Yes. The definitely matter.
Personally I wouldn't buy a game that has lousy box-art if I didn't really know for 100% it truly was a good game. For example, I'd never buy rereleases like 'Platinums', 'Player's Choice', 'Classics', 'GotY-Edition' or whatever, because their box-arts are always hideous. On the other hand, I got New Super Mario Bros. 2 first day, because it's cover is absolutely beautiful! After that, I only played the game for 6 hours still.
Besides that good. nice boxes look better on the shelves too.
