That is a joke art and loses to SoM. Next?

japanese version of course.

also for your consideration: Nier Automata (Japanese version), Kingdom Hearts 3, Ikaruga, Ico (Japanese version)

I used a random game button to get this, and I think they're pretty similar in quality.

I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways.
I actually agree that Secret of Mana is one of the best covers. I was looking through games trying to find a better one, and there really aren't many.

One that I'd definitely put above it though, is the original Dragon Warrior.



Your mileage may very based on your fondness of dragons, but it is quite possibly the most badass video game art that has ever existed.
Bells, bells, bells!

yes. Also by extension SoM has one of the all time best title screens. The music + that art with a bit of motion is very effective.

I have a more vertically oriented version of that art on my current phone case. Looks good.

The one shown is okay but also looks sloppy and like a child drew it. It is missing something.

This is phenomenal. I will have to reflect on whether its better than SoM. Give me some time.

This is a joke but being artistic myself I found appeal here. It is not up to par though.

Another joke picture and it is outclassed.

I cannot find one online. It only shows X and X2. Provide a link for analysis.

I mean sure but considering how low the bar was set I think this is still good enough?

The reason why you couldn't see my Signature before is because it was Invisible
secret of mana is a game i always wanted to play based off of the cover alone, so i think it wins.
i legally played it on pc a while back and lost motivation fairly quickly- in my case i think the cover oversold the game

i have a lot of nostalgia for the original starcraft box, specifically the protoss and zerg ones. the faces were bumpy to the touch/3 dimensional which i thought was very cool
You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

no, not even close. Its all one color.

The joke art with the Banjo man is better.
Don't mess with a Bunny!

I request affiliated many pipes.
Been a bad girl, I know I am. And I'm so hot, I need a fan. I don't want a boy, I need a man.
So far SoM is winning with DW in a close second.


i like the case for this ef release
What game is that?
My personal favorite has always been Mega Man X2.



I still remember seeing it on the shelf at Hollywood Video as a kid and telling my dad we gotta rent it because it looks so cool!
