Wow I've never seen the TG16 R-Type box art before. What the hell were they thinking redrawing the art for TG16 games, it's like they went out of their way to make it look lame  Also why change the font on the name to make it look boring and generic? Baffling!

It is amazing—so much work and effort for bland results.

However, I have long-argued that the North American art should be appreciated.

Life is boring if the original PCE art was recycled.

And, sometimes, the NA art is better. Rarely...but it happens.

LEGENDARY AXE is superior, for example.

I feel the same way. I have raged about it so much that i sound like a broken record, so I just agree.

is the TG16 box art so bad, it's famously good  ( like nes megaman)?

too be honest, most western box art ( not just usa, uk designed strider 2 which is not official related to strider series but they did had the licence from  capcom) was bad

Hahahhahha. Wow, that's ridiculous art for Strider. :)

I believe that western art is something to be appreciated—it adds another layer to the hobby we love.

nah, i prefer japanese art

on the other hand, from the mid 90's onwards, western company set an example of decent artwork with the help of  design companies such designer republic for wipeout, that's what you called decent minimalistic artwork that would be good in a art gallery

Our boxes used to be manly, just like our men.  The wussification of western society is for real.

if it was like uk or us made hifi equipment or german classic inspired car mercedes example g class, then an utilitarian look would be fine, but these box art is something a high school student can do much better than these 'supposed' professionals
