All of them were bleh till I got down to GT4. Awesome box.

GT4 (and AW 1+2) are the only ones that fit the meaning of 'bleh'. Mario Party 6 maybe not be the best boxart, but it not 'dull'.

Naturally.

:rolleyes

That Mario Party 6 boxart is pretty awesome. The Minish Cap box could be a little better though.

 

[Rlan]

Wait, Princess Daisy is on the 'dark' side of the cover artwork?

I wish Intelligent Systems would just go ahead and just fricken explain who the hell she is. Yeah, she was who you saved back in Super Mario Land on the Game Boy and supposedly is the Princess of "Sarasaland", but other than that, nothing is known about her, and other than being a color swap for Peach she's nothing.

We've been to Beanbean Kingdom, and I'm assuming heaps of other places in the Paper Mario games, but surely someone can give her a bit of a personality.

Yes. It's so awesome is fucking goddamn boring. How could you not think the MP6 art is awesome? It's just saying, "I'm fun, play me" not, "I'm the boring assend of a car against a white backdrop"

 

[explodet]

:lol :lol

The changes Sony makes to US characters for the Japanese market can have hilarious results.

There's nothing screaming fun about them shoving every character they've made on a box.

GT4's is just stylish.

 

[SantaC]

haha look at waluigi in the right corner.

Well, I think the GT4 art (if you could call it that) is ugly and boring. I'll take the chaos that is MP6, with shoving every character in there. And if you want style then the 1080 GC JPN boxart is the way to go.

 

[jarrod]

Game Boy Wars 1+2 Advance is stylish... GT4 is just clinical. Sorta like the games themselves.

What's so awesome about a plain white cover with the backside of a car? *confused*

S-t-y-l-i-s-h

Sometimes it pays not to try so hard. Just do something simple. It works for certain games. Zeldas work with a solid gold backing with the logo layered over, MGS worked with a solid wide cover with the logo layered over. Not everything needs to be a giant rainbow of colors.

 

[belgurdo]

Too bad the game won't be as cool as the box

Just no...I wasn't aware they allowed fanartish looking pieces on boxes (La Pucelle US being a sad exception.) They need to fire Inomata already

 

[john tv]

That GB Wars Advance box is uncharacteristically hideous for Nintendo. I wonder who the heck thought that would look appealing... blech!

 

[cvxfreak]

Mario Party 6 is looking good!

 

[kitchenmotors]

That GT4 box is fucking crappy. Who in the right mind decided to crop the car in such an awkward way? It's got amateur written all over it.

The GT4 boxart is like a 5 minute job in photoshop. The Zelda boxart is class. Someone's hard work and soul went into that painting. The GT4 boxart is without a soul.

And if anything is meh in this thread, it's a certain someone's posts.

 

[radios shipping overview]

WTF? Super Real Mahjong on GBA? Well, I guess they've cut other erogame ports for content (see Pia Carrot)...

what the hell else do you need?

oh, and hudson makes mario party

More like tears...

 

[Saint Cornelius]

goddamn I wish there was more information on MP6, other than the mic and the box art. anyone have any screen shots?

 

[ImNotLikeThem]

theres TONS of screens all over the place. Just check something like IGN, they just updated recently with a bunch.

 

[MetatronM]

The Minish Cap boxart is easily the best of the bunch.

By a wide margin.

And :lol @ Ratchet and Clank.

Hey, I like it... reminds me of the NGPC.

 

[u_neek]

vs.

I think I like the US one better...

 

[u_neek]

...... And what do we get?!

 

[jarrod]

The US one is better... the JP version is trying to hard to strike a balance... it looks like something a freshman design major would slap together.

The game would have to be quite possibly the most uncool game on the planet to not be as cool as that box

 

[Blackace]

ok... besides the fact that I am a history (Japanese) major....does anyone else see a problem with this title?

 

[u_neek]

yeah, that box sux balls - still better than your average US cover tho..

 

[DeEJaYMiND]

Is that a Spitfire ?? If it is them is really strange that a game that is called ZERO PILOT SERIES doesn’t show a Mitsubishi Zero on the cover....... i think

 

[Drakken]

What the heck is that? A dating game?

Ahhh, I was too lazy to actually LOOK. Thanks for letting me know.

 

[Mairu]

Fuck, I'd give anything to see this come out here.

 

[Sagitario]

I really like the logo... but I'm not crazy about the art... looks meh!

 

[Baron Aloha]

I was going to post the same thing.

I like the cover for MP6. I hope they use it for the US version.

 

[radios shipping overview]

What the heck is that? A dating game?

Mahjong. It's based on a long series of strip mahjong games, but in this version, when you defeat a girl you choose what costume she has to wear instead.

the mario party art is tacky and awful. the CG's fine, but the backdrop is hideous and it's way too cluttered and haphazard. yech. way too busy. no regard for aesthetic.

personally the GT4 one is super stylin' IMO.

i quite like the minish cap one, great composition and colors.

and the TOR one is surprisingly stylish and nice.
