Best SNES song
Fight me
Elijah Turner
that's good
Gavin Young
whoa look at this beautiful box art
Wyatt Evans
let's ruin our art for the second game by putting two of the dumbest character designs in JRPG history on it lmao
Michael Martinez
Joshua Bennett
BASED
Cooper Hernandez
There're still some decent boxarts.
I'm fond of this one, reminds me of The Best Within cover.
Gavin Carter
>that
>beautiful
Landon Morgan
I haven't seen box art as good as Noriyoshi Ourai's in ages.
Brandon Ross
it is - fuck your animu trash
Joshua Nguyen
ironic weeb cringe
Benjamin Baker
Yea Forums is anime
Angel Reyes
this is 4channel buddy
Joseph Lee
4channel is also anime
Liam Morales
nah it's not 2006 anymore
Parker Perez
my beef here is that Dune seems a lot more important than he actually is.
Parker Bennett
Your cover is shallow and more animelike
Andrew Torres
lmao fuck off you dumb nostalgiafaggot
Dylan Mitchell
>boxart is only good when it's anime
Noah Moore
That's pretty good, strong xenoblade vibes. Nice game too, plot is fucking crazy.
Lucas Hernandez
nope, sorry neeger
Angel Adams
Kino is such a retarded phrase I'm so sick of this convoluted method of jamming whatever the fuck you feel like into a vague adjective and just shitting it out
Jeremiah Morgan
ludo
Isaac Baker
Grayson Bennett
If you don't like Terranigma, you have no fucking soul.
Nolan Walker
All art ITT so far has been posted for great games too. It's great.
Asher Ward
>butthurt xenocringe
they can ruin absolutely any kind of thread, amazing
Owen Moore
Chase Rivera
At least they covered Pyra's stupid pants.
Bentley Reyes
Nah man. Light Side Field is better.
Jaxson Young
It seems like it.
Brayden Scott
There’s some good stuff
Luis Fisher
i like the game but the game kinda forcing you to grind is pretty dumb
Hudson Rivera
Japs can still make decent to gorgeous box art
the westerners, on the other hand.
Ayden Bailey
Shame Wasteland 2 was such a pile of unfinished shit
Nathaniel Rodriguez
There's just one part where it's necessary, which is Bloody Mary.
Jacob White
Kino means movie theater you fucking underage faggot. Go choke on a tide pod, you retarded piece of shit.
Jason Torres
West ALWAYS gets trash covers..
Benjamin Robinson
This is one of the best covers in video game history, prove me wrong
Sebastian Ross
>he doesn't know the kino slang
how new r u?
Jeremiah Nelson
The plot is actual KINO, like were the devs smoking PCP when they brewed it up? Either way thanks I guess
Robert Baker
moar like get gud haha
Jose Fisher
Sorta. Illusion of Gaia (their previous game) is one of the weirdest RPGs you could think of. It goes bonkers to the point I would say that PCP is not the only thing they were on.
Joseph Parker
Jeremiah Butler
Not all the time.
Jason Johnson
after 3D graphic looks ok enough they always slap a bunch of rendered characters on the cover and call it a day
Asher Butler
>i got the reversible cover
feels good man
Justin Carter
Axoim Verge has nice cover art.
Cameron White
>the doppelganger is right behind him
huh never noticed, that's neat
Cooper Perez
Japan using based Yoshida art
The west using uhhh??????
(I love yoshida I just started bravely default yesterday)
Justin Carter
>Illusion of Gaia
Wow sounds like a (more?) coked up earthbound
Justin Cook
It is, definitely. And I played a fuckload of weird games. There's shit that will make you laugh from how absurd it is.
Aaron Kelly
I never understood that game, it's probably the only RPG I never replayed.
Anthony Perry
both are fucking lame who the fuck are you kidding
Jason King
>T. Literally blind
Robert Robinson
I like this one
Jack Morris
Obviously this one
Ryan Morris
Steelbook is kino though.
I really like this, probably my favorite in recent memory. Too bad I own on Steam.
Chase Powell
Pretty good but sometimes less is more.
Mason Hall
I have to ask. Is there any high resolution version of that cover art anywhere?
Carson Nguyen
terranigma thread?
Cameron Perez
Well, I found this one. Not the same but still.
Hunter Brooks
Yoshida never disappoints
Adrian Wilson
back in the day games looked like complete ass and a sweet illustration would both act as marketing and help the player realize just what the fuck those little pixels were supposed to represent so he could better immerse himself
Henry Miller
played bravely default last year, one of the best jrpg I've played gameplay wise. Edea bestest girl
Sebastian Miller
>xenofag calling anyone animu trash
Aiden Bennett
and that's a new wallpaper
Gabriel Edwards
This a coverart thread now?
Yoshida's art always make for kino covers
Hunter Phillips
(fucking forgot the pic)
Logan Stewart
I only played the DOS version of Prince of Persia. Did it have female enemies?
Joseph Collins
>CGI is cool, r-right guys..?
Isaiah Reed
I just noticed that the Xenoblade games make the color balancing around the console branding colors.
That's fucking amazing.
Daniel Baker
PC-98 had kino cover arts
Robert Wilson
Is the box art good or bad? I can't tell, op hasn't actually said if he likes it or not.
Zachary Sanchez
holy shit...!
You are correct.
Christian Wilson
Dude this looks awesome. Thanks.
Nicholas Kelly
Even higher res
Adam Hill
is that Yoshitaka Amano? it looks similar to his style.
Isaiah Hill
This, desu.
Evan Richardson
When's the next comfy music thread?
Joshua Miller
My favorite box art.
Grayson Campbell
Back in the day commercial psychology wasn't a thing yet, so they went more artsy.
Nowadays it has to be just shit like either
>FACE
or
>MAN WALKING TOWARDS/AWAY FROM VIEWER
Joshua Sullivan
u mad?
Hunter Ortiz
Daniel Bell
Jordan Nelson
These box arts suck.
Leo Foster
Benjamin Carter
No, just look at Japanese games released in japan. If you want ugly 3D models pickup western shit.
Chase Butler
Jose Martinez
Hunter Howard
Step aside, everyone. True Kino incoming.
Oliver Reyes
>3D models look like shit
Jaxon Reed
Fuck off you deluded weeb
Benjamin Lee
digging this one
Nolan Edwards
was gonna post this, based and redpilled
Nathan Scott
>characters walking away from the viewer with the main character in the middle
wow yeah this looks great user totally not generic
Brandon Sanders
Mason Young
They're all 3 main characters though
:^)
Caleb Miller
Is this where all the old weebs are hanging out?
Angel Scott
Isaiah Hill
>uses a buzzword like generic as an argument
You can better, come on
Kevin Baker
>call others weeb
>post japanese game anyway
Daniel Price
Luis Robinson
My dudes
Ryan Hill
Austin Harris
Kinorun
Connor Martin
I always liked the art in RE7
Jayden Fisher
Cute ship
Juan Murphy
the Japanese were so fucking lucky the the SNES box art
Colton Rodriguez
This looks cool, had never seen it.
>generic is a buzzword
You are retarded. If you want to be pedantic, then that fucking cover is uninspired. It says nothing about the game's quality, but 3SE is both the best game with the best cover.
Aiden Rivera
If only he looked that manly in game.
Angel Lewis
I'm inclined to disagree.
Christopher Morris
What game even is that?
Ryan Jackson
>You
>can
>better
>come
>on
umm nice buzzwords
Easton Ramirez
You have to be over 18 years old to post here
William James
Ghouls 'n' Ghosts on the Genesis.
Juan White
Good, you did better and used actual arguments
Jack Howard
Europe always does that shit
Angel Reyes
this one would have been decent instead of the actual cover, if it didn't had the date of course
Noah Scott
Don't mind me, only the best cover there is.
Lucas Lopez
Is he dead?
Daniel Lewis
that game is fucking hard
Charles Collins
Yeah Rex, Pyra and Mythra all look off compared to the rest of the cast.
Evan Johnson
I really hate how super anime they went with Xenoblade 2. Xenoblade was pretty anime, but the 2 is borderline chibi and it's hard to take Rex as serious when he looks like that.
Henry Cruz
Evan Morgan
No.
Elijah Cruz
This.
Joseph Carter
Both the collector version for Extella and Extella link are fucking good.
Carson Collins
I like it, my gripes are with how they did the designs for the characters I mentioned.
Ian Campbell
SOUL
Samuel Hughes
Yeah, just like with movies, back then you had to rely on a cover to see if a game was good or not.
Nathan Sanchez
This screams Record of Loddoss War
James Myers
>filter to make it looks more like a painting
it's almost like Japs know 3D arts are shit
Angel Nelson
A pity this image was only featured in the game manual. The box art for the america release was simply a sword on a black background. Which pales when compared with the art for Final Fantasy 1.
Luke Scott
Maybe the only time the US box art was comparable in quality to the Japanese box art.
Robert Perez
Gavin Ross
Promotional artwork has been terrible in general since digital photo manipulation became accessible.
Jose Howard
Sorry, bros, but this is how it's done.
youtube.com
Jayden Parker
That is a pretty good minimalist cover but it would've benefited from some sort of art on the clean glass part. Might've made the game more profitable.
I'd kill for a Quarantine remaster/port.
Carter Turner
This is the kino of all kino box arts. It's the one that any developer will use with their own characters as a tribute.
Remember when DOOM asked to choose an alternate cover? Did they really expect people to choose anything but the remake of this?
Thomas Powell
>Game is all about not looking at the monster
>Never have a clear idea of what the monster is
>Exec at THQ: PUT IT IN THE COVER
Some people are just too retarded to survive.
Josiah Edwards
He lives in our hearts.
Sebastian Howard
I want more games with Keita Amamiya designs
Ryder Murphy
That actually is really good. Didn't know about it.
Samuel Bell
youtube.com
Actually best SNES music coming through
Jace Powell
that cover is wack, only saving grace is the logo
Blake Morris
Oliver Williams
>On this day, N. America was resurrected.
Justin Peterson
I've always liked the Fatal Frame box arts
Jordan Allen
Forgot the NA one
The best one
Jose Cruz
Cooper Sanchez
John Jackson
>Xenoblade 1
>anime
Logan Gomez
Jaxon Cooper
Not that guy, but giant robots and killing god is pretty anime. It's a hell of a lot better than the bad anime bullshit that was used in XC2, but yeah, Xeno is pretty anime in general.
Brayden Davis
Based, also americans never got to experience it.
Cover war thread please
Brody Sanders
Carson Anderson
Christopher Myers
Jason Butler
No, that’s Katsuya Terada
Daniel Rivera
That game had some ominous hidden meaning behind it. Unfortunately the gameplay was too boring to keep my attention.
Nolan Gomez
It's okay to be brainlet user, Fortnite might be more to your liking.
Joseph Nguyen
I'm a brainlet too but I loved that game. I just couldn't understand the last 10% of it.
Joseph Mitchell
Jonathan Williams
Are there really no other games from the 7th gen where characters sleep under the covers?
Jackson Sullivan
DOJ is peak CAVE when it comes to art style.
Daniel Murphy
Keita Amemiya is cheating
Hunter Morris
Absolutely based
Jack Young
Noah Sullivan
Austin Russell
This thread is making me want to collect SNES games empty boxes.
Gavin Cox
Owen Johnson
Lincoln Cox
That's really bad.The cat is a shitty photo edit
Nathan Myers
>There are no such thing as "occult". It can be disproved all by science. Only the ones who have accepted everything, can get the right to know the truth.
The fuck does this mean?
Christopher Collins
Jose Wilson
>he doesn't know about sciADV games
If you are God, and the delusions become reality. About what kind of the noids you get?
Connor Mitchell
Absolute chad box art
John Flores
To be honest, Devil May Cry 5's cover is pretty good too.
Grayson Thompson
Terranigma is the best video game of all time.
My fucking favorite.
youtube.com
If you haven't played it you owe it to yourself.
Not sure if any other game has ever made me more emotional too.
Brody Torres
>move engine assets into position
>turn camera around
>take screenshot
>color correct it on Photoshop
wow so impressive
Dominic Morgan
It's obviously not as good as the drawn ones, I never implied that. I just like it.
Pretty obvious that, for example, pic related looks more aesthetic and more work was done on it.
Jayden Reyes
how do i proceed to the overworld without resurrecting Africa? im trying to make a better world
Liam Gonzalez
>descartes.jpg
Isaiah Campbell
Saturn's version also had a good cover. Castlevania's box art are always good in general.
Michael Carter
Alexander Kelly
>muh boxart
Just pirate the games dumb buyfags, literally doesn't matter
Andrew Gomez
Box art that's mostly just a logo is always awesome.
Jeremiah Howard
Elijah White
Check out this thread warosu.org
Austin Flores
>not using Launchbox so you can enjoy the cover art of all your pirated roms
lmao
Benjamin Powell
Not everyone is autistic as you
Adrian Morris
Chase Powell
You're just simple minded.
Angel Hughes
I know what you mean but how is xenoblade 1 not anime, but this somehow is?
Carter Cruz
Gabriel Taylor
Adam Morris
Camden Murphy
kino
Samuel Flores
Jeremiah Evans
Is the PSP version of pic related any good?
Joshua Wilson
Lincoln Cox
Minimalist covers are great.
Juan Cook
irony
John Kelly
What the fuck. I just watched the Classic Game Room review of this game, are you a wizard?
Logan Hill
good taste
and then you have AMERICAN GENESIS YS III ADOL
Aiden Diaz
Jayden Walker
It's quite solid, and has some nice quality of life stuff. The added crafting system is extremely painful, though.
Adam Price
Terranigma was too good for this fucking shit world we live in.
There will never be a videogame as beautiful.
Embrace me, user.
Evan Roberts
>people will hate him for this
Jordan Long
Wizardry in particular has some great simplistic box art.
Jayden Fisher
I like the vibrant colors on this one.
Jason Sullivan
Samuel King
This desu senpai
Ryder Robinson
The inspiration from de Chirico is clear. Also seeing some Laputa in that.
Nathaniel Thomas
Just a coincidence, goy.
Jacob Lopez
It is if you either like or ignore heavy grinding.
Not Disgaea grinding, but it's there.
>When you wanted another chapter instead of a remake.
Christopher Turner
Ryder Nelson
Gabriel Brooks
Lincoln Ward
Hudson Price
>Also seeing some Laputa in that.
Laputa was clearly a big inspiration for the team behind Ico and SotC. Probably influenced the Dark Souls team as well.
Camden Collins
Henry Davis
Still my favourite of forever and all time
Matthew Powell
>Wild Arms
MY NIGGA
Robert Nelson
I'm sorry, you're all incorrect.
youtube.com
Brody Johnson
They're often regulated to steelbooks
Ryder Ortiz
The Yo noid.
Mason Cox
The original's box art is pretty forgettable, but I love the soundtrack's art.
Parker Cox
I love that picture so much, it's so simple but effective into making the viewer wonder about the mysteries of that world.
Isaiah Peterson
What ever happened to the sense of grandeur and adventure?
Ayden Ramirez
No.
Jacob Thompson
Owen Young
Now I'm not gonna call it 'kino' as its just a drawn version of a typical "characters in a movie with a few grunts at the bottom" posters, but I always kinda wonder why one would relegate the clearly superior box art to limited edition steelbooks
Leo Moore
oh shit I never noticed that before
Isaac Diaz
Colton Perry
Didn't mean to reply, my bad.
Daniel Flores
Good taste.
Chase Hughes
Humans are not curious anymore since we can look at screens to meet faraway unknown lands.
There's no adventure anymore, only monetized media.
Levi Davis
Fuck!
Cooper Hall
Even though they're almost identical, I feel like the XB2 cover is significantly worse. And not just because of Rex and Pyra
Anthony Price
It's a matter of convenience. Back in the day you couldn't use in-game assets for your artwork so that shit had to be done from scratch by necessity. Now everyone can just slap a bunch of renders together and boom, done.
Zachary Morris
Oliver Baker
meh
good
Julian Gutierrez
Luke Turner
>generic font on the spine
why is this allowed FUCK I get so triggered by this shit
Owen Johnson
Ah, so that's where they took inspiration for the Arbalest's design.
Joshua Bennett
Yall are cool. Vandal Hearts 1 is my favorite game of all time and 2 would've been if they hadn't fucked up the combat. too bad we'll never get a proper sequel after that PSN abombination
Jaxon Green
European game covers are always based
Henry Martinez
the switch logo ruins it
Christian Cruz
Connor Cook
whats good about 2's cover?. it's a mess
Isaac Myers
I guess oversaturation of the genre with a mix of modern day cynicism.
James Stewart
I like the colors
Gavin Carter
Thomas Butler
and the rating box
Ayden Harris
Vandal Hearts II was pretty ass, too. I don't know what happened there. It's like they were all made by completely different companies.
Kevin Gonzalez
Wizardry artwork is pure kino
Oliver Smith
I'd give everything for a decent Terranigma game on the Switch.
Stories like Terranigma are not being told in this day and age anymore.
Connor Nelson
you just blew my fucking mind
William Johnson
>smashfags that don't play games
Jacob Morris
I miss my ingame apartment.
Hunter Walker
Sebastian Cruz
Not gonna happen unfortunately. The creator fucked off to the mountains and the next game after Terranigma... let's say it's not that good, definitely.
Oliver Lewis
I think its an EU thing. Nearly all the Sony published games outside of Spiderman have generic fonts on the spine
Jonathan Martinez
looks like europe was the only one bodering making a whole cover
Noah Brown
Nah, ironically I think it's . The original has a soft, almost watercolor look to it whereas 2 looks oversaturated and more "punchy" with its palette. Also it lacks focus with the Titan AND the World Tree(and of course Pyra and Rex in the foreground).
Brandon Gray
Yikes
Cooper Lopez
Robert Sanchez
Kino
Parker Bell
There should be a game based on this art alone, separated from all the prince of persia shit thats been out.
Aiden Martin
Samuel White
stupid
Mason Martinez
soul overload coming through
Mason Cox
nice thread boys
pic unrelated
Christian Hill
disgusting
Aiden Powell
Based and adventurepilled
For me, it's the soulful eyes that always get me in this boxart
Wyatt Hill
kinda unrelated but do you guys also watch the SNES drunk guy on youtube?
Zachary Reed
Eli Price
yall need to lay off the fukin anime tho
Asher Reyes
underagefag begone
Robert Collins
Meant for
Brody Butler
good job
Michael Price
Both look really good.
Austin Rodriguez
Jacob Mitchell
Alexander Smith
excuse me anons SOUL coming through
Brandon Watson
Alexander Myers
We talking box art kino?
Isaiah Myers
That was a damn good game.
Aaron Hall
Adrian Lewis
Pretty much. Yeah
Adam Bell
wtf I hate Beard Arthur now
Jacob Murphy
The super nintendo version is more like a full on remake rather than a port
Juan Jackson
I don't recall Nei having hooker high heels. Or using guns.
