It only took 10 games of putting 8bit sprite art on the boxes before they realized it was a bad idea.

Wasn't the cover taken from the Turtles comics?

Every Final Fantasy game, because the title is visible.
>but we haven't played the previous episodes
>ff tactics? must be some add-on for practicing final fantasy.

Yeah, in the comics they all wear red bandanas

This one bothered me. Sonic is on a rail and getting hit by a flipper at the same time

That's how you change which rail you're on

Why? In the original comics they all wear headbands of the same color

Even as a child I recognized that Mario is meant to be on a second layer in front of the background rather than the image representing literal gameplay.

Yep. Issue #4.

i honestly thought the "brick" was a fancy window in the background.

but either way he's walking on lava

is Eggman absolutely fucking gigantic in this boxart?

He is. Hardly the most heroic box art, showing the protagonist fractions of a second before an embarrassing death.
What were they thinking?!

but based on the speedlines, he's not falling into the lava, he's rising out of it

[Anonymous No.5017026]

As he's always been!

Hardly. Looks more like a desperate last effort to me, probably resulting in some nail marks on the stone wall. And an unpleasant smell.

I dunno about anybody else but I’ve always liked the black box covers, they’re stylish to me

[Anonymous No.5017042]

>>5017036
they have a unique charm to them, and it's cool it tries to show actual in-game graphics

and in some of their cases, they look like it's night time, and night time is cool time

In a way this is one of the best pieces of retro cover art because it actually looks similar to what the game's graphics.

I haven't played Ys but on its own without the context of the game this box art seems perfectly fine. Do you just dislike it because it changed what I imagine was originally an anime artstyle into something western, or is there something grossly inaccurate about it?

Did you miss where I said it does NOT represent literal gameplay? It's a collage of game elements, not a screenshot. Even when I was 5 years old I grasped this concept. Do you have literal autism?
