Board 8 > Bosco Tiers VIDEO GAME BOX ART

(+) Yeah! (+)

Video game box art is the name of the game today. I'm surprised I didn't come up with this idea before - who doesn't love poking fun at bad cover art?

-One game per person per update.
-Feel free to suggest box art from other regions! Some of the best cover art ever is from foreign territories.
-Nothing profane, please. :P
-There are five tiers. Get a game in each tier, and you'll receive the game with the greatest cover art ever: PHALANX. )

Alright, let's do this!

WORTHY OF AN IMPULSE BUY

-[JPN] Dark Souls (Stunning.)
-[NA] Super Smash Bros. (I love the old Smash Bros. art style - it's very nostalgic. Link and the fan gets me every time!)

REALLY IMPRESSIVE

-[NA] Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy (Sweeeet. And I'm not even an FF fan!)
-[NA] Dragon Warrior (Beast!)

SOLID

-[NA] Final Fantasy X (You would suggest this, Leon. :P)

AT LEAST IT'S BETTER THAN "ANTICIPATION" >_>

-[US] Golden Sun (Not a big fan, though Dark Dawn's boxart is slick!)
-[ALL] Mario Kart Wii (A pretty lazy effort, though it's at least better than MKDS.)

DID THE COVER DESIGNERS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE BLOODY GAME?!?

-[EU] Mega Man II (Classic Mega Man covers... they're something else, man!)

The problem with aiming for low tiers with Bosco is that he generally loves the things you think he should think are awful.

If it were that easy you could just do the opposite of what you think.

LOL!!!! I hope that's a joke....names don't get more n00bish than that

WORTHY OF AN IMPULSE BUY

-[JPN/EU] Ico (There's a very good chance that this is the best video game box art ever made.)
-[JPN] Dark Souls
-[NA] Super Smash Bros.
-[NA] Attack of the Mutant Camels (I laughed for ages after seeing this. I know it's awful, but it's awful in the most awesome way possible.)

REALLY IMPRESSIVE

-[NA] Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy
-[JPN] Dragon Quest (Haha, this is so retro. Awesome. :D)
-[NA] Dragon Warrior
-[EU/AU] Resident Evil 4 (Probably the best RE4 cover. Though I like NA's too.)

SOLID

-[NA] Final Fantasy X
-[NA] Final Fantasy VII (Has an old-school charm to it.)

AT LEAST IT'S BETTER THAN "ANTICIPATION" >_>

-[US] Golden Sun
-[ALL] Mario Kart Wii
-Dr. Mario 64 (Not awful, but kind of dismal, I guess. I don't like the virus designs.)

DID THE COVER DESIGNERS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE BLOODY GAME?!?

-[NA] Phalanx (I can't decide if this is one of the best covers ever, or one of the worst. I think it might be both.)
-[EU] Mega Man Zero 2 (Compared to the US and JPN covers, this looks really cheap.)
-[EU] Mega Man II
-[NA] Anticipation (UGH)

He even lied about Phalanx!

From Wikipedia (I know, lol wikipedia)
The box art designers later admitted that they had deliberately chosen this theme in order to attract the customer with something original considering there were many space shooters in the market that looked alike.

Haha, awesome. It definitely sticks out, that's for sure...!

WORTHY OF AN IMPULSE BUY

-[JPN/EU] Ico
-[NA] Dead Rising (Definitely one of my favorites. The American version is miles ahead of the other regions' boxarts!)
-[JPN] Dark Souls
-[NA] Super Smash Bros.
-[NA] Attack of the Mutant Camels

REALLY IMPRESSIVE

-[NA] Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy
-[JPN] Dragon Quest
-[NA] Dragon Warrior
-[EU/AU] Resident Evil 4
-[ALL] Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (Very good boxart. Lots of detail, but not too chaotic either.)
-[NA] Kirby and the Amazing Mirror (Slick. Excellent game, by the way - one of the GBA's finest, and the best in the series.)

SOLID

-[NA] Final Fantasy X
-[NA/EU] Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (Good boxart, one of the best games ever.)
-[NA/EU] Kingdom Hearts (Another solid Square cover.)
-[DE] Mega Man II (Whoa! This is actually pretty cool.)
-[NA] Final Fantasy VII
-[ALL] Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Path of Radiance is quite a bit better. Still though, this is solid enough.)
-[NA] The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Most Zelda games have weak boxart. This is an exception.)

AT LEAST IT'S BETTER THAN "ANTICIPATION" >_>

-[NA] Golden Sun
-[JPN] Pepsiman (I lol'd)
-[ALL] Lunar: Eternal Blue Complete (I'm not a fan of the Lunar series' boxarts. They're just so "meh" to me.)
-[ALL] Mario Kart Wii
-[NA] Dr. Mario 64
-[ALL] Catherine PS3 (On one hand, there's an interesting "Criterion"-esque quality to the cover that you don't see often in the gaming world. On the other hand, though, I have to question the "sex sells" philosophy behind it, as the game itself seems much more mature and complex than this cover indicates.)

DID THE COVER DESIGNERS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE BLOODY GAME?!?

-[NA] Phalanx
-[EU] Mega Man Zero 2
-[EU] Mega Man II
-[NA] Resident Evil: Director's Cut, Greatest Hits Edition (Looks pretty bad. For being a "director's cut" edition, the box looks awfully cheap!)
-[NA] Anticipation
