>>386286338
For this kind of threads, it is. You can't really circlejerk around covers, it's not fun enough.
>>386285863
>>386283451
POR FUCKING QUE!?
>>386286687
Because publishers believe that Americans need "badass" covers otherwise they won't sell. TVTropes article on American Kirby is Hardcore covers the why.
>>386286769
What's wrong with our little girls?
Why can't they be Japanese?

Hated how they didn't use Shinkawa artwork for every cover of a MG game.
>>386288373
Still don't know how they got away with this one.
>>386288657
This is the first one I've seen where the western version is actually better than the Jap version.
>>386288845
this can't be real
>>386288810
All of them? The only one where I prefer the western one is Twilight Princess.
>>386288751
>EU is actually better than Japan
MGS4 was just a whole fucking mess.
>>386288845
>tfw this game is actually decent
Euro cover still absurd
>NA gets the better box art
What's her name?
>>386288845
Is this real? The fuck?
>>386289361
This was back when Kojima was actually competent with ruses. Even making the box art only depict Solid Snake on the front an back to keep Raiden a surprise.
>>386289921
Raiden is on the Jap box art though which is weird.
>>386283451
The Japanese cover for Perfect Dark used this photo. Possibly the best box art ever.
>>386290087
Best coverart for 2017 coming through
>>386290087
Cool picture, but kinda misleading for what the game actually is.
>>386288657
Japanese version are shockingly awesome.
>>386290087
>>386290198
Absolutely loved that game, lost so many hours beating the challenges.
>>386290603
EU boxart is the coolest, but the NA art is the most accurate since the game is basically just you fucking up a ton of zombies the entire time.
>>386290603
>not posting the absolute best one
>>386290603
Strange to see the Japanese version be the worst, although it's still ok I guess. European version is great.
>>386290087
Doesn't represent the game whatsoever
>>386290810
Japan's one for REmake wasn't that great either in my opinion, I actually prefer the NA one.
>>386286769
Okay, real talk, what is up with the fucking smiles they have on the left. Those things are terrifying.
>>386291021
I dunno, I like the atmospheric house shot. I feel covers with action on the cover are tryhard. Implication of violence like someone lingering with a gun is fine but actual action in a cover is trash
>>386291021
Europes was the best
>>386291313
Huh, I thought it was Biohazard everywhere but America.
>>386286769
I wonder if they released both versions of that in the west how many weebs would buy the one on the right
>>386291498
Nah in Europe we get the classic "RESIDENT EVIL" voice at the start of every game too (except 7 and i'm still triggered)
>>386291486
Aside from the lack of the logo graphic i prefer the left
>>386289991
i think NA version came out first, there was no way to hide Raiden from the japs by the time it came out.
>>386291292
Not really action though, just jill struggling with a zombie. I really like the background with the open window with the light flowing in.
The box art also is crammed with text on the Japan version.
>>386283451
EU: 13 POINTS
JP: 10 POINTS
NA: 6 POINTS
Based on the covers posted so far.
NA MGS2 and wins because the whole reveal of Raiden is kept secret better there.
I think they all suck but the EU version is the least awful

Why do the western versions keep forcing the gold into these covers?
>>386290207
I dont get it
Its just some fag with a gun covered in extra thick semen
>>386292721
To encourage people to pre-order or buy on release day so they can have it. It's kind of clever actually, they're essentially selling a regular copy as a limited edition version without expensive incentives.
>>386292721
Probably to trick people into thinking they're special for getting the first batch or something
>>386293190
Guess which one is NA without looking at the ratings.
>>386288498
Do they make Kirkby angry in Europe too?
>>386293340
Of course.

Every time.
>>386294134

>>386294118
This is absolute kino, shame it costs more money to import from Japan but sometimes you just have to.
The only cover that accurately represents the game is European one too.

>>386294883
>TURBO TASTIC
>>386294585
It's an NES game by Compile.
You play as an anime girl with a gun in a Zelda styled top-down shooter, but instead of dungeons you're looking for gateways to shmup stages. The equipment you collect in the labyrinth double as new weapon types in the shmup segments, and ammo doubles as your currency at shops.
It's a bit of a relic but it's pretty novel.
>>386294883
this one always gets me
>People will defend this
>>386295120
I like all three, but I think Europe wins this one too.
>>386295120
How come Japanese covers have their titles written in English?
>>386295290
Can't let people find out women have boobs
>>386295290
That was just so the giant ESRB rating wouldn't cover Morgana's face.

>>386295957
I prefer The NA version. It shows the hero, weapon ready, about to embark on his journey to save hyrule, while the EU version has link lookijng at the viewer as if he is asking if you are ready set out and explore, with absolutely no sense of urgency at all. It comes down to preference.
>>386296946

>>386296584
It's a generic and "attention grabbing" for western audiences and Red Seeds Profile is kind of meaningless. But then again so is Metal Gear Solid.
>>386297079
They make up for it though w/ the awful NA Silent Hill 3 cover and the fantastic Silent Hill 3 Pal cover.
>north america gets btfo the thread
what is up with our covers being the worst ones 90% of the time?
>>386296778
Idk,at least the japanese games look cute.
>>386288657
American TP is infinitely better than the JP box, which looks like one of those quick photoshop "custom covers". JP Majora is pure kino. The rest are pretty bland.
>>386297079
europe>America>japan
>>386288498
to be fairly honest, in every game that isn't a spin off, kirby kicks the shit out of some galactic monstrosity and then tears their anus open in the true arena.
Great job Germany!
>>386288657
Probably due to the very first one being painted gold, so it must be a tradition of the region
>>386297256
This is what's wrong with 99% of NA box arts.
>>386292093
Thank fuck it had a reversible cover, the standard NA one is fucking awful. At least Nier's US cover was still pretty classy.
>>386286769
That's 50/50.
The anime artstyle looks better than the cartoon artstyle, but the american characters are more distinct from each other and have more personality.
>>386297791
>>386297420
The reversible Japan WW cover is really good too.
>>386295120

>>386297882
I don't know where you got that art for NA but it's not correct
>>386298326
That's because they copied NA's approach instead of an atmospheric shot it's just 'dude looks at you menacingly'.
>>386297256
Don't worry in recent years European countries have stopped getting covers catered to us and are now just getting the American cover. I first noticed this when we didn't get any proper artwork for the MGSV cover like we usually got.
It game me a pain, a phantom pain.
>>386298208
Wait that's not James on the NA box art?
>>386297079
Damn, the American cover for 2 really captures the atmosphere of the game. Is this one of the only times the American cover is superior?
>>386298635
Yes it is, you might be thinking of Continuum Shift Extend.

It's already been mentioned but MGS2's NA box art is one of the most iconic ones out there.
>>386285767
it must be imported from there then.
>>386296584
Because naming the game off the Coffee scene was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

What were they thinking?
>>386305578
It seems like there's no in between with EU covers: Either it's pure kino or an abomination.
>>386304952
It's honestly more representational of the mood of the game. Kind of like the whole 'intro' sequence, of the game. You're spending a lot of time with your party, especially if you want to be OP and grind a bunch. Sort of how the JP Dark Souls covers are representative of the somber and isolated overtones of the game itself.
Seems like JP covers, for most games are describing the emotional moods of the games.
If the US cover didn't have the Batman Forever font it'd be perfect.
>>386305967
