Looking at the leg configuration and facial expressions closely, I'm coming to the conclusion that there is no way they're not supposed to be loving.

 This isn't half as ugly as other examples in this thread, but Persona 3's original North American cover is what I would call badly designed minimalism. The box art was so minimalist that I can't imagine most people knew what the gently caress this was supposed to be back in '06. Hell, they could've made the cover completely blank except for the words "that jrpg you only heard about because it involves teenagers shooting themselves in the head" and I would've considered it an improvement.  This is the Japanese cover. Anime style isn't universally appealing of course but I think it's safe to say this one leaves more of an impression.

The US one is a "5 minutes with Photoshop" level of bad, but the Japanese one is a mess in its own right, I had to look at it for a little bit to figure out what is supposed to be going on there and having never played those games I'm still not totally sure.

They're both passable. Let's be honest, the only good covers are the PAL version, the PAL/Japanese version of FES, and the PSP version, which is the same no matter the region.

The main thing that annoys me is the P3 PERSONA3 thing but designers putting both the title and abbreviated title on covers and promotional art has been a pet peeve of mine since Independence Day aka ID4. In the same vein is this cover:  It's actually a great cover but FIVE written over the roman numeral always makes me chuckle. They definitely did not want dumb gamers calling it "GTA Vee."

Looking at it some more there is the small gun just next to the ID logo, so it's like there is meant to be a THIRD guy in the fight.

The Kins posted:"Allez Cuisine!" *takes bite out of high explosive*  That's quite some box art for such a cartoony game.For contrast, here's the art for the US NES version, the PAL version,  and the Famicom version.  I love how fuckin' goofy that PAL one is.    Mighty Bomb Jack is a great game, because if you collect too many powerups without using them, it tells you that you're greedy and sends you to a torture room.

P3's Japanese cover is a bit busy, sure, but I still feel it was a worse idea to use a minimalist cover when a) the title didn't have enough brand recognition to pull it off and b) the visual elements they put on the front aren't particularly appealing on their own. The cover also breaks a few design rules, like the rule of thirds (there's absolutely nothing worth looking at in the lower third) and using silhouettes when the characters are not recognizable simply from their shape. Whatever, it's still a semi acceptable cover, it's just that the game itself has strong visual design so I don't know why they didn't try harder to demonstrate that with the box art.

999 Japanese box: 999 US box:  Both are good/fine in their own ways. However, both got re-releases that are...not good. Japanese 'the best' reprint:  US 'Zero Escape' rebrand reprint:  The US one in particular feels like 20 minutes in Photoshop.

Rebel Star: Tactical Command has two covers from what I've seen. The alt front cover   Which is preety fine in itself but then the actual front cover.   Looks like a lovely JPEG you see in one of those popscare flash 'horror' games. bloodychill posted:The Gorky17 box I kind of like. It's minimalist but not in a bad way. Eh I don't know. To me I have no idea what it is exactly other then it's just red melty flesh.  I mean compared to the Eastern Europe cover it's a lot more noticeable on what it's suppose to be. kirbysuperstar posted:Japanese 'the best' reprint: Has there ever been a case where a game has a cover of a cover within another cover?

Sigma-X posted:our money literally does this on the back, look at a $1 bill. I figured they were using a money theme because of the etching on the top left part of the V and that old fiver someone posted shows it but I maintain they still went with that motif to head off ambiguity with the title. More covers. Someone thought this was a good idea and John Madden agreed. In fairness it was because I can't not smile when I see it.  The case for Yoshi being high as a kite:
