At least they started adding Link on the boxes by Wind Waker, the gold boxes with the logo and maybe an item were stupid.

This is the most pleb thing I've ever heard. That's what the back of the box is for. The cover should be bold and unique. If you need to see the characters and shit from the game, they put fucking screenshots on the back of the box for a reason.

There were black and white doom covers for shareware copies sold at my local drug store. It looked like a shipping label with the doom guy printed on it.

Shareware resellers were everywhere at the time. 7-11, grocery stores, drug stores, etc. Home internet was still rare in 1994 so people actually bought shareware copies.

My brother and I used to buy shareware from Spencer's Gifts with our allowance because they were only $2 and we were poor kids with no internet. The only game we ever actually bought the full version of after buying the shareware was One Must Fall.

It's successful branding is what it is. I'm pretty sure putting Link on every Zelda cartridge for NES through the N64 era would have made the games look more generic if anything. Sure their art is slightly unrelated but it still stands out.

I nominate picrelated. But before you get buttblasted and accuse me of toxic Shinkirophobia, hear me out.

I used to know only the general info about fighting games. I have seen this cover in magazines a million of times. But I didn't have a single idea of what it was supposed to be. It was pretty mysterious, I couldn't ever deduct what was supposed to go on in it.

Why? Because Capcom decided they absolutely needed to put a virtually unknown character on the front, with some other less-known secondary characters barely visible in the back.

I get it, these characters were newcomers. But do they seriously expect me to deduct what the game is about from that cover? Was it THAT hard to put Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Chun Li, Kyo, Iori or Terry there? Just, you know, to give at least some context for what this game is about.

I have nothing to say about the game. But fuck, it's like Capcom deliberately wanted to keep that game as shut out from outsiders as possible.

If you have seen Kinaman's video on Super Mario 1–16, you know that Chinese pirates loved doing sprite hacks of games and selling them as different games.

For some reason, they simply loved Chin 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers. They even made a full ripoff game of them for MD (picrelated). Well, Russia got Disney cartoons on TV for the first time in the '90s, and C'N'D was one of them, but still their love for it defied reason. They also put the main hero of American Tail on every cover.

And so they started shoving Chip and Dale into other games, and it wasn't really bound by logic in any way. The rest is history.
