Following
our revelation of the PlayStation3
Box Art at the beginning of the month, Electronic Articles
is proud to continue the trend with new Box Art received by us this
very morning. UBi Soft have broken the silence by revealing to us
the design of Red Steel’s packaging.
While
there’s been no confirmation of how Wii software will be packaged,
it’s pretty safe to assume titles will arrive in standard DVD
packaging; much like the Xbox360 has stuck to this
Current-Generation tradition.
The
Wii logo remains prominently at the top of the design, while the
publisher and age classification logos remain traditionally in the
bottom-left and bottom-right corners respectively. The biggest
question hanging over the validity of this Box Art being the final
design is that of Nintendo’s Original Seal Of Quality. Having
appeared on every authorised release on every console since the
release of the NES, and also on all official merchandise, it’s
highly likely that Nintendo will continue to use the Seal, if only
to honour the Nintendo traditionalists. However, it does remain
possible that the Seal will now only appear on the back artwork, as
opposed to the front cover as in previous generations.
At
the time of going to press, there was no official comment from
Nintendo regarding this design, the placement of their Seal nor
whether it’s currently in print. With this clearly being the US packaging design – denoted by the inclusion of the ESRB rating as
opposed to either PEGI or BBFC Classification – it can only be a
matter of time before we discover the exact print of the UK release.
