Palpable Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Dreamworks is the worst offender of this by far. I've always felt like those movies are very 90's in some ways; must be the baditude factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalzon Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Here's an interesting comparison. Note that back when I bought this game, it was still a little embarrassing. This is the NA box art. And this is the Japanese box art. They're replaced all of Dewy's little similar villager friends with all the monsters, and got rid of the rainbow in the title logo. Dewy's body is also made to look shinier and more like chrome than on the japanese box. That said the game was a pretty challenging platformer and Dewy was still adorable, making all sorts of baby noises. D'awww. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soma Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Didn't they add weird bushy eyebrows to Ratchet in Japan? I remember it being the opposite than what usually happens like with Kirby. EDIT: Yep.. they did http://playstation.joystiq.com/2007/06/06/japanese-ratchet-ad-is-like-totally-kawaii/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Umm... to quote Dane Cook here, that dolphin is a 'BAMF'. He's just itching to kick the shit out of underwater... stuff. I like the Japanese jelly thrown in there, though - keepin' it real for all of us. I'm sorry, but I've gotta say the American version of River City Ransom is way better than the Japanese version, there. It doesn't make up for the crap we did to poor Kirby, though .

Strike911 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 And of course, the worst offender is... effin dolphin. Even the sea turtle and the fish look smug. It's like an underwater douche fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloGamer Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'm sorry, but I've gotta say the American version of River City Ransom is way better than the Japanese version, there. I actually kind of wish the photorealistic painting style of vg covers would make a comeback. I'd buy a game in an instant if I saw a cover like that on the racks of Gamestop.

cobaltstarfire Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 It's a little sad, but that turtle on the ecco cover isn't even a sea turtle. I'd like to go back in time and slap the cover artist please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoloGamer Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Ah yes good ol' Street Fighter II Turbo cover art. I'm more partial to the Special Championship Edition cover. Bison's such an asshole, kicking Guile in the middle of his boom, messing up his hair, all the while sarcastically flashing peace signs in his face. regular SFII comes a close second, for limpwrist Ryu and rapeface Blanka.

The Mutericator Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The greatest offender by far: before Kingdom Hearts turned Mickey goth, we got this: http://i3.iofferphoto.com/img/item/950/336/41/o_sWHVX4wvTXGZggA.jpg And yes, it's the same art on the cover of the box (but I can't find a decent image of it).

M Bison is just doing a Nixon impression... it's cool guys. edit: ALSO, if I didn't know the move that Bison was doing, one might assume he's just sitting on a crate in a very flamboyant fashion.

WTF why Chun-Li has no thunder thighs and also, it's been a while since I've seen both artwork. Thanks for the memories. It's not box art but it's official art with the main character and his smirk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
