Daily reminder that Americans have ruined everything they touched

Except for the majority of the time, because rentals or just because Vic Ireland fucking says so

Not always the case, OP. In fact sometimes the challenge is ramped up.

The "American" one is actually British. It's also '80s as fuck and I love it.

>>3988964
If you don't like the American cover better, then get out of my face.

from my experience it was the opposite: decap attack, contra: hard corps, working design localizations, dynamite headdy, streets of rage 3, castlevania: bloodlines, they're all much harder than their japanese counterparts

thanks for the reminder I would have forgotten otherwise

Notice those are all Sega games? Sega of America wanted to push a Hardcore image for marketing.

>>3989041
They still censored many games though

OP is a salty palfag, but correct about the box art. Western art was hands down worse than Japanese.

>>3989112
Well if you're going to make the jp box arts look like a pixelated mess then yeah.

On the up side, when you hit 18 you might change your shit opinion.

Yeah. Had a massive impact on nothing and even less on anything anyone cares about.

Seems pretty balanced in this case to me

This image solely has to do with marketing and the fact that it is better to market games as kick fucking ass rather then as cute images. If you are a fucking kid and you have just enough to buy a new game with your friends which one will you pick the cute pig holding a ball or the pig that wants to kick ass holding a ball?

Which one would you pick if you only could buy one game?
>Play the original Japanese versions of games and enjoy a whole new world of friendliness and hope,
The thing with Japanese games is typically they are in Japanese and you would have to learn it to do shit if you are a fag who complains about emulation.

Not everyone is gonna learn a new non spoken and even worse fedora tipping language just to play video games and if they still play the games they will just use emulators with english translation to it.
>and face challenges that were dumbed down because American kids were deemed too stupid and lazy to figure them out.
If this was true then a good portion of the NES library would have never been released since a good deal of NES games kick your ass here (ninja gaiden. the second legend of zelda, the contra games, castlevania franchise, anything by LJN, mega man franchise, ghosts and goblins etc)

The only thing you are whining about is that Nintendo put a fucking different game instead of the original smb2

It's a bomb, not a ball.

That even better a kickass pig that blows up shit vs a cute pig with a bomb.

Most western boxarts were awful back then.

That Dracula X boxart is pretty rad, though.

It's just the PC Engine Rondo of Blood boxart recycled for the Super NES version. I'm guessing they made the US boxart before they decided to produce a new boxart for JP and EU versions.

>>3989041

Looks like they actually backed up the image then.

How babbymode is the Japanese version then? I've been playing through DH recently and a hard game it isn't.

also I always thought SoR3 was made a little easier in the west?

>>3989667
Much easier, download the rom and check for yourself, there are graphical differences too.

I still laugh at how few people know that nip mario 3 doesn't let you keep super if you got hit while powered up.

You start with 2 continues in the Japanese version as opposed to 0 in the International version.

In Stair Wars, Trouble Bruin takes 8 hits instead of 4 and has a much less predictable attack pattern.

The nasty gatekeeper boss in Headdy Wonderland has 17 hits instead of 9.

Twin Freaks only takes damage in the centre of the ear (the whole ear is damageable in the Japanese version), but to make up for it, the International version only takes 17 hits instead of 33.

Finally, Dark Demon has 17 hits in the International version, instead of 9.
