Who said the US couldn't do good box art?

Or properly name something.

Thanks to Recap for pointing out this shiny turd to me.

 

Yay, yet one more bad US art thread!

I believe we get the picture.

Wapanese Americans and Japanese hate US box art. OK.

 

The two terms Bubble Bobble and Revolution don't exactly go together too well either.

 

That's the european art... for once, the us box art isn't the worst. It isn't good, but it doesn't suck that much. Although in this case, the Japanese art is also crappy. Nobody wins!

 

Gasp how can you say the jpn artwork is crappy (grabs pitchfork)

Compare this....


To this piece of shit

 

Ditto to importaku -- i like the JPN artwork... although I don't like the game (other than the original version included).

What's the US artwork look like?

 

What the heck are these boxes for?:



I couldn't get much info on google. The one on the left looks more "Western" to me.

 

I could have sworn there was a different picture there a second ago. And it doesnt even say you edited your post!

 

Yeah, it seemed I gave false information by providing a box art for the Puzzle Bobble. The thought of editing my post didn't occur to me, so just I deleted it. Sorry about that.

 

The 2nd one isn't that bad, although the original logo would be the way to go.

 

I like people who take the extra fourth of a second to type out whole words--like "Japanese" just for instance--but you don't see me creating new topics all the time just to pound on the point.


...word is bondage...

 

Do you like people that use the abbreviation FU?

 

Jap art likes ten times better then those bloated things in the other picture

 

Fun University?

 

Here is a website about American box art VS Japanese box art.

Lol, was this set in Miami during the 80s?

 

you know one of the rare instancei can think us got better art would be the street fighter games or ikaruga,which its japanese gc box art just didnt sit well with me

 

However, the big ass quote at the top of the US Ikaruga front cover I could do without.

Ugh, the Bubble Bobble art is making me nausiated... I can't understand why the art has to be changed between US and Japan. Unless,do they think it's more they think Americans or Japanese will prefer it? Or is it that the marketing dolts think they can do it better? Does anyone know?

 

What, you don't like IGN's Frothing Demandâ„¢?

Vice City called. They want their levels back.

I'm not ENTIRELY sure what you said, but... maybe?
