Don't they use the same shitty artwork for Mobile Light Force 2? AKA Castle of Shikigami 2? lol

Either way, it's Japan all the way. Comically bad Western art.

I'm gonna guess the western art is not remotely indicative of the gameplay.

...I refuse to believe that these are the same game.

It was suggested last topic and I audibly laughed when I saw how different the non JPN boxes are.
I especially love how the EU version is just a stretched version of the NA version

Wait till you see the Mobile Light Force 2 box arts

Current tally of victories
NA - 42

I've heard about this one lmao.

Up until the mid 2000s, western publishers had no idea how to market niche Japanese titles.

Lots of dumb shit like dying everyone's hair blonde in Disaster Report.

Wow that ps1 port was significantly altered from the arcade port!
Like they got rid of text dialogue that would appear before the stage boss. Or the short cutscenes that would play before the stage starts/towards the end of the level >__>

The non Japanese box arts look like the one of the most generic 90's ass box arts that can be

Oh God, the box art for the sequel is actually worse. And by worse, I mean the exact same with a "2" slapped on.
Edit: it gets better, the game is completely unrelated.

So close to voting NA just for the trololololol but really this is a JP freebie.

Fucking hell

I actually don't like the Japanese art and the NA one is just so unabashedly trash that I kind of love it.

Yeah, the left half of the Japanese art is an unrecognizable hodgepodge. It's like those AI images of things that almost look real but aren't

Exactly, it's just slopped together. It might be more accurate, but I do think it's genuinely worse artwork that titties, guns, and explosions.

I like the artwork. The JP versions of gunbird on the ps1/sega saturn use this image in particular as their cover art. I also like their promotional artwork
