And since I've got time to kill before my trip to Florida in a couple days... I thought, "Why not tackle boxarts next?" So here we are. I'm counting down my 30 favorite boxarts: the badass, the artful, the bats*** insane. All of 'em are gonna be here. -- Hey, you ever coming back? You kidding?

TheCodeisBosco 06/25/12 8:36:00 PM #4:	HONORABLE MENTIONS Dead Rising -Pictured: the second most badass Mr. West out there. Sorry Frank, but nobody tops Kanye... but you do top Adam, which is an impressive feat. BurgerTime Deluxe JPN -This boxart is very EarthBound-esque. It's brightly colored, it's a neat Japanese take on American culture, and much like the girls working at Eagleland's various burger joints, the young woman here seems to be a real sweetheart. Doesn't get much more endearing than this. (Also, the game itself is one of the system's best, and it's on the 3DS Virtual Console! Buy it ASAP.) Dune II -This here is a very classy, cinematic design that's received a lot of praise. To be honest, I don't know very much about the game itself, but I'd consider impulse buying it because of this. -- Hey, you ever coming back? You kidding?

The game's character designs are brilliant as well, so it'd be hard to make a box for this game that DIDN'T look appealing. -- Hey, you ever coming back? You kidding?

TheCodeisBosco 06/25/12 8:50:00 PM #11:	#27: Uoozu -Have you ever played Feeding Frenzy, by PopCap? It was a very popular Xbox Arcade game for a while, and this is essentially a much earlier version of it. There are two differences, though: 1) it's much harder, and 2) for my money, it's actually more fun. It's known here in the States as "Fish Dude," and unfortunately, we got the short end of the stick as far as boxart goes: The boxart for the original Uoozu, though? Maybe it's just me, but I really dig it. Japanese Game Boy boxarts can be downright strange at times, and this one is borderline avant-garde; while still being appealing, and representing the game well. I'd definitely consider buying that complete copy above, that's for sure! -- Hey, you ever coming back? You kidding? I am Queens Boulevard. <cite>TheCodeisBosco posted [p:1273660] in Bosco'...

TheCodeisBosco 06/25/12 8:54:00 PM #13:	#26: Hatris JPN -Speaking of avant-garde, here's another weird-yet-brilliant Game Boy boxart, straight from the Land of the Rising Sun. Hatris is actually a great puzzler, and easily one of my favorite Tetris offshoots; and while its US boxart was bland, it got the cover it deserved in Japan. It also reminds me of one of my favorite movie posters: the Polish Short Circuit 2 one. -- Hey, you ever coming back? You kidding?

But ever since I was a kid, I always liked its boxart a lot, and some things never change! The classic Mario art style is on full display here, and the picture is full of personality: Mario's hammering away at the barrels, DK Jr.'s taunting him, and DK himself seems almost happily unaware of it all.

Along with The Castlevania Adventure, it was one of the first third-party GB titles to leave a real impression, and it was definitely one of the most visually impressive GB titles up to that point. Even today, it's a fun pinball title that's well worth seeking out. The US boxart was perfectly fine, but this is definitely another case of Japanese Game Boy covers kicking ass. The charm level is through the roof here, and there's a very impressive amount of detail. Just look at all them 'gators! Sterling Archer would have a heart attack if he saw this. -- Hey, you ever coming back? You kidding? I am Queens Boulevard. <cite>TheCodeisBosco posted [p:1273675] in Bosco'...

Don't get me wrong, the series generally has solid boxarts; I'm also quite fond of Metroid 2's, and even Metroid Prime Pinball's. But this is just... man, it's almost the pinnacle, as far as SNES covers go! Kraid's "cameo" is a great touch that I didn't notice for years. -- Hey, you ever coming back? You kidding?
