I'll go first: Super Castlevania IV

I love this one. Super atmospheric, just like the game. Lots of foreshadowing regarding the environments and villains. Dripping with detail, like most of Tom Dubois' other works for Konami in the '80s and '90s. It's just like what I imagined the game world would be like in my 7-year-old mind. I even commissioned a shadowbox of this one.

Honorable mention to Contra III: The Alien Wars, another incredible cover by Dubois.

What about you, GAF? What's your favorite videogame box art/cover and why?

This is pretty much the GOAT.

On a less serious note, any game cover that puts T&A front and center since that's somehting you almost never see anymore.

Tough one, there's a lot I like. I will admit I'm an absolute sucker for the art in Zelda: Twilight Princess though and the boxart is really nice:

I also like the 'Yin/Yang' theme of it.

Modern box art does nothing for me really. The best time for box art was 80/90's. Some of it was pure art

Maybe not 90's but I loved the Vietcong box art. It captured the Vietnam vibe well..

Anything published by Nintendo. Here are a couple of my favorites, but I could have picked anything.

I love Haven's box art a great deal. Too bad the physical game is getting pricey since it only got a release through LRG.

I have a few other favorites as well which I'll be posting a bit latter when I have the time.

Oki, so here's a few other recent ones I absolutely love (some of them I already have in my physical collection):

Thats one game I thought would be a bit rubbish but I enjoyed it quite a bit. The chemistry of the two characters was really well done I thought. It's a damn shame it wasnt more well met.

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

It's hard to say which is my all time favorite since I have so many preferences, so instead I'll list a few more of the ones I love.

I always hated this one because it triggered the autistic tendencies in me. Marle can NOT cast a fire spell.

Yeah, I guess that it released very close to the launch of the next-gen consoles, so it's gotten a bit overlooked. I've enjoyed as well quite a lot especially due to the good chemistry between the two main characters. It also has quite the awesome soundtrack.



Love this song, the visuals and its direction. ^^

Tis a great track indeed. I love games that try something different, it's exactly what gaming used to be about

[MudoSkills]

Big fan of the late 90s/early 2000s SNK art posted above, as well as the Calstlevania artist from SOTN onwards - Aria of Sorrow being a great example.

I also used to really like stop motion animation (lots of Ray Harryhausen films as a kid) and always loved the cover for Plok.

Some older ones but both looked so awesome back in the day.
