Wow... damn it why can't the NA one be so pretty?

It actually looks as a great book cover, right?

I don't know what's the criteria for game covers and localization, but sometimes one gets to feel it could have been better done.

By instance, look at this:

How in the world does that cover have anything to do with Uncharted 2 aesthetics, how twisted are japanese people supposed to be that this is the means to sell them this game, I just don't know.

LOL...thats bad :/

On the other hand other M's cover in JP is beautiful! plus it looks pixelated as if it's ment to say the return of metroid from NES! Didnt work though :/

Kind of funny and interesting, take a look if you haven't read it yet.



That's just an outer card.

Here's the actual cover.

Looks like one of those old comic books.



Above: still the best game of the year.

There are only two Metriod cover I've been impressed by, first Metriod 2 on the GB and finally the Metriod Prime Trilogy cover.

All other are sort of ho-hum.



Looks photoshopped.



Pixel Art can be fun.

I have grown to like it slightly more, though I still prefer the boxart that represents Metroid: Other M in the rest of the world.
