This is the image that Maximum Games is using for their upcoming Wii U title, Jett Tailfin. Could the Wii U boxart really be this similar to the Wii boxart? I doubt it, but we'll find out next week!

To me this just looks like the company saw the Wii game cases, and just made a guess on what the Wii U's game cases will look like.

Quote from comment section of this on GoNintendo:

Yeah. GAF thinks it's fake [cos it's using the lighter blue Wii U logo].

To me this provides a very solid point.

Thoughts?

Nintendo reveal this stuff at e3.

[Joshua]

Looks exactly like the Wii cases but with that extra U. I'm sure Nintendo would think of something more distinguishable than that.

[Meelow100]

Hopefully it's fake, I first that game will most likely be a downloadable Wii U game and not retail and that's just a slightly updated Wii box and Nintendo knows that would be a stupid business decision making the Wii U box the same as the Wii but with the "U" logo

[Keviin]

Extremely doubt it. It looks CGI'd too (to me). They won't let a stupid game like this reveal boxstyles early.

[AMAC]

I don't think the box art styles will be revealed until much nearer the Wii U's release. This one looks too similar to the Wii's for me and I think Nintendo will make it a bit more different, even if there aren't any huge differences.

[Keviin]

I think it will be simple like 3DS boxes.

[Crackkat]

im pretty sure this was just made up to represent the wii u game, not actual confirmed box art. i doubt even nintendo's decided that

[Ghirahim]

....Thats way too similar to how the wii cases look.i think theyll go with something similar tho. maybe theyll have the holes in them like the 3ds cases- less plastic is always better.

i hope not, i want cooler WiiU cases



this would be much appreciated, thanks

I doubt it. It should be distinct from the Wii cases.

[MiSoRamen]

I think its just a place holder until Nintendo unveils the design.

[King_Bowser_Koopa]

Meh. I don't know. I think it would be a mistake to have the Wii U box art look so similar to the Wii box art, especially with Reggie talking about having both consoles on the market simultaneously.

That's just my own opinion.

[MiSoRamen]

If the designs are too similar it would confuse the average consumer, who does not know the difference between the Wii U and the Wii.
