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 cover that many people will think of when you think of Yoshi’s story. It’s bright, colorful, has those uber-smooth 3D sprites on the front — what’s not to like? All those Yoshis (and Shy Guy’s guest appearance) give you a pretty good idea of the tone this game will have without actually showing anything concrete – neat.
Japan
Once again, the Japanese cover goes for something completely different. It’s still bright, colorful, and decked out with more Yoshis, but it has a crafted feel to its embroidery aesthetic that’s not a million miles away from the handmade look that was so important to Yoshi’s Woolly / Crafted World. True, the contour embroidery could make the dinosaurs look a little spicier than usual, but we’d say it’s still pretty attractive.
Thanks for voting! See you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
