Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s look at the box designs themselves.
North America / Europe
This is the kind of cover you’d expect from a game with a title like ‘Burger Time Deluxe’, right? There’s a chef under comical stress, some scary food items, a winding maze, basically, it tells you everything you need to know about the game in one quick glance. Just the way we remember the covers of the Game Boy, even if that evil cucumber will haunt our dreams for a few more days…
Japan
Wow, ok. So this is… different. In the final question ‘where are they now?’ the Japanese cover chose not to show anything about the game itself, instead hoping to carry copies with just a smiling girl and a hamburger. He points to his mouth as if to say “want to look that happy? Play Burger Time Deluxe, only on Game Boy!”
Yes, it tells us almost nothing about the gameplay or the central concept, but hey, you have to respect all 180 marketing points.
Thanks for voting! See you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
