Forums - Gaming Discussion - Wishing for the boxart of another region

Hello, my fellow VGCharter!

Have you ever bought a game and found that the boxart was kinda stupid? Have you ever felt stupified when realizing that, in some other region, the same game has a really amazing one?

Well, this thread is for you.

Post the ugly boxart of the game and the really cool one.

My example - EDF: Insect Armaggedon

US Boxart

Japan Boxart

The japan one is soooo much better.

PS - Yes. This thread is just an excuse for me to remind people that there is a new EDF game coming out in JULY 5!!!

Around the Network

No one has anything to say?

PS - I wish I could find a better version of the japan boxart.

Who gives a damn about boxart lol.



While the US version of Uncharted 2 isn't too shabby

It has NOTHING on the sweet ass Japanese version, which looks like a movie poster from the '70s!



Though this game hasn't come out yet..

The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 3D

US Boxart

I still like this boxart but I would've preferred this:

Euro Boxart

It's beautiful!!!! :O



Around the Network

 

Japan on the left and NA on the right.

NA on the left and EU on the right

...i dont get American's box art where alot of times they just like to show a big face, its like they lacking ideas.  (including GoW3 lol)

I prefer the non-NA box arts



Well I'll post some opposite stuff to the others here so far.

Two cases where the US Box arts are bette than the EU:

US                                                                                            EU

        



US/EU pre-rendered uglyness box-art:

 

 

 

Glorious hand drawing JP/Asia box-art:

 

 

(thank god the last one can be played on european Xboxs and have english subs and voice):p



Here's one of my fav box arts of all time from the SNES era in all its bad-ass glory...

And here's its weak-ass PAL cousin...

Barf!  And here's... well... I don't know what the hell to make of the Japanese edition's artwork lol...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

I do like the EU box art but NA is so badass =)     I am from Europe.
