking from other sites.

ooh, i rly like mario and luigi box art. It looks cool, And metroid prime pinball, I am a tad dissapointed with mario kart but its only a box, I think lost in blue could be a bit better but its still not bad.

Surely the Mario Kart boxart will change before release... :hmm:

The Princess Peach game box art:

Mario and Luigi looks fantastic! I hope that it actually does get realesed before Xmas. Nintendo seem to be saying stuff or giving new screens of games at the moment so they'll hopefully announce somehitng about it.

And Peach looks hawt.

Yeah, I was hoping we'd see Mario and Luigi 2 before Christmas, in America at least but nintendo have been really quiet on it. Its likely it won't come out till the beginning of next year, but if that means they're are using more time to make it a better game then so be it :hehe:
Same goes for Metroid Hunters and Twilight Princess.

[Razz]

i dont like the MK boxart. its too bland.

[skarmachild]

I like the new box-art. Makes a change, its going for the F1 look.

Anyway, the box says "Game experience may change when playing online".

What does that mean? Could there be chat rooms? I've emailed Nintendo about it.

[Colin]

Anyway, the box says "Game experience may change when playing online".

What does that mean? Could there be chat rooms? I've emailed Nintendo about it.

Every online game displays a messege like that on the back of the game case.

Check any online PS2 game for example and you'll see it on the back. It's just a precaution I think to show that there's a difference in gameplay from online and off, and they may have put it on there to show they are not responsible for any user being disruptive or causing a problems for others........in other words so they can't be blamed for it.

[monkeyDluffy]

it also means that problems with lagging and generally any problems caused by the internet are not the fault of nintendo, so people can't moan cause they've been warned!

[|Laguna|]

Do companys ever show off the back of boxes before the release as I'd be interested to see what MK:DS will be. Hoepfully good as this if this sparks an interest can really sell the game to the casual gamer.

The final MK DS boxart rocks. Is it just me or is everything on it a bit closer? Its looks good like that.

The Lost Magic box art is really stylish though.
