Request a Switch Spine Design
Tell the archive which original Nintendo Switch spine collection you would like to see next. Public requests turn collector demand into a transparent production queue and help each new batch reflect real shelves rather than a generic release list.
Public requests & voting
Browse requests from other collectors. If your game is already listed, vote with a thumbs-up reaction instead of creating a duplicate.
Browse and vote on GitHubA free GitHub account is required so every request and vote remains public, verifiable, and attached to one shared queue.
How requests shape the archive
SwitchSpines is built around printable, original designs for people who want a shelf that is easier to browse and more personal than a wall of identical red case spines. A request is a signal that a game deserves a distinctive visual direction: a calm palette for a farming game, a bold recognizable symbol for an action title, or a warm vintage treatment for a classic RPG. Requests live publicly on GitHub so collectors can see when an idea was suggested, discuss it, and vote with reactions.
Search the full spine archive and existing public requests before adding a title. There may already be a collection waiting for you, with five printable SVG variations to choose from. If the game is already requested, add a thumbs-up reaction rather than opening a duplicate. This gives every title a real, shared vote count instead of storing isolated votes on one browser or device.
Requests are prompts, not permission to copy cover art. Every SwitchSpines design uses original artwork, bold shelf-readable symbols, and a print-first layout that evokes a game's identity without simply reproducing commercial packaging. That approach makes the archive practical to print and safer to share. For a design you need immediately, the custom spine generator lets you make a clean text-and-color version in minutes.
Make a useful request
Include the exact game title and, if helpful, a brief note about the feeling you want. “Dark blue cosmic JRPG” or “soft pastel farming shelf” is more useful than a long plot description. A recognizable object, emblem, creature shape, or visual mood can give a contributor a productive starting point. Do not upload copyrighted cover art as a shortcut.
Request history and votes are public so the production order can become more accountable as the community grows. A highly requested title is not an automatic promise, but it is a much stronger signal than a private message. Downloads, print-queue use, and community reactions together will guide which games and design directions receive attention next.
