What are the worst examples of game box art getting localized?
>>748973030You should post one first, OP. The localized box art is still kino even if it's completely off model.
megaman
They threw away the art and all the logo details and made it bland as fuck
Bomberman Hero got butchered pretty hard. The US one isn't bad, it's just so much worse than the JP.>BOMBERMAN IN HIS LATEST ADVENTUREEven as a kid, I thought "that's the best tagline they could come up with?"
>>748973291They did this for every Zelda game until the 2000s. Wind Waker was (i think) the first to have more than just the logo on the US box art, but even then it's blended heavily with the gold background.
>>748973030That one is so ludicrously different that it wraps back around to kino. It's the kind of shit the Jacks would WANT on the cover of their video game.
Basically any game where the European piece is some interesting abstract art and the US piece is man with gun.
>>748973731this, that's the kind of impression I getthat it's a silly exaggerated fantasy of what they would want their videogame cover to look like
>>748973205Only true for the first two games, after that capcom bitchslapped the US division and made them use more on-model art
>>748973030the right is more in-character for them, especially Frost's face accidentally getting covered by the logo
why do yankees need to destroy everything that is beautiful and turn it into bestiality?
>>748973030
>>748975502>NA literally just re-used the same exact artwork for the sequel
>>748975846Both games also have nothing to do with each other
>>748974826This cover was so infamous in Japan that boys would try to hide it with other stuff since they wouldn't want to be seen buying a bright pink box.
>>748975958eeeeeerm false actually they are both shmups
>>748973030what were they thinking
>>748976609honestly both are goodoriginal is game-accurate, localized has that gaudy western art style giving it extra sovl
>>748973030>>748973291>>748976961>>748973570right is better>>748974826second is best>>748976609both are okay>>748976891japan is definitely the best>>748976793lmao

>>748973030So, I'm asking because previous anon got zero answers: what happened to jack ripper?
>>748978375He simply doesn't show up in the games very often. Also he was first introduced in SMT 2 while Frost and Pyro were introduced in MT 2.

>>748978449Honestly, the eye on the sword makes it work.

Who advised all these Japanese companies to replace anime art style with something else?Could have been just my country but all the kids loved watching 80s anime on VHS tapes that were passed around.

>>748973082I hate how "kino" is only used ironically here now.
No Phalanx yet?
>>748974826the NES one is actually still pretty soul. PSP is dogshit though yea
>>748973030To be fair, everyone but the Jacks are off-model on the left.
