I have a question about the boxart of Pal regions GBA and Wii games.

Are the spines of Pal GBA games like the NTSC counterparts with colorful artwork along the spine?

What about the Pal Wii games, is the spine also in color like the ones of the NTSC Wii games?

If not too much to ask, can someone show me pictures of Pal GBA and Wii spines of game boxes?

Many thanks!

Here's an old photo of the spines of my Wii games:

As you can see, they're not as colorful as the US equivalents. For some reason Nintendo Europe seem to use a single font for most game titles instead of artwork. I'm afraid I only have one boxed GBA game and I don't have a photo of it.

I've got *a* 'PAL' DS game and it looks just like the Wii box art so I'm guessing they copied the DS layout over to the Wii games to keep them all uniform with this gen's releases.

No UK DS games though. But I might know where a few pics are. /me goes off to look

I am sorry if I misguided anyone, but I am actually looking for Pal Gameboy Advance spines boxart and NOT DS games. I want to know if they are the same as the NTSC ones, with color and sometimes 'wrapped around' art, continuing picture from the front of the box artwork. Many thanks.

No you didn't give me the wrong impression, I just inadvertantly typed DS in that last line of my previous post instead of GBA. I was just relating that the DS spines looking EXACTLY like those Wii spines.

I've found pics of bunches of PAL GBA games, but none of them were showing the spines. I'll keep looking for some peoples collections.

I've got quite a few PAL GBA titles here (one of the few things I haven't imported) but as the boxes have got four "small" edges, which one are you after? If you look at the front artwork, do you want the top flap, bottom flap, left edge or right edge?

If you look at the front artwork, I want the left edge. If you can post me some pictures, I'll be forever grateful. Thank you!

I don't understand your question, what do you mean by how it affects the games?

Actually I was able to answer my own question. I finally found some PAL games at my local gamestore.

The spine has no colorful artwork or artwork that continues from the frontcover like their NTSC counterparts. There is a white sigh on both sides with black writings, sort of like a warning signs, that talks abouts removing the packaging or sth, didn't read it carefully.
