Not bad at all, I like the colors of the Starfox cover.

February

You're kidding me!? I thought it was coming in June/July...or are you talking about the Japanese version now?

 

[Mr_Furious]

That's the "collector's edition" (no clue why yet) but you can always opt for the the regular version instead.

 

[Riskbreaker]

U.S. version..Give me a sec and i'll find you a press release!

edit: the search function is working properly..Sorry about that

edit 2: I couldn't find the press release but here is a quote from gamespot, "The game is scheduled for a spring 2005 release in Japan and a Q1 2005 release in the US. No pricing or ratings information was released."

Eh, nothing good there. SFA is about the best of them and then I'd only describe it as decent (nice logo though).

 

[cvxfreak]

I really like SFA's boxart. Very nice.

 

[Vargas]

Tekken 5 looks nice. Star Fox is awful.

 

[Coen]

Well, it's nice to see Racing Gears Advance will get a release. Now, buy it!

 

[AlphaSnake]

Tekken! HOT! 5! HOT! HOT HOT HOT!

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

[APerfectCircle]

r....r.c. pro-am?!? is...is that you?

 

[Socreges]

I downloaded a video from IGN of it [Racing Gears Advance]. Looks closer to Rock n' Roll Racing. Got me interested.

 

[Hermit]

Hm, I wasn't aware that Banjo Pilot got a release anyway. Does it still sport the tilt feature?

That's Rare. Rare's retro days are long gone. Banjo Pilot is Rare's new RC Pro AM.

Me too! :lol

Wow, it's having 10 pixels more than the other top-down racing games on GBA!!!111 Genre defined!

 

[Miburou]

Jin has been monopolizing the Tekken games' covers since Tekken 3.

 

[monkeyrun]

jesus christ ... starfox's finally coming out ?

 

[worldrunover]

I'd like SFA's boxart much more if Fox wasn't on there and looking like a jackass.

Honestly, what was wrong with a SSB Melee-esque Fox?

 

[radioheadrule83]

I think Fox looks great. Both the Adventures & Assault game have quite movie-poster like qualities. I think... nay I know, I'm gonna like Assault more as an overall package.

Although I did play SFAdventures recently. To test out the new television. Still looks red hot!

Play it before you judge it, Axel.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Play it before you judge it, Axel.

It's just a joke reference to the sentence in the quote . It's not like there are top-down racers on GBA that can be called sensational.

 

[Doogdogg]

StarFox box is ugly.

 

[Chittagong]

Also,

>>>>>>>>>> *100^8 >>

What the hell is wrong with all these companies cramming so much shit to covers? Have they done a focus group that tells that the more stuff you fit to the cover the better the game sells?

 

[Jacobi]

Will Banjo Pilot actually release ?

 

[Suikoguy]

that splinter cell boxart sucks

 

[Crazymoogle]

Subtlety on GAF doesn't go anywhere, it seems.

????? = look at the release date for .co.uk.

It shipped in the UK on friday (apparently?). US release date seems to be as listed on EBgames.

Never thought it would ship under cover of darkness, but... enjoy

 

[Cimarron]

That Star Fox cover kinda sucks ass. I hope the game doesn't teh suck.

 

[sammy]

It sux so much, most game cover arts today look like some 3DO bargan-bin chunk ...... Cramming EVERYTHING into one tiny print.
Gotta sell the concept to anyone other than the audience that knows about it I guess.....

akkk... tasteless

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

The Splinter Cell box would look decent without the Clancy stripe.

 

[cubicle47b]

It's not like there are top-down racers on GBA that can be called sensational.

The GBA has a port of Rock N' Roll Racing.

 

[Defensor]

The GBA has a port of Rock N' Roll Racing.

That isn't really a top-down racer rather a isometric view IMHO.

 

[cubicle47b]

Well, neither is RC Pro-Am (or this game for that matter). It's close enough, though.

edit: I guess the difference in viewing angle is much bigger than I thought...

It's not about having a lot of stuff on the cover, no, it's all about having an explosion, or two, on the cover.

Remember:

Well, I'm not in sales, but I did learn one thing from Full Throttle. Put a big explosion on the box! Psychonauts is going to have two explosions on the cover, so it will probably sell twice as much as Throttle.

[FriScho]

The only good looking cover.. too bad I have no clue what game that is about. The name of the game sux
