What If Legendary Snes Games Got The Criterion Collection Overhaul?

8/31/2011

Gamepro posted an awesome “What if” gallery of legendary Snes games turned criterion collection. Not only does it include artsy criterion style cover art but also imagines what each entry would include as supplements. I’ve included three pictures from their site below. Take a gander.

The complete line up includes:

Super Star Wars Trilogy
Super Mario Kart
Sim City
Street fighter II
Actraiser
Donkey Kong Country
Star Fox
Desert strike
Chrono Trigger

I’d readily shell out way more then I can afford for these. Lovin the Chrono trigger, but this collection needs a little more squaresoft. What about Final Fantasy IV (2) and VI (3)? Secret of evermore or secret of mana? It’s not square, but wouldn’t zombies ate my neighbours be awesome too?

What other games might be sweet to see done up as criterion? Does anyone else feel like some old school gaming about now?

Follow the links below to the Gamepro site that includes the other cover art and all the supplements!

What exactly is criterion?

The “Criterion Collection” my friend, is a video distribution company “dedicated to gathering the greatest films from around the world and publishing them in editions of the highest technical quality, with supplemental features that enhance the appreciation of the art of film.”.

Their website is www.criterion.com

They were founded in 1984. Since then, they have been pursuing producing the highest quality format, presentation and experience for movie appreciation. It means getting superior picture, sound, all the extras, including case inserts.

You can tell a copy of a movie is a criterion collection piece by the “c” on the upper part of the DVD or blu ray (it’s also on the game designs above). As well, they usually come up with unique and artsy cover art. They generally have a booklet insert within the DVD of Blu ray with things like essays about the movie in them.

Their website is just as expansive, encouraging love for movies. They are worth checking out. The only draw back is that their pieces are pretty damn expensive. Usually though, you get what you pay for with them – and what you get is awesome quality.
