i actually have no idea why you think some of the american box art is bad.

my favourite is PAL sonic1, jap design and at least the background have colors.
Konami always had awesome box art, especially in the 16bit era. I wish I knew who their cover artist was for Contra III, Turtles in time, Sunset Riders, etc.Quote:

This thread delivers.
I actually kinda like the american version of comix zone better than the jap....looks more comic-y and less manga-y lol.
That was his point yeah, that the Japanese version looks ugly compared to the US version, a rare occasion indeed.Quote:

I think the Japanese like to randomly place English phrases on game boxes simply because they can.
The Japanese Sonic games are guilty of this 100x over. Plus they include poems.

I like the Japanese better but the US is good too, they're both not without their flaws though. For starter, what's up with the US cover's Dracula? He looks too fuzzy or something and more like a werewolf. And not to get too technical but I don't remember any enemies that have 4-6 arms like that purple thing with red eyes. I think John Morris has been hitting the steroids a little too.
Japanese version features Lecarde at the front and it makes it seem like he's the main character, which is pretty cool since he's usually the character I play as. He does look sort of androgynous though. John looks more like the character in the actual game but there's something off about him on the cover. Dracula's sort of hiding behind Elizabeth, but he's better than the wolf-man Dracula.

The Japanese one looks sort of off... Especially if that's supposed to be Eric Lecarde in the foreground -sort of that stereotypical "guy that looks like a girl" thing in anime. (though his hair is supposed to be greenish going by the in-game sprite... so if that really is who it's supposed to be that's even further off)

That cover art is awesome! The US cover has nice colors and stuff but it's like Comix Zone JP vs Comix Zone US, just vice versa.
Eric Lecarde has a hood on in the game. There's an intro and he looks the same in that except less girly, Morris looks better in the intro as well so I'm not sure why they didn't make them look a little closer to that. I like the PAL cover slightly better as it retains the same US style Castlevania logo.

It doesn't seem too hard to figure out what happened in regards to the western versions of game artwork.
From my point of view, I will attempt to reverse engineer the artwork for strider into a series of events that makes sense to me.
One day, a graphic artist who works for capcom's north american marketing division steps into his office and sees a folder laying on his desk.
Inside the folder are a few screenshots, a brief description of the game, and a note that reads:
"This game is being released here next month. You have a week to get the cover and cartridge art ready for the printer".
"And don't forget to make it look like something the kids will want to buy this time."
The artist thinks to himself "Damn, I'm behind on three projects already."
As he's looking through the folder at his meager offering of screenshots and game description, he wonders what the kids are into these days.
After a few minutes, he surmises that:
"I often see my daughter watching that show Saved By The Bell."

"Pro wrestling seem to be popular with kids as well."

A week passes and the artist delivers this to the printer:

Hahaha. :D
I know you're into little girls and such so you'll probably disagree with me, but the EU cover art beats both of them easily. Hell, it almost makes it seem like a good game:Quote:

YAY I WAS HOPING SOMEONE MADE A THREAD OF BOX ART!,
How the hell do you guys not like the artwork for arrow flash!? I enjoy the US cover out of all 3 plus that women in the pal version should have had her head exploded from the lack of oxygen.
I'm also surprise after reading this thread that no one brought up the cover of shadow dancer,
US
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images...2758_front.jpg
JAPAN
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images...2194_front.jpg
US cover looks so boring compare to the japan one
Ehh yeah, Shadow Dancer's been brought up on like page 4 already. But yeah, the jap cover is definitely better.
I'm not actually sure why they changed that one. It must've been something like: ninjas alone are way too japanese, so let's butcher the cover by putting a poorly drawn ninja in an urban setting and have him slice up a black dude robbing an elderly woman.
...Just should've kept it the way it was.
Ninjas were pretty cool in the 1980's, you could have sold a game based on the word "ninja" alone.
Exactly. It needn't be changed.
The Japanese cover and manual of Virtua Racing looks pretty cool.

Same goes for Alien Storm.

That does look kinda cool. Definitely better than we got.
so anyone here rather buy some japan games for there box cover? cause aline storm just makes want to get it for that art.
