Because the world is fucked and the protagonist gets branded a terrorist. Funnily, the cover art is really unrealistic, PS2 looks very utopian and bright in the actual game.

Of course the english cover art was more like... fuck, I dunno, a messed up post-apoc book series cover.

I'd guess they wanted the SNES games to stand out from the NES library and they went for an standarized horizontal design; then they just kept it going for the N64 since it was by then a signature.

In Japan they used to allow either vertical or horizontal designs for SF games at least

Pretty much this. Remember that back then most kid-parent conversations would've been just like this:

I was just kidding, best one is probably the original JP one.

really? I love this shit, it takes something you woudn't normally take seriously and makes you realize that the people who made these games weren't just kids, but people who really wanted you to think about the games you played, the game they made, not just as a quick fun romp, but maybe something a little more, it's a nice touch.

That makes enough snse. For me I think it is that I am sort of at a personal crossroads in life right now, and sonic games were a part of my early childhood memories, so I go in for comforting nostalgia and end up getting discomforting thoughts instead. But I can appreciate your perspective as well, mine is likely just tainted by aforementioned reflective period.

interesting tidbit: balloon kid wasn't released in Japan, but the colorized version balloon fight gb was released there, and nowhere else. Also, there's an official famicom game called "Hello Kitty World" that is a straight copy of Balloon Kid, just with Sanrio characters.

With Zelda games they used to outsource promo and box art to animation studios until around Ocarina of Time. Seems like a pretty common composition concept, It's probably just a coincidence.

Reminds me of Terranigma though in that one the illustration is actually depicting a location in the game and it's not just a cool stylization thing

>>4510308
I don't pretend to argue that you are wrong, since I don't know that much about how coverart is made for games. You might be right about Zelda, and I'd have no issue with that. I just feel like with these boxarts, especially the ones for Mario Land 2 and Balloon Fight GB, that it looks as if one person did both of them, and I'd love to find out who it was, if that's possible.

I find it interesting that you say it is not an isolated style either, I've not seen other works like it. I'll have to look for more.

There's little confirmation about it; either he's super versatile (which could very well be the case) or he actually didn't make some of the stuff that's usually attributed to him: i.e. almost every Mario cover artwork plus a couple of Zeldas and other ton of stuff as a Google image search shows

The recent Zelda artbook claims most of the pre OoT artwork was commissioned to animation studios and suchlike and was not done internally, but it's not really confirmed or anything, it's basically a passing remark >>4510308. Kotabe most likely did make most classic Mario cover art from the nineties (maybe this as well then >>4510053) , but there's a ton of misinformation about it around. I always thought he did the original SMB cover art, but turns out Miyamoto did that one himself, which is pretty fucking impressive

I'm trying to get a hold of the Encyclopaedia Super Mario Bros. but I'm not that hopeful it actually list proper credit listings for the artwork

The only time Luke used a lightsaber in A New Hope was in the short perception training sequence. In literally every action scene Luke is on foot, he exclusively used a blaster. It wasn't until the next movie that Luke started using a lightsaber in combat, and even then he still used a blaster at times. It wasn't until Return of the Jedi that Luke used a lightsaber as his exclusive sidearm.
