Fan-Made EarthBound Zero Box

This is just awesome. Definitely planning on getting one, especially considering the work he put into making it. Too bad he doesn’t get any of the profit.

Glad they called it just “Earth Bound” and NOT “Earthbound Zero.”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen an actual NES game box, they didn’t hold up very well.

Is it me or does the “UND” look like “UNO”?

it’s just you Charley

hmmm this makes me wonder if the fan box for the regular sized snes earthbound box will ever be made. (with the old not used box art)

Can anybody find a picture were you can read the text on the back?

Thx, Druyu. I was just about ready to start up about how it looked like the guy put the new Nintendo Seal on there, instead of the old one. The new seal doesn’t say “of quality” anymore.

But it’s the old one, and all is good. Kudos!

Ack. More people using the art from that guide I scanned?

Hey guys, Glad there’s such an interest in these boxes. Glad I could put my skills to good use. I’m kind of new to the whole, 1 at a time boxes, usually things like this are made in large quantities, so, being 25 was so expensive, and what not, I really didn’t know what to charge, lots of labor goes into making just 1. Anyways, I thought it was reasonable for the amount of work put in. I’ve dropped the price for now. So, come and get it while they are cheap.

Priced at $18 now. check it out.

THANK YOU FOR THE LINK DRuyu, <—-saw I had cap locks on almost too late.

if I had a repro cart (that's what they are called right) I'd so get this box….. if I had a job and money to spend…

I remember watching this project’s development a while back. It really turned out very nice, though two things bother me: The fan-art used on the back (I think the official clay models would have been a better choice, and consistent with EB’s SNES boxart), and speaking of caps lock, the bottom right corner, for some weird reason, says “Shigesato ITOI.” I don’t understand why it’s like that, lol. 😛

But I can’t complain, it’s a job well done and well accepted. 🙂

Oh it also seems they lowered the price to $18.

MOTHER’s clay models look kind of creepy (at least to me), and the art that used looks good and fitting for the game, so I don’t mind. I actually think it was a better choice, since it’s some of the best art of the MOTHER cast out there that I’ve seen.

Also, it seems that some of you don’t realize that druyu is the one who made it 😛 .

I’ve been working on one of these for a few years now, project got stalled. Couldn’t find a back translation. Can’t believe some one beat me to it.
I’m a little sad.

@neonix I didn’t use the clay models because I could not find pictures of them that were high enough quality. Also, the Itoi is all capitals because that’s how it was on the Mother box http://i42.tinypic.com/xpojo3.jpg

@druyu, just curious: where did you get the art for the back of the box?

Really awesome! Thought it looked so convincing that I almost fell for it.

Hah, i can’t believe I own a CIB MOTHER and I never noticed ‘ITOI’ was caps’d like that. It’s too bad you didn’t ask someone liek me or LT to scan the box for you to use the clay models. EIther of us would have done it.

Either way, it’s really nice stuff, good job and congrats. 😀
