They should make the panda a bigger focus.

He reminds me of Totoro.

Do you not like porn artists in your JRPG?

Well, it's worked out well for Growlanser.

Well, it's worked out well for Growlanser.

And Langrisser. <3

What slow death? It died instantly. Shining Force 3 was amazing and everything after it has been consistently shit

Reminds me of Panda Go Panda, a Miyazaki show

I can't read kanji yet, but is that "Happy Charlie and the Something Carnival"?

 

[faridmon]

That GT5 box art must be one of the ugliest, if not the ugliest GT boxart ever.

 

[Jasconius]

These look so pretty but I'm guessing they are visual novels and thus have no chance of a Western release?

fake edit: yeah the first one definitely is. Can't google anything about the second game though...

Well this PSP version probably isn't coming out here, but the PC all-ages version of Aselia the Eternal is actually already out from JAST USA.

I like how the Boss is on it but nothing beats a Shinkawa one.

So good

 

[Desmond]

Where's the Shinkawa?

 

[distantmantra]

Gundam Unicorn special edition

[ACESmkII]

I will definitely be purchasing that. Hopefully it's better than ACE R.

[cj_iwakura]

Little late to be getting Black Square, ain't it, Japan?

 

[StayDead]

Which 'genius' made that "Boku wa tomodachi ga sukunai" game? And who's sad enough to buy that?

It's a VN and erm... I'm buying it.

 

[Takao]

Second time someone stole my avatar art...

BD on a BD

kikikiki

 

[sixteen-bit]

Taking "generic" to new lows with that BD art :/

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Is that Binary Domain or an ad for one of those video game schools?

They need to tighten up the box art in Region 2

 

[Ra1den]

Taking "generic" to new lows with that BD art :/

Everything I've seen about the game seems to indicate that this generic boxart is appropriate.

 

[XenoRaven]

At least we know that if any meat needs to be tenderized on the battlefield, that guy has the right gun for the job.

wow just noticed that . WTF

[vareon]

Is this harvest moon? The artwork made it look like a generic kid's game to me.

 

[Curufinwe]

How old is the girl on the left Idol Master cover supposed to be? She looks like she's about 9.

 

[dragonlife]

Haha. I remember the commercial you're referencing.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Sounds about right.

 

[Gameboy415]

These will be mine!

Here's hoping Shinrei Camera gets localized though - we're waaaay overdue for a new Fatal Frame game in the US!

 

[Takao]

Sometimes it's best not to ask these questions.

Its classic Harvest Moon artwork.

 

[Takao]

So "NEXT" for Vita games is going to become a thing... Well there's only going to be a small handful of Vita games from here on out anyways, on account of you know, it being dead and all.

Also the font reminds me of Gundam SEED.

 

[rpmurphy]

There's a bandaid on her thigh-high socks.

I presume publishers are trying to warn consumers that the Vita is already dead, so the "NEXT" on these boxes means, like, "move along, get something else instead".

 

[Hasemo]

Not everyone can afford new socks you know.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Also, not a game, but... must... post!

That's true.

 

[Takao]

Gundam games on PSP forever.

 

[distantmantra]

Gundam games on PSP forever.

Fine with me, don't see myself getting a 3DS or Vita any time soon.

 

[[Nintex]]

There's a bandaid on her thigh-high socks.

She took an arrow to the knee.

Which is what it has become nowadays.

Should be around 14.

I thought Japan could do no wrong when it came to boxarts. I am disappoint.

 

[Erigu]

Then again, the game is obviously trying to go for a more global (read "Western") aesthetic... Mission accomplished, I guess!

 

[Slamtastic]

There's your problem.
