ITT: Only the best box/cover art allowed in this thread
seeing the "survival horror" label at the bottom makes me really happy as its obviously a throwback to old boxarts. DMC5's JP cover has "stylish action" at the bottom too
DMC5
Always been a huge fan of the character collages
Dont want to shit on your taste but Im pretty sure you could have picked better ones.
Assuming this isn't banned from fashion competetions
Kino box art
I posted DMC5 to show the label, but you have shit taste if you don't think the Bio:RE2 Z Version cover isn't kino
Pretty much any old jrpg
Why wasn’t the thread started with Secret of Mana?
Good taste. The S&K logo is about as iconic as it gets
That was a fucking great game.
Guardian Legend
Work of fucking art. I'm still mad that we didn't get this Stateside.
Sure it looks good but it makes the game look like it's going to be like Silent Hill. Resident Evil 4 is 100% an action game and it needed a cover art that reflected that.
Shit covers honestly.
>duplicate file exists here
Well what do ya know!
>Shit covers honestly
Jesus you have terrible taste
>guy with his back towards the viewer walking away with a weapon in hand
It's the most overused, lazy, uncreative shit you can imagine.
Already ruined by GC's player's choice banner. GameCube might be my favorite console to date but jesus fuck do I hate the NA player's choice banner and spine. Why didn't we get the objectively better silver one? It actually compliments the regular black spines.
u win
now take your prize and gtfo
>says "single-player action RPG" right on the box
CHECKMATE ATHEISTS
The engrish text on the front is the best part
Sonic 1 is the best one though, hitting you right in the regrets
Who cares if it looks good? I get that some cover art can be lazy in concept, but that logo mixed with the color choice looks great. I was mainly talking about how you think the RE2 cover looks bad. That shit is incredible.
Prefer the long Japanese version where it clearly shows them standing at the edge of a cliff it really changes the symbolism
why is the japanese Sonic boxart so kino? Why was it raped in the US?
>posting the SNES cart label and not the SFC box art
I thought this game was shit but enjoyed it anyway.
So much memphis movement in this box, it's incredible really
David Bowie would put this shit on his wall
He's breaking through a wall for no reason, something that never happens in the game. I don't know why it's happening but I'll never forget this cover.
twin peaks ps1 before deadly premonition
I fucking love the Japanese final fantasy boxes. Literally all of them are top tier
i will not post the USA boxart of these games because it is truly shit
Even the newer ones
Rayman is like "Yeah, I'm sorry about the wall" or "I'm going to kick your ass."
this is a 3do game,
I still wish we had gotten these designs in the US. I don't really get why they were changed, honestly. They seem like they'd have fit our pop culture nicely. Maybe they weren't edgy/cool enough.
That looks like shit.
>all those clashing perspectives
Feel free to post your own for critique
I REALLY liked that cover as a kid. For some reason, I thought there was a giant hole in the ground that Bowser was breathing into and Pikachu was jumping out of. I imagined how the rest of the fight would go down from that picture on the cover and who would win. The various character rectangles were nice additions as well. Truly, an early 2000s era boxart.
Path of Radiance is way better.
*cough
Senri Kita's art is godlike, both are good
That's literally it. Jap Sonic was too cutesy so we got shit eating leather skinned mohawk sonic instead.
>ITT ... in this thread
Mohawk Sonic is genuinely the worst design Sonic has had in his entire existence.
I'm happy they've basically buried its existence at this point.
kino
pic related will always be one of my favorites. Clean and simple
Wait, what's mohawk Sonic?
The US Genesis covers Sonic.
So fuckin' gay.
Sonic got redesigned for the West to fit the idea of the West's idea of "cool" at the time.
This, but unironically.
Based
Kind of good
Yikes kiddie shit
Oh fuck, I remember that. I always thought that was just that the shows and stuff were low budget because they're just side stuff meant to sell the games.
You're telling me that was on purpose?
But did Japan ever get the version we got? The Japanese version of MM is like a beta version with shitty sound and missing features.
Hi IGN
ZOOM. ENHANCE.
>Not the one with the IGN watermark
kek
Yep, this is by far my favorite cover art out of any video games.
Nevermind I see it now
>being blind
>You're telling me that was on purpose?
Unfortunately.
too chaotic, not edgy and cohesive enough for US audiences
They are amazing to look at though, I'd take a high-res printout of that for my wall, spine and all.
why is there always a "reply to everyone" poster in these threads
They think their opinion matters. Just ignore them.
>always shown as a mohawk in usa marketing
>never actually saw it as a mohawk
oh look, a sony-gger shitposting because he has no games.
It's nice to see him in his natural habitat.
"A resident evil"
???
I came across this version of the game CITB cheap on a bidding and bought this just because the art is so good and the package as a whole is such a beautiful object to look at, Im not even a FF fan and I sure as hell will never play a JRPG in Japanese
>Micheal Bay's Jack Brios
bump
>That text
I still don't understand why they had those ultra-serious passages on the classic Sonic covers but they get me every time
You can fucking FEEL the hype just from this one image.
Also
full N64 box version
What the heck, did they cut up a photo of a tv showing the game's title screen and paste it on the cover? It's fantastic
Finally a man with taste, fuck western box art this is why I collect mainly Japanese games
Amen
