you were warned posted:Bad Master System box art is endless. Well they won't ever be accused of false advertising. I heard somewhere that the reason the original NES game boxes were just screenshots was because people were skeptical after years of misleading boxes so Nintendo decided to play it safe and never be accused of it.

The idea of advertising the number of "screens" in your game is really bizzare sounding now.

Edit: I'm not saying the Japanese art is particularly special in this case (the first game's was much more striking) but simple and mediocre is a lot better than loud and obnoxious.

Can this thread also include games that totally misrepresent themselves? Remember all of those awesome FMV movies that were used to sell games up until like the middle of the PS3 era where the games looked good enough to sell themselves? I always think of Onumusha 3 which had an awesome hype building FMV trailer which had nothing to do with the game where Japanese demons attack France somehow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__gqkaqhtl8
