Post terrible art from boxes and manuals or any other art that doesn't represent a game well.

Alex Kidd's JP boxart looks great, but it makes the game look like an obvious Super Mario Bros. clone.

Yeah, true.
I only wish it got an obvious Super Mario World clone on the Genesis, and an obvious Super Mario 64 clone on the Saturn. If you're going to be a knock-off series you may as well be a great one.

Many places hold up the index/middle/thumb to represent 3 instead of index/middle/ring like the US does.

I guess he's pointing to the Mega Drive label with his other hand.
