There are so many great entries, I wonder if some of the designers frequent these boards?

These are my top 3:

Makes me wish all these were actual games.

Heh, wouldn't it be cool if Nintendo realized that there is such a big collectors market for retrogaming that they decided to just straight up make new games for Famicom.  Sure you have all the Virtual Console thing going on, but one can wish.

Here's five that I like:



For some reason, I am drawn to the designs that start with a black background and use only one or two colors.  They invoke a bit of mystery.



Another black label design.  The starkness and geometric shapes remind me a lot of the "Art Style" series of games.  Also, there is a cat.



This one drew a personal memory up to the surface.  One of the first 3.5" floppy disks that I ever used had a label like this, where I wrote nearly every filename on the label with a blue ballpoint pen.  Kind of a trip to see something similar on a different medium, let alone a Famicom cart.



I'm a sucker for Famicom carts with anime artwork on them.  Famicase has lots of carts with anime artwork, but only a few of them stick with an 80s/90s aesthetic.  I think that this one nails it, though.  This looks like an actual Famicom-era cartridge, and I like that.



Another anime cartridge. This one is less believable, but I think it still fits a 90s aesthetic.  It has a cute girl on it, but it doesn't venture into the "moe" zone like some of the other carts.
