Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Star Fox Adventures

I voted the USA version.
I have the game since March 2021. 😎

Japanese. It looks more stylish and the characters facial expressions look better.

Definitely Europe this time. This really takes me back. This game was amazing and a let down at the same time. The gameplay in foot was great and the graphics amazing. But back then I hoped for a sequel like star fox 64.

For once i have to say US/EU. While i feel the japanese counterpart is visually more clear and graphic as usual, i feel the "blue+action" suits more the title.

Thanks Ollie, this is a good one
I like when they’re very different but also accomplish something very similar.
Makes it worth discussing about

I like the darker characters in the one from Japan, but the other one seems better for a cover because it captures the goofy adventurous feeling of the game more efficiently

Honestly, unless the art is just garbage, box arts that set a good scene will typically always win for me versus box arts that just slap some artwork on the cover. So yeah, NA/EU for me.

Now is as good a time as any to lay down my hot take on this game.

It was okay.

I loved this game back in the day. Would love to play it again.
My vote went to the European box art.

I LOVE this game. I wish we would get a remake.

I went for NA/EU as that’s the box that sits on my shelf and gives me all the feels.

I actually think the Japanese one looks awful. What was that artist thinking?

Both look good IMO, however, I have to give the slight edge to the Japanese version, so I voted for that.

Little know fact here, but the Japanese one was created by a dentist.

I like that the western one shows Fox's legs and feet to make it clear that you'll be doing a lot of walking/running and not a lot of flying.

While the US art is more action packed, I went with JPN because the background looks like it might not be "grey" (like the article states), but instead holographic, which would make it an instant win.

I could only find one (short) video on YouTube about the region's box art, but the guy only focused on the back art before removing it from the sleeve, so I couldn't get a good look at the front (which did look shiny, but I'm not sure if it was a genuine holographic effect or just glare). Can anyone shed some light on this?

Anything with Krystal on is an automatic win for me.. 😅

@Olliemar28 It's quite a shame Dinosaur Planet didn't get released on the old Nintendo Fourty-Six. They needed more bits I guess.

NA wins this time. But, this game is really bad. Once I played it two years ago on my modded Wii U, I understood all the criticism the game received: it's a poor copy of a Zelda game. The only good thing about it is the Arwing section, that lasts 30 seconds.

Tough call love em both!! Just for me personally the JAP version wins slightly.

I won't just outright dis the Japanese image, but the western image tells me all I need to know.

It's a close one, but I'll go NA/EU on this one.

Game was really cool. It's a shame Nintendo never does more than one game in a certain style for Starfox =P

Somehow the western cover gives me the impression that Slippy, Peppy and Krystal are playable, and as far as I remember they're not except maybe Krystal but only at the beginning before it focuses on Fox messing around.

I like both covers, though. I cannot decide this time.

EDIT: I decided to vote for the Japanese one just for showing the Rareware logo.

In this case, both versions aren't bad to me. Both are well composed for what they're meant to be and succeed as game covers in my opinion. I prefer the western cover. I appreciate that it's depicting a moment of action and tension. I also like that it looks more like it was drawn compared to the Japanese cover which looks more obviously computer rendered. In this case, the overall look of the western art appeals to me more.

The NA one is better. Although the scene it depicts is a complete lie.

It was a bit tough to decide but overall i gotta go with the US version, is more dynamic imo.

Box Art Brawls Current Total:

Europe: 39

Japan: 45

North America: 48

Australia and New Zealand: 1

North America/Europe it shows you what the game is about and the artwork is quite nice.

North America and Europe comfortably here.

The design is superior. Has a sense of environment and a good featuring of the characters there. The Japanese one allows the lettering to dominate way too much.

@Anti-Matter WAIT ANTI NO IT'S T-RATED

Yuck, they both look pretty bad, IMO.

Until I noticed the script, I presumed the NA one was the JP one. It looks more artistic, as is often the case with JP games. Naturally selected NA as the best, and no surprise it's 80/20 in its favour after almost 2000 votes.

Back when it was new, Star Fox Adventures was the first GameCube game I ever owned, so I spent a lot of time admiring the box. I have a very deep nostalgic connection to that NA box art.

The facial expressions look derpier on the English version so I went with the Japanese.

You're all nuts,
the Japanese one is far better.

Grey background loses it

Hesitated for a minute because the NA/EU version was so washed out and lo contrast, but @anti-matter posted a photo and that looks like I remember. Nice and high-contrast. Both are good, but I prefer the action poses from NA/EU to the "just plain poses" from the Japan cover.
