About This File

This is a big one folks! Nintendo Wii 2.5D front box art "Hyperreal" set. All regions. Aiming for a complete set. 1913 images. Due to the size, I have zipped each letter of the alphabet separately. Any errors or omissions, please let me know and I will rectify. I'll likely update this set soon once RVZ dats are available. See the screenshots for examples.

Why these images?

Short of proper 3D model box support in Launchbox, I find that "2.5D" is often the best box image type. 3D boxes can be good though the angle that they tend to be at makes the cover art a bit less clear, and all the spines can give an overall cluttered appearance which can be distracting from the artwork. The standard scraped box-front images tend to just look like jpg computer images and not the actual physical product. By 2.5D I mean that the image is of the actual front artwork, within the original box (not a "clean" reconstruction) and facing head on.

This set is created using a photo-realistic Nintendo Wii hard plastic case template (not a vector model), complete with the plastic cover overlay, within which the artwork sleeve is inserted. There is some subtle lighting and shadow effect. I'm aiming to create the most realistic sets out there, and am open to any feedback or suggestions.

PS Check my other 2.5D sets. I'm planning to do some more; any platform requests, let me know. Was going to attempt NES next.

This is amazing! These are the type of boxes I use and love on my LaunchBox.

Do you have an all region pack for the GameCube? I've only seen them only for North America titles.

I haven't done Gamecube yet, but will add it to the list!

I used your boxes, they look great, thanks.

I had some missing though but mainly WiiWare games so I created some myself, 85 boxes. I will attach them here in case you would like to use them.

Thanks a lot @DeadVoivod. I haven't yet done WiiWare, but it is on the list. I will add yours when I can. I've been looking more into the 3D model boxes, since that feature was implemented in LB.

Hey sorry to bother, Im a big fan of your hyperreal series and am trying to incorporate it into my setup. I have a few missing wii games from the pack sticking out though and was wondering if you had a template available to get these last few games to match. Hope youre doing well
