Europe wins this, don't know why Japan has that weird sticker on it...

Got this day 1 but still haven't played it yet...

@Not_Soos I don't know why but I like ugly characters in video games and in other media, the gold fish lunch lady is another Splatoon character design I like along with Frye and Pearl. I feel like fiction is saturated with cool, cute and hot characters, it's nice to have some freaky looking and ugly characters.

@AstroTheGamosian You can buy eShop currencies through online retailers, like Amazon. You are sent a receipt with the code on it so there is no need to go to the store.

If you buy from BJ's you can actually save a few dollars depending on the value of the card.

You might need a store membership to buy it though.

@Thief Here are the lists for the delisted games on Wii U and 3DS.

Voted for North America's because it looks metal!

Going with rock, I have always found minerals interesting.

@Octane Still, they aren't developed internally at Nintendo. Also it is rare to see Kirby, Xenoblade, and even Pokemon cross over into Nintendo games despite their popularity. Furniture in Animal Crossing has all been from franchises made in-house, most Easter eggs in Nintendo games are also from in-house franchises.

@Munchlax Only Splatoon and Pikmin apply because they are first party titles, the others are second party.

@Lanmanna We need naval ships shooting at the racers while they're being chased by a colossal squid.

So long as Embracer Group doesn't influence the creative freedom of these IPs and studios and allows them to operate as they did before they were purchased then I don't really see a major issue. This is unlikely though, Embracer will most likely favor certain studios and IPs and leave others to rot...

@Ryan_Again This, also this is just fan speculation, until Nintendo comes out and directly confirms it themselves there is no reason to celebrate it or be mad about it.

@MaxPlastic "ITT: Buncha dudes mad that they can't sexualize Shiver."

If you think R34 crowd won't sexualize a character you're wrong, nothing is off limits to those people. It's probably already out there unfortunately...

Voted for Japan, I really like the colors.

@AllieKitsune There are a lot of cat themed games too, probably just because they are popular animals.

@Serpenterror I feel like "low budget" is a better descriptor than "cookie cutter".

Japan completely stomped the competition this round! I voted for Japan, but I don't think the others are bad either, they remind me of the North American box arts for Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass.

Looks cool, but that voice acting is loud and annoying, the characters talk way too much.

So it's Elevator Action with lewd images tossed in between levels.

@DiggleDog I think that's true but I don't think officially supporting their games at competitions makes them lose that control.

@Serpenterror If Nintendo hates esports then why do they host their own tournaments now? They've done it for Smash Bros. and Splatoon 2.

@Royalblues Hasn't Nintendo consistently said in the past that they don't view Sony and Microsoft as direct competitors? I don't think them avoiding EVO has all that much to do with the Sony connection but I could be wrong.

Oh yeah Mr. Krabs, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

@Yosher Oh thanks, that's good to know!

I never really understood the brands in Splatoon, like it makes sense for making a convincing world but do they do anything mechanically? In Borderlands some brands made weapons with certain stats like one brand always had a high rate of fire and some brands had exclusive abilities but Splatoon doesn't seem to do that or at least I never noticed it.

Voted for the North American/European one. It has a better atmosphere to it. The Japanese one has more style but it looks like Samus's cannon has a car headlight jammed inside.

@Liam_Doolan "it shows a total of three Inklings"

But it has two inklings and one octoling in the image.

@wuntyme8 Ain't Fi just the master sword?

@RupeeClock I know that, but if the case just had enough master swords for each game it appeared in than it wouldn't be enough master swords!

@RupeeClock More, one for each game in the series.

@PARK1755 Excellent title.

On a serious note, with all the asset flipping they've done, I really hope they improve the mobility in this game, the platforming in story mode is AWFUL in the first two games.

Blanka looking like a pinball flying towards Chun Li is great, only other box art I like is the one for Switch.

@Not_Soos "Sorry Link, I can't give credit. Come back when you're a little, MMMMMMM RICHER!"

Honestly, I wouldn't be against this.

@cyrus_zuo You can let it run in the background and it doesn't consume nearly as much, even when planting flowers. You just need to have the GPS on.

North America & Europe, Japan's is too simplistic for me.

@OldManHermit Yeah the list lacking the three Metroid games Switch is bizarre.

I voted for the Japanese one, there's just something off about the North American one.

"When Metroid Dread came out years later, he was sent a copy. Cena’s people sent an email back saying “John loves it.”"

I heard he loves bootlicking and ice cream too.

North America wins for me, the European and Japanese ones are just dated CG.

@pjzelda I could see that, but with no marketing I feel like the movie will fail. Like they should start with some promotional art or something if they don't wanna show trailers.

Kinda strange they don't have trailers out for a movie that is mostly done.

@MindWanderer Inklings and octolings are shapeshifters, so I don't think these are painful for inklings and octolings.

The North American is way too plain.

I think both are fine but I went with the North American & European one.

Europe & Japan. North America's is too plain.

Smoliv, Lechonk is too plain looking.

@Fizza @WinterschneeFee The site doesn't work for me on Windows 10 with Firefox, but it functions with Edge on Windows 10 and Firefox on Android. Try using different browsers and operating systems if you can.

@Silly_G If it's FLAC or ALAC those are "lossless" like WAV but are compressed unlike WAV.

North America and Japan win this, I always like to see more detailed artwork.
