Poll: Box Art Brawl: Killer7

I'm surprised EU is losing so bad at this early time. Looks better to me but not by a whole lot over NA. Both covers look good but let's not talk about the 3rd option.

North America by a wide margin. Europe just looks boring, and the less said about the Japanese one, the better.

Japan's box is so unique. NA looks like many other boxes and Europe just has renders placed on a red background

All are bad of them

What were they thinking with the third option?

Europe's looks quite dramatically better to me.

the hotel wallpaper look is thematically appropriate considering the killer7's backstory but nothing can beat the us boxart

Yikes I was not expecting that box from Japan. No wonder I never noticed it in stores back then - it’s just wallpaper unless you know what you’re looking for!

I went NA this week for the neat layout and classic yellow CAPCOM logo.

The European cover is giving me some From Russia with Love vibes. I think I'll go with that one. Unfortunately the selections this time aren't as good as in past Box Art Brawls. Whoever greenlit that Japanese cover deserves a demotion.

I don't think any of them are great, but I'll take NA. I think NA could be better if it used some of the whites like EU for contrast. I think the composition is best in NA but the characters and logo don't pop given all of the dark shades.

Well... NA one with it's "shattered glass" style looks better than PAL and JP ones, because it puts Harman Smith at the center and his Smith personalities at the sides. Harman have personality disorder, after all. So, NA one for me this week.

They're all a bit iffy imo. The use of the in-game models to depict the characters is weak and a bit lazy. It was screaming for a kickass Anime style cover art. Pity. Still the NA version is hands down the winner imo. What they were thinking when they created that Japan version I dunno.

I have never seen this game. Looks really interesting.

These are all kind of crappy. At least the American one feels like it knew something about the game.

That also rates as one of the worst JPN box arts on one of these brawls thus far.

I'm old enough to remember a time when Killer 7 was that really strange game a few weirdos liked and everyone else totally ignored, before it became that really strange game a few weirdos liked and everyone else pretends they always loved for years to establish credibility.

The EU one is so boring... and I don't even know what the JP is. US version is the correct answer.

Europe for me. it has a slick movie-poster style that I really like.

Great brawl this week!

Easy W for 'Murica

I voted for the North American box art, as it's the least offensive one on the eyes.

Rare North America win

US this week. I do wish it had a white logo like the EU variant (pops better against the red/black of the rest of the art), but otherwise the US art is just more interesting.

Also, really rare 'L' for JPN.

NA, that cover just kicks ass. No one mentions that, where the bullet hole is, Harman Smith is there, the "mastermind" from where all the personalities drop off. What a fantastic game this is. When I got it, I had chicken pots, so I was dying with fever while playing this game, it was certainly a very different experience playing it like that hehehe. But I love it! I used to own it, but I sold it on a really good price. Hopefully it'll come to Switch one day. And, what's with that Japanese cover hahahahahaha, it really sucks.

EU for me. Reservoir Dog vibes along with not being too close up on the not great faces.

The japanese one looks like a half-printed watermark sheet. Looks like when Nintendo of japan get it right, they get it right but when they get it wrong, they get it really wrong

Yeah, North America. I remember playing this back when it first came out, and not really getting into it. Would be interesting to revisit all these years later.

I think the idea of the bullet-hole-through-glass for the NA cover was good, but not executed well. Maybe if the logo wasn’t on top of the design it might have been better.

I liked the European cover better. It still shows the 7 characters, but in a much cleaner way.

And I don’t know what they were thinking with the Japanese cover. How they thought “put the logo on top of ugly wallpaper” was a good design is beyond my comprehension.

I just want to give you guys props for acknowledging this game's existence. Nobody ever talks about or mentions this game. I thought it was awesome, and why it hasn't made some sort of comeback is baffling to me.

I like both western ones, it's a tie. Japan loses though.

Box Art Brawls Current Total:

Europe: 47

Japan: 51

North America: 57

Australia and New Zealand: 1

I do like the European one and would not have been mad if that had been NA's back in the day. But NA's just gets right to the point with little mystery as to who the Killer 7 characters are. JP looks cool in its own way, but it doesn't intrigue me at all.

I'm not really fond of any of these, but the NA one is my favorite. The Europe cover's composition is quite boring to me with the wide shot. It's not dynamic in any way. The NA cover doesn't have much going on, but the bullet hole ties it all together. Plus, you can at least see what the characters look like.

The NA and JPN ones hit the game’s theme more. The EU one makes you think it’s a squad instead of what is actually happening.

US, easy. Europe's might actually be better than Japan's, but it's similarities to the NA box art make its deficiencies stand out. So Europe's is actually my least favorite.

NA is sinister as hell!!! EU is also really nice, don't dig the JP one at all..

@Edu23XWiiU «No one mentions that, where the bullet hole is, Harman Smith is there, the "mastermind" from where all the personalities drop off.»
Well... I've mentioned that before you:
„NA one with it's "shattered glass" style looks better than PAL and JP ones, because it puts Harman Smith at the center and his Smith personalities at the sides. Harman have personality disorder, after all. So, NA one for me this week.“
My comment's number is 14.

I hafta go with NA, I like the fractured glass look that shows each character.

Really surprised by this one, I'd say Europe is better by a significant margin. A nice understated cover which is miles better stylistically than the NA cover. I'm not sure about the JPN cover the Caocom is far too prominent.

@LavaTwilight lolol

North America has a neat way to display the characters, the others are lame by comparison.

Japan's cover looks like a faulty bootleg that got jammed in the printer. Like the EU and North American covers, but my heart is with my home team and this is one of my favourite games. Killer 7 for Switch!!

Such a weird, but special game because it's so unique in its own unapologetic way. Wish the Killer series would continue.

If you include the Japanese text, then the Japanese title is actually "Killer7 Capcom Killer Killer7 7". Maybe throw the second Capcom on at the end for fun!

I kind of love the Japan box art. It’s striking and inexplicably bizarre, which is exactly how I would describe the game.

The Japanese one is horrendous. literally just the name of the game twice and capcom twice.

@Vyacheslav333 well, you beat me then! A man of knowledge, I see.

Eu looks like a james bond poster so i went with that
