Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS)

Both of them are boring. But, NA/PAL one has a bit more things and the mountains background, at least. So, my vote goes to the NA/PAL one.

The NA/EU cover is a work of art.

NA/EU cover can mostly be read with one glance while Japanese cover forces you to focus on it to even understand what the thing is about.

Oh not the Wii U Version?
3 Ultimate was really a blast, being able to play with one Wii U and three N3DS multiplayer was incredible cool.
Taking your save Game with you and play wherever you want.
For me it was clear that NX was a Codename for Cross, so a Crossplay Device as the Switch came out to be.

Japan is a bit muddy and dark, the NA/Europe cover showcases the monster and armour much better.

The colour scheme of the Japanese box art alone is so much more everything than the generic fantasy schtick of EU/America.

Played and beat (on Wii U) MH3U before the online shut down. Was a fun time. The Japan cover has really striking colors and Brachy so it's my vote.

I absolutely HATE that they removed Brachydios (the game's actual flagship monster) and randomly replaced it with... Azure Rathalos of all things?!

Sorry but as a MH fan this a huge pet peeve, so Japan wins by default.

I really like the Western art. The cover gives the impression of an ambitious console game squeezed onto a modestly-powered handheld, which is fitting.

The Japanese art, while okay, makes it look more like a horror game, rather than fantasy-oriented.

I really like the darker tone of Japans art. That one gets my vote

I don't really like either one very much. Both have issues, in my opinion, of elements being undefined. I had trouble figuring out what I was looking at. On the US one, the main character's lower half gets lost in the background a bit. Also, his stance is very odd. I get what Japan's cover is going for, but the main character just looks unclear to me visually. In this case, I vote for the western cover.

I swear lots of Japan is colorblind.

The American one is better than the EU one. It has more blue

EU/NA because the Japanese one just looks... confusing in some parts, and I'm not talking about the Japanese text I can't read.

both look super cool

I don't think either cover's very good but that Japanese cover has an outright nauseating color scheme.

Box Art Brawls Current Total:

Europe: 88

Japan: 86

North America: 103

Australia and New Zealand: 1

At this point I start to wonder if you guys deliberately pick the games with bad Japanese covers...

This is WRONG! Brachydios is the flagship monster, it got robbed! And for what? Some intern copy-pasting the separate artworks of the blue Rathalos (why not the OG?) and it’s armour together with the two Shakalakas over the Deserted-Island background, just so that Joe Shmoe can get a better grasp of what’s in the game? Well it works. NA/EU.

Huh, so actually it’s not a total copypasta job.

I kinda like the Japanese art more for looking more chaotic. With the darkness and splashes of neon color, it kinda feels like it's more suited to Shin Megami Tensei or Devil May Cry.

This is a great brawl because they're so different. And for once I actually agree with the majority haha

Gotta go with NA for this one since it literally was what inspired me to get the game.

@Vyacheslav333 I don't know how you can say the Japanese color scheme is boring. It has a cohesive and unique one that goes with the 3DS label.
