I don't think I've ever seen so much awful box art posted in a single thread. Not even in those "bad box art" threads. That Sly 2 cover is a travesty.

I mean look at this shit:

 

[otheranthony-ns]

Mario pinball land? GBA?

i'm in.

 

[Deg]

Not the real boxart ofcourse. Gameplay movies look awesome. Its abit like Odama but platform typish in a way. The picture sort of describes it.

 

[DECK'ARD]

Spherical Mario upsets me.

 

[Chittagong]

Is this the new GBA package format rumoured a while ago?

It was trialed in some territories ages ago. This looks more like a flyer as it has a bar code at the bottom, protruding image and such.

mario pinball land is surprisingly bad - they've used huge sprites and a weird angled view, which makes for tiny, uneventful playfields. shame too, as kirby's pinball land and the pokemon pinball games were excellent.

That Spyro box is way too awesome for its own good.

Sly 2's boxart looks pretty crappy. Guardian Heroes could use a better logo

 

[Kiriku]

I agree that most of them are bad. :/

Sly 2 looks strange (the first one had much better box-art).
Juiced and Crash plays in the same "ugly-as-hell-neon-green" league.
Guardian Heroes Advance could indeed use a better logo. That one's too hard to read.
And WTF is up with that Star Wars Trilogy box? Did they just give up halfway?
The Spyro box is kinda cool, with the exception of the actual character art.

 

[Matlock]

Out of those, I like only one boxart, and that's Budokai 3. :-\

 

[impirius]

The mushroom is coming out of the ? block, but the block is clearly still active... NINTENDO OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT IT'S DOING

I agree. Someone post the Japanese (or was it Euro) cover of Sly 1 to make it all better

 

[Bluemercury]

i dont believe you

whats this?

That's actually a game from the guy who found Retro Studios, keep forgetting his name......he created a new company which i also dont know the name of.....but judging by the cover it might be something a la sims???

It's a trivia game with titties. They're going straight for the drunk guy crowd.

Bring Advance Gunstar Heroes, you bastards!

 

[Bluemercury]

Well it probably will suck.....Nintendo spanked him really hard at Retro because of his inability to make a working game and not some real time demos......i remember reading reports of him giving parties with top less ladys while Nintendo was paying him to make games.....hilarious stuff......i guess this game might be his background story at those times....

i'm in.

Ditto.

 

[Memles]

Mario Pinball...looks odd and uninteresting to me. Like pinball, but you just...hit things.

I'm aware that's the point of Pinball, but it seems more like "Hit Mario through trouble" than points scoring to me. Blah.

On the other hand, they really should revert to small DVD cases for GBA Games...because that cover works, despite being not the real cover.

 

[cvxfreak]

Nice Mario Pinball boxart!

 

[explodet]

C'mon, who wants to make the first "frozen in carbonite" remark?

 

[ferricide]

the guardian heroes logo is based on the japanese saturn one, which is nicely consistent for those who give a shit.

that looks a bit nicer though, eh?

 

[Bog]

C'mon, who wants to make the first "frozen in carbonite" remark?

Uhh. No?

 

[Diomedeskun]

Looking forward to Kirby and The Bard's Tale. I want to play Phantom Brave, but the deluge of Strategy RPGs has left me a little burnt out on them.

Hmm interesting, the original still looks better though...the GBA one is plain in colors

 

[jarrod]

Looks like Advance Guardian Heroes has single cart multiplayer. Nice.

What a luck that I live in Europe^^

 

[swoon]

the bongos' box is real nice.

 

[Guzim]

Is that Jim Breuer?

 

[Grizzlyjin]

the bongos' box is real nice.

Backyard Wrestling 2?

 

[StrikerObi]

This looks like it was drawn by a fucking furry artist. All it's missing is a 12 foot penis.

 

[FortNinety]

Who did they one? Drew Struzan?

Here's something else for comparisons sake:

 

[DMczaf]

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Fuck yeah.

 

[belgurdo]

wtf? Harry Potter: Episode II?

 

[fennec fox]

I think I'll be buying both LSL and The Guy Game for my niece this Christmas.

 

[Speevy]

Those are some powerful farts Mario's packing.

 

[Sho Nuff]

The Sambo de Amigo maracas's box kicks the ever-loving shit out of this garbage

 

[Coen]

I love it. Does anyone know where I can find some high-res art of this?
