Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s look at the box designs themselves.
North America
Okay, the North American version isn’t great, we’ll be honest. At least in our opinion. It shows Mega Man front and center, but he just looks a little…off, doesn’t he? Granted, it’s not as outrageous as the original NES artwork, but it’s not far off. Still, it has its charms… we think.
Europe
The European variant is much better, with Mega Man looking much more familiar. It’s a neat little action shot and you have some nice effects that show movement, but we have to admit we’re not thrilled with the logo for this one. It’s very ‘Microsoft WordArt’.
Japan
The Japanese version changes the name to Rockman World which, okay, that’s fine, but the artwork itself is very cool. We have several characters here, including Mega Man himself, and the use of color is just wonderful. It uses a more elongated box design and we like it. Nice.
Thanks for voting! See you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
