They don't. Japanese covers are almost always the best, that's just a rare exception.

>>10457252
And Euro covers are usually the same as the Japanese one.

>>10457213
So when do I get to fight Robert Z'dar and his pet dinosaur in the cardboard box factory?

>>10457213
Euros put more money into the cover design to fool you into buying the jankslop

>>10457697
Seems like money well spent.

The Japanese box art for Pikmin is so bland, especially the Switch remakes. I'm glad I have the European version.

Nip cover >

>Japanese covers are almost always the best

That is almost never the case. Usually they have awful artistic decisions for the cover. Japanese covers are almost always cheap looking with weird window-framed art. Whether or not the art itself is good is irrelevant, the aesthetic of the package looks god awful.

>>10457697
americans won't spend any money at all

>>10457768
Maybe if you have no idea what you're talking about.

pic not related?

>>10457775
Very related. Having a gay little shota boy kneeling to suck cock in front of some badly painted environment is wholly inferior.

>>10457760
>That is almost never the case.
Pic unrelated? Japanese cover is way better.

>>10457760
Yea, it's why the American covers for video games tend to become the most iconic ones for them in general. It's why nobody even knows what the Japanese cover for RE1 looks like, but literally EVERYONE remembers that stupid looking rip off of Sylvester Stallone holding that retarded gun.

Japs just can't into aestheticism.

>>10457760
Japanese cover looks better here, as is always the case.

>>10457773
>this a high quality cover in USA

>>10457760
Oof, how will weebs ever recover?

>>10457789
>. It's why nobody even knows what the Japanese cover for RE1 looks like,
I'd wager that the people that actually had that version and grew up with it do remember what it looks like.
>b-b-b-but I've seen the Japanese cover once on a website! That's totally the same!

>>10457797
Stay malding forever ;)

>>10457789
>It's why nobody even knows what the Japanese cover for RE1 looks like
Probably because no cunt owns the Japanese version

>>10457804
The Japanese cover looks like shit. And they can't market for shit. It's why no Japanese film has ever made it onto the top 500 grossing films of all time.

>>10457760
basado

Yea, all the coping retards say the japanese cover looks better are coping. The embossed font over the upside down triangle is kinda neat, but they fuck it all up with that megaman-tier pic below it.

>>10457813
Looks pretty nice actually

>>10457808
american covers

>>10457808
>>10457829
euro covers of the same games (and more)

this is a horror game
photoshop some spider clip-art on there
spiders are scary!

>japanese covers bad
lmao, all the best cover art is from japanese releases or japan exclusive games

>>10457813
They do the based thing of making things for their own market.

>>10457213
(second) best developers too.

>>10457837
It’s so misleading. Like the spiders turn people into zombies or some shit

>>10457829
>>10457835
I circled all the ones in green that I would buy based on the cover alone and all the ones in red I would ignore based on the cover alone.

>>10457841
I think you mean "ripping off Western art, and even then doing a piss-poor job at it"

>>10457876
>ignoring the cowboy one
You're not invited to my birthday party.

>>10457876
funny how you like euro cover of Pickaxe Pete but not the american one

>>10457890
Because it had a better cover. Is that a mystery to you?

Why don't Americans bother much with covers?

How come Americans had the most kino covers?

>>10457960
The Taiwanese version has more soul

>>10457247
Exactly.
Left=Euro
Right=American

>>10457990
>shits it up with a bunch of moon runes
>adds a random cartoon monkey

Absolute pig-disgusting.

>>10458110
more monkey = more soul

>>10457990
Literally cuts it in half. It's literally half as good as the American version, lmao.

>>10458114
Less monkey, since the huge monkey mouth is cropped out of the frame.

>>10458126
fake monkey = anti soul

>>10457880
Boy wait til you find out about a country called Italy.
