The North American one is very dear to me because it was my first video game ever (that's the cover we got in Portugal). But I voted for the Japanese one because that makes more sense. It conveys the idea of "World" better than the NA one.
The French one is just ugly, too much text, strange composition.

@JimmySpades I was starting to think I was the only one who noticed that.

There's always going to be people who react negatively to negative comments, readers and staff alike, instead of understanding where the criticism is coming from.
One can't excuse everything with "if you know better go ahead and do it yourself". Everyone knows it's not that simple. No one is going to start a news page and become successful right off the bat. It takes time and work, which NintendoSegaLife have put towards making a generally great site here. Sad to see they need to be reminded not to drop the quality with these lazy copy paste jobs, and also sad to see staff antagonising the very readers they write for.

@Damo are you seriously defending an "article" that consists of copy paste and no actual writing of a story? You can't possibly be saying that with a straight face.

Here's an idea, try to read a press release or a statement, parse it and identify the key ideas then write an article using your words, applying a few quotes here and there and then indicating the source.
A few websites that I know of have been doing that for a while now, to some success. I believe they call it "journalism".

Could also be useful to apply this thing called "listening to your readers" rather than telling them "you can read it just fine".
