Cover style never mattered much to me, but I kind of like it

Their is now a FIFA 13 box case

I truly like the Wii U box art design. Although it looks OK, the real beauty is in each Wii U game disc and the way it plays.

Strangely enough, I actually like the light blue all around the whole box.

Three separate retailers have updated their sites to have this style of box art. (Including GameStop.)

I'd say its legit .

Im liking the blue. Not sure what the gold/yellow strip represents, but im sure they have a bunch to tell us at the september conference.

[Soul]

After seeing the new ones these really look official. But I think the yellow should be white.

It looks like Blu-ray....

I did see the fifa cover at Gamestop.

oboy.

The design stinks.

There is no way around it. And yes, the competition does have one tiny thing to gloat about.

but let's not pretend it's great, just to avoid the one criticism anyone can legitimately have of the console or it's products - because this actually doesn't relate to those - but it does relate to the message it sends. And the message it sends is "cheap toy."

Sure, what really matters is the content in the box.

But people are wired to appreciate art.

This is an example of what not to do in design school nowadays.

It dates the product quickly. It makes it look old and somewhat childish.

Even children want their stuff to look "cool."

Hopefully, it isn't final.

So much wrong with it. From the colors that are off and have nothing to do with the Wii U motif, to the style and severe roundedness of the swoop (even if they are trying to allow more box art through, their are better ways - like what the Wii does).

Nintendo needs to hire forward thinking graphic designers like the folks who put together the Wii U gamepad demo for e3. that was true beauty in design.

Lots of folks like to have their DVD, bluray, and game collections exposed as a way to enhance decor in some ways. I am pretty sure these will go in the section of the entertainment center that has doors you can close.

And that yellow (not gold)...
Nothing nice or appealing about it at all. someone took color theory and made it throw up on the page.

The graphic elements and logo are weighted nicely and placed properly, so it was made by someone who knows what they are doing. But it just looks bad.

I hope they change it.

I will have to wait and see tho, maybe this will be shown at Gamescom. or it could be a photoshop that is being spread around.

[Etkar]

That doesn't look bad! I like it!

[UPDATE] We've received word from a delightful Ubisoft PR rep, Mr. Michael Beadle, who tells us, "Why yes, the Wii U box art you sent is legit; in fact, it’s too legit to quit."

I would change the yellow line.

I like it, it is very similar to the Gamecube which brings back some nostalgia. I wouldn't say these are the best I have ever seen but online pictures don't really give you a good idea of what it will look like in my hand. I look forward to seeing more about this in the future from Nintendo.

The only problem with this update is that unfortunately, representatives from companies have been wrong in the past, I am not saying that it is fake, I'm just saying that we shouldn't consider it "truly confirmed" until Nintendo does.

I also agree that the yellow line should be changed, it is kinda cool, but something about it is just... weird...

[Auzzie Wingman]

Screw it. All my Wii U Games will be digital.

That box art looks pretty sexy

[uh20]

that colors my favorite color i hope you know, glad it made it on more than the U, in the box
the yellow streak seems too wierd though, like its more complex then it should be. the only time that line could define anything is if microsoft/sony go with a wierd futeristic box approach too

[WisdomPowerCourage]

Does the light blue outline mean that the actual color of the box is blue? Because that would be cool.

[Colinx]

I like the box art. I think its simple and the noticeable difference between the Wii and Wii U boxes is good.

[gregoryorizal]

I don't really like the blue box / case thing. I think I would like it more if they decided to make them see through like Blu-ray cases
