It's cool, yes, but the amount of uncanny valley going on in it slightly unappeals to me. Also, the Japanese box art has a better likeness to Goemon.

But then again, I'll give the American box art props for not having a middle-aged man like Ebisumaru wear tutu...

….. Wait… You actually know Caddicarus, Dazz?

I'll admit both box arts are charming but c'mon, he's riding a tiger in the NA version and it look like a completely more kick ass game with all the noise in the background.

Touché, that neglects any flaws I had for the North American box art. Besides, they did a good job of making the tiger look cute and ferocious.

By the way, since we're bringing up Phoenix Games box arts, you'll never guess what I found!

So, they used off-model Peter Pan and James Hook apparently exploring Destiny Islands and they slapped on that logo to pass it off as Wind Waker's sequel on the PS2… Am I the only one seeing this?

I think the Wind Waker part is shooped; here's another box I found:

... James stays in my house frequently, he does voice over work for several VGFacts videos... Know him? Bitch owes me 12 bucks.

RE: bad box art thread - E-Man - 04-22-2014

Well, that's charming (the 12 bucks part I mean). I'm actually surprised that you and Caddicarus are chums since I think this was the first time you ever brought it up within my earshot (or whatever the equivalent of that is since we all type). In any case, good on ya, Dazz!

Anyway, while I don't know Caddicarus personally like you do, I actually occasionally Skype/e-mail an acquaintance of Caddicarus who goes by the name of Tealgamemaster. He runs a channel on YouTube where he does Let's Plays and he had Caddicarus guest star in a few of them.

RE: bad box art thread - TomGuycott - 04-22-2014

I love Caddicarus. We should rename this thread into Caddicarus Fansite.

RE: bad box art thread - SchAlternate - 04-22-2014

Speaking of Caddy, I find it mandatory to post this gem somewhere in the thread.

Fun Fact: The actual game has nothing to do with 101 Dalmatians. Hell, it doesn't even classify as a game at all.

RE: bad box art thread - Helmo - 04-26-2014

Isn't DYKG badassbill?

Spoiler

RE: bad box art thread - Maxpphire - 04-26-2014

Yes, Badassbill runs DYKG/VGFacts

I'd link a comparison to the Japanese and English box arts of Dark Cloud but mobile.

That's not even

I actually prefer the US boxart over the Japanese one, the Japanese one looks like Harry-Potter-Fern-Gully-what-the-hell-is-going-on-here.

I only have the disc for Dark Cloud 2 so thanks for reminding me that I need to acquire the box at some point.
EDIT: Bought the box, I feel like a weirdo. Thanks Kat Tongue
