Ew anytime they put a picture of a regular box on there. /points at Dawn of Sorrow. I've got a Ganbare Goemon game from Japan that has a sleeve of the regular box on it, which the regular box is under it... idgi

I love the Castlevania one, it is a picture of a box... WHY NOT JUST PUT THE IMAGE THERE?????

People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...

Also, while the art itself on this one is not bad:

I don't think you can fit the word "Gundam" any more times on the box.

What Capcom USA thought a JRPG was supposed to look like, c. 1995.

Is that Conan on the box? LOL

Also no Night Trap yet? I'm shocked.

I dunno if I'd say ICO's NA box art is quite as bad as the examples already mentioned (it's really hard to top Karnaaj, tacky & awkward self-promotion and whatever-the-heck Capcom was farting out onto Mega Man's NES boxes), but frankly it's an abomination when compared to the Japanese and European version.

That's just an abomination, full stop. The "HIGH QUALITY" 3D models make the game look like shovelware.

This is a bit off-topic I guess, but I find all Nintendo's recent game boxes a let-down in one respect: the spine.

Third party box spines are colourful and reflect the artistic themes elsewhere in the presentation. Nintendo box spines are just plain boring black font. Anyone know why it does this?

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Depends on the game, iirc Nintendo Land and Mario Kart 8 have their respective logos on the spine. Anyway, I prefer the plain old text, I don't know why, it's simple and does its job I guess.
