On the other hand "diabolical" is the better translation of the original title ("Akuma no Hako"), and I would say it also sounds nicer.

Plus I know "hur hur Americans are dumb" is an easy shot but Pandora's box is far from obscure even to Americans. I think they just elected to go with the literal translation for the US version and the European publishers decided on something else.

Honestly I'd think "diabolical" in a children's game would go over worse than Pandora's box.
