Games with better US box art.

[GUTS]

First up, MUSHA-

Japanese


USA


The jap version looks like a little kid's cartoon, the US cover is 100% true to the game's badass image.

I actually like the manga-ish vibe of the Japanese cover over the pretentious Ghost In The Shell-esque American cover.

[Keranu]

Whoa, good one, GUTS. In an all serious manner, I think the American one definitely looks cooler as the Japanese one looks a bit dorky, not to mention the kick ass flames in the background of the USA one.

Here's a choice from me:

Wimpy Japanese



ALL AMERICAN!

Keranu you're gonna have to take the image from Sega-16 and post it on your Photobucket (or whatever) account because Sega-16 is blocking you.  PWND!

I agree that the US MUSHA is better.  Anime/Manga is old news, seriously overrated and only virgin males with ponytails enjoy it.  Well they may not have ponytails, but there is a 95% chance that they wear glasses!

I also agree that Sonic's US cover is way better.  All of the Japanese Sonic covers are way too spastic and unappealing.  It looks like it was designed while the artist was having a severe seizure.  No wonder they hate Sonic in Japan.

Sarcasm?

LOL, right on! That's so correct.

Well I like the direction the Japanese cover was going in, but it's overdone, in my opinion. It's got a 80's/early-90's style I love and Sonic is definitely an early-90's fellow, but the cover is just too spastic as you've said. The detail in the American one is just awesome.

I've all ways like the u.s boxart for Contra compare to the jpn one.

U.S

JPN


I guess, becuse the u.s boxart has that whole predator/alien thing going on 

[Joe Redifer]

Keranu, no sarcasm at all.  Your US Sonic image simply displays the SEGA-16 logo and nothing else.  The image works for you because it is in your browsers cache.  Press REFRESH and you'll see what I mean, and you'll realize that it is TEH PWN.

Hotlinking is for suckers.

That japanese contra cover is horrible!  Good find there.

Japanese Ranger X- pretty cool, but kind of plain.  Makes me want to play something that would appear to have a little more action.



USA Ranger X- awesome action pose with flames, looks belligerent as hell.  This cover makes me want to destroy stuff with a huge mech, which is convenient since that's what the game is about.

[Keranu]

Screw sites that won't hotlink. I'm not going to bother relinking the image either since everyone should know what the American Sonic cover looks like anyways . Sega-16 is gay.

[Necromancer]

Apparently, Moby Games is teh ghey too.  Here ya go, ya lazy f*ckers!

Even us non-American scum?

[Joe Redifer]

Wow.  And I thought that I was lazy.  Keranu you have exceeded me in laziness. 

[offsidewing]

Was the Japanese version of Chronic the Hemphog better than the american release??

[Keranu]

Wow.  And I thought that I was lazy.  Keranu you have exceeded me in laziness. 

Sorry but if Sega-16 wants to be an a$$hole, then I'm going to continue hotlinking them. And no, I'm not going to doubt my laziness , but I'm also not going to waste my precious time either to impress a forum  .
