I do appreciate how half her ass is showing in both versions. At least they kept that consistent

Yeah it's some certain release of it, I'm not sure which one. It looks like most of the time they did use the original superior art. Topic is a little disingenuous but I thought it was funny lmao

Neither do. I swear my copy has the same art is the Japanese one.

Maybe it was so fucking awful my brain retconned my memories as a defensive mechanism?

Did research:

This "box art" was a promotional poster, not the official art on the box or cart.

^I always liked Europe's surreal, retro-futurist look

Germany has the best Dr. Wily though

The USA one shows it's a guy in a suit.

Also isn't Mega Man supposed to be like a late age teen?

Now that I think about it, Megaman/Rockman really does look like a video game form of Astroboy.

I like how it took 3 games for the US box artists to realize Megaman didn't carry a handgun.

On the other hand, the international Zelda boxart is superior to the Japanese version

So classic and understated

Damn. I want to say JPs is better but the gold and just title brought class to the game. Like they make so many covers just gold and its fine despite being boring and unimaginative.

The gold cover is a little boring but it trule makes zelda stick out as the high class game only do to your association with gold.

What's with the fist coming out of the A in Mega? Did the title squash somebody?

The Japanese version is good, but I just love the minimalist design of the US/EU box
It just screams "class" rather than throwing a bunch of random stuff at you

What really makes me laugh is, her face in this American art is much more the face she'd probably actually make in this situation. But I prefer the runway model on the left, so aloof lol
