[Game Series] How To Make NES boxes

[@Stryder_The_Nite_Owl]

I simply print two cardstock 8.5 x 11 sheets, one for left side and front and one for right side and back. I then use double sided rape and join two together, then join to create the box. Yes, it then has two seems, but it can be done on any printer.

Why would you need a license for releasing a game on Nintendo? Or any other consoles from them? I mean if you made a movie do you need to acquire some sort of license to play it on a VCR? What about if you create something on a PC or for a PC do you need some sort of license for that? So why would you need a license to publish your game on a console? And a game that you actually made? Unless Nintendo is afraid of competition that's the only other reason they don't want that?

Great question. The way I understand it is that after the 1983 video game crash Nintendo wanted to put more restrictions on the quality of the games that were being released on their console. Before the NES the video game market was being saturated with a lot of junk which caused fatigue and confusion within consumers. We're seeing something similar to this today with indie games, market places, loot crates, pay as you play etc. To enforce this Nintendo developed their own security chip that would be embedded on their game boards. Third party companies would only have access to these chips if their licensing was approved by Nintendo. I briefly go over this in my latest Extracting Super Nintendo Graphics video - check it out if you get a chance. Thanks

In the NES era, Nintendo would do the manufacturing for all releases. Not the developers of publishers.

[@ProgrammingPeanut]

My understanding is that Nintendo manufactured the games after the software passed a series of rigorous quality tests but this was later phased away after backlash from third parties gamingstreet.com/game-developer-publisher-relationship/

The design should allow for the join to terminate at the back like the original box. Looks messy having the white paper visible from the front.

You're right creating the fold lines at the back of the box does make it look better.
