Worked hard on this one. I'd be lying if I didn't say it was really inspired by both my E3 adrenaline and blacktagmedia. Seeing his amazingness literally inspired me to make a fantastic box, and his use of Japanese reminded me of the first box that I got into the HoF: Subspace Emmisary. And of course, that was in japanese!
I also knew people would just put DK and Diddy renders on a jungle background with a logo, so I decided to do something different. It's thirdly inspired by the sunset level in DKCR.
Thanks to all who helped me in my WIP thread btw!
#20, looks a bit like some copy/paste from amazon.co.jp, but I am too lazy to check that out now.
@ box:very well done, but:
- the 3d is somewhat off (packages and cd are standing on the same level/axis, yet the cd is supposed to be behind the front and before the back. to make it look right the cd should get some perspective or go the easy way and make the front bigger)
- nintendos logo is no longer red (for months)
- back of a real japanese package looks diffrent
- some of the text is hard to read, because it is blending too much into the background
- some quality issues
Looks cool although it's weird how it's set on the background. At any rate, I can't wait for this game myself. Dounkey Kong Country on SNES was the shit, this will be too.
#21 It's definitely not a copy paste job, all of the things on there are edited by me except the screens and borders and logos. I even played around with the renders to get the lighting just right.
I love your work wasa-bi, do you mind telling me what your home page is since you said your boxart was on there?
#22 Really? The way I saw the old SNES series box, there was a lot of green and boats, but the the boxes and my box share the same old yellowish feel a little.
#27, this isn't necessarily "japanese style".
I actually think you should've made it English, and that subtitle under the logo sort of bugs me. The banana is kinda cool but it's distracting and I think you should get rid of it. The back is a bit unoriginal too, but overall, I'm really digging this.
Congrats on the HoF, nicely done. The front looks lovely, I like the color choices, almost calming ya know? Back layout is kind of generic, but the overall package looks great.
Really awesome job man, it looks great. This was my favorite part of the trailer, and it works amazing as a box.

I love the front, but the back is kind of meh. It's very boring, the layout is unoriginal and the text just looks blehk to me.

#13, Perhaps because you can't read Japanese?
I'll fave it.

This is really great. I love the color scheme, and the way you handled the background.

Wicked man, really good work. You've incorporated the "DK" feel really well here.

Amazing work.
Where do you go to get stuff translated? (No need to give away exact sources, but is it like a website, friend?)
Also, BANANA, that made me happy :)

#19 really? Fair enough then, it just remind me of the old SNES series.

#19, I meant the layout of the screenshots and text, not the design itself.

Nice job here. I am guessing that this was a new game announced at E3?
