I said fantastically.

Besides, the original pre-release cover was legitimately fantastic (pic related), the final release is a so-bad-it's-good jumbled up mess of tracing and smudge tool.

You know, now that I look at it, why does Mega Man even have a visor?
I can understand Crash Man, hell, I can even understand the stupid handgun, but why Mega Man?

I know the cover is full of questionable decisions and inconsistencies, but this one bothers me the most because if it weren't for the visor, it would actually be a decent approximation of the original design in an old western super hero style, they got more things right than the MM1 boxart design did.

I always wondered why they photoshopped Sly on the final cover art like that. I was watching Judge Dredd and as soon as Stallone made that pose I instantly recognized it from the cover art.
I heard that this was the cover art for the RE comic book and it was so well received CAPCOM made it the official cover art. No idea if that's true though.

Does anyone know why USA boxarts were always worse than the JP ones? Like, what the fuck is with the USA boxart of Mega man? Why not use the JP one instead and change it to english wording?

Anonymous Sat Feb 16 15:15:16 2019 No.5375569

>>5375316
Because they were desperate to wipe out any traces of a game's Japanese origin when selling them in the US. In most cases the games were already being made in the western market in mind, so they felt no need to change the boxart (as was the case with stuff like Commando and Ghosts'n Goblins), but for some reason they felt Rockman's boxart was too anime-esque, so they redrew that one. Incidentally Capcom's own artists ended up drawing a realistic Mega Man for the Euro boxart and that ended up looking a lot better.

>>	Anonymous Sat Feb 16 15:38:28 2019 No.5375618 >>5375569 Thanks, that makes sense. Isn't it ironic how they thought the Japanese artwork wouldn't work but the American artwork ended up turning people away. Example: Mega Man.

Is Megaman's buster supposed to be on the left or right arm? Search on Google images and you'll see how inconsistent the official artwork, even the Japanese, is in regard to this. Noticed this a couple weeks ago when I was doing sketches of all the MM2 bosses and was looking for a decent pic of Rock.

I don't think it had anything to do with it's Japanese origins.

I mean, look at the JP art. It looks like something for small children. It might've worked in Japan but it would not have driven sales in the US, even kids probably wouldn't've wanted it since they tend to abhor anything that is obviously aimed at kids younger than they are. That said, the US cover really could've been better, like >>5375689
