    Default Know any sites with Japanese game cover art or ad scans?

    I'm looking for a bunch of sites that have Japanese game cover art, or ad / handbill / flyer ads, particularly from the NES/GB/SNES era. I'm working on a new layout for my site and figured I'd add some blog header images. So far I've got three for a few of the games I've translated, but my Google searches don't turn up as much stuff as I'd like.

    Does anyone know any sites where I could find these? Just... don't mention GameFAQs, most of the stuff uploaded there is very low quality.

    Have you tried:

    The scans are decent enough resolution, but have watermarks. It might be good enough for your purposes, though.

    I wish. sometimes you can find specific ones randomly via google images, but far as i know there is no effort to scan and share this kind of thing, sadly.

    The scans there are too small. Gah.

    I have found a few sites, though!

    http://gamedic.jpn.org/museum/tirasi/genre.htm
    Has lots of flyers and ads from the Famicom up to the PS3!

    http://famimani.oiran.org/
    Has cart, box, and manual cover scans for many games. (Click on the Start button to enter.) Games with a star next to their names have scans.

    http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/gamesmasa
    This place seems to have lots of scans (at low to medium resolution). I haven't dug deep into this yet but they have scans from the NES, TG16 and Genesis eras.

    More handbill scans! Separated by year (top menu) or by company (right menu).
