The RetroBook Project: Phase I

[vhal_x]

I'd love these! I have no idea on what games to start with, but try to get as many done as possible

I assume these will be almost like the French 3DS steels? xx

[Evilhawk]

I woulb be interested aswell, as for the first steelbook. my suggestion would be Super Mario Bros, seeming as it is among the first NA nes games.

[StyX]

Would totally be interested in these steelbooks!
Would also like to see some steelbooks for PS1 RPGs like Final Fantasy VIII,IX, Jade Cocoon, Vandal Hearts 2 etc. Would be the best thing ever! But that will probably always be a dream

Please make them blu ray sized as everything will become G2 over the next few years. Also are you taking suggestions for games on consoles other than NES? I think this is a great idea.

[vhal_x]

Everything won't necessarily become BluRay sized. If Wii and Xbox games still come in G1 sized packaging, then I don't see the end of G1 happening anytime soon.

Especially as Sony owns the copyright of G2 sized amaray cases do they not? (I think I read that somewhere) so Nintendo and Microsoft couldn't use G2 packaging anyway xx

[NaughtyDogJames]

Yeah but the Wii and Xbox use DVD whereas wii u and the next xbox will use blu ray. I doubt Sony own the rights to G2 sized amarays as Hd DVDs were G2. I see your point though.

[Kelekin]

The only reason I was thinking to go G1-sized was because it would allow room for someone to put a game manual inside. However, I don't see this as a big issue, and I might just go G2-sized. I just happen to personally be a bigger fan of G1 but it seems a lot of people quite like G2 now.

If the project goes well, it would be expanding into SNES, N64, PS1, etc. Anything that is an older generation.

I'd be interested. Metroid would probably be my first choice.

[vhal_x]

Where does it say Wii U and next Xbox will be G2? I'd have thought they'd stay G1

I'd have preferred these G1 aswell (like so you could maybe fit the games inside, if they have slots for them inside? As NES games might not fit in G2, comfortably would they?, but G2 doesn't bother me either way xx

[Kelekin]

An NES game will fit into a G2, I brought some samples to the meeting. I think it looks a bit nicer in a G1. The purpose is that the games would go into the Steelbooks as a new way to display some of your old games.

Until I know whether or not I can do a lower qty order with the G1 jumbo, I am only aware that I can likely do a lower qty order with the G2 jumbo.
