    Got a whole bunch of art and templates here on this thread if you want: http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=1&catid=7&threadid=53870 Feel free to use any labels there, or PM me for custom art. Take note that I don't make 1:1 copies of labels that are already out in retail--all of it is custom only.



    As far as materials, all you need is plain white Avery sticker paper or regular paper with rubber cement for the labels; and photo laminate or super extra extra wide clear scotch tape to protect them. You can get all this stuff at your local office supply store.



    For printing, any printer would do, but the better the printer, the better the image of course. When you do print, print out some test labels on regular paper so you don't waste sticker paper trying to get the size right.



    Hope this all helps, good luck and welcome to NA!!!

    If you need help with anything to do with reproductions, feel free to contact me. I can probably get you linked with a lot of people who make them or do the art so that you can get creative and work on the parts you want to work on. The only thing we discourage is blatant copies of released games. So let me know if you have any questions and if you want to start selling to the public, let me know so I can add you to the list of repro makers.

    thanks very much for the responses it all helps and trust me i have NO intention on making anygames that were already released in the U.S. i wouldnt want someone to get ripped off and i certaintly wouldnt want that to happen to me. I just think its a cool little sub hobby of my current hobby and would like to add repros to my collection, i should be getting all the materials to get started sometime in the following two weeks (when ever i get my tax return) so I will keep you all posted and any other suggestions or input anyone has is much appreciated

    ^ Awesome, man! Good luck on the repro-ing, I'll like to see what you come up with! If you need templates for stuff other than NES, let me know too.
