Are we back? We're back. Well, it's time for another Box Art Brawl program, a weekly public vote when you decide the best (or & # 39; worst & # 39;) of the three regional art variants.
Last week we took a look at the classic cult Wetrix take the job. After a wet and wild fighting game, the Japanese cover appeared watery but triumphant. Europe did not lag behind and North America was left to explore the practice.
This week we are back with a Capcom classic: one and only one Mega Man for the Nintendo Entertainment program (or Famicom in the East). Few covers are as dangerous video games as the North American version, but after filming the third outbreak in Box Art Brawl # 6, it was only a matter of time before we stepped back to look at another game from the little boy's catalog.
Enough thickness. Arms (and guns) when they're ready, folks!
North America
Let's get this out of the way, hmm? This is the most popular video cover (of) of all time. It's too bad that it's infiltrating nearby space and it's almost & # 39; t pretty good & # 39;
The key word in that sentence is & # 39; likely & # 39 ;, however. If your 7-year-old brings this home from school, you may have already seen the mysterious delights of the titular escort. He will focus more on the interesting colors than on the fact that he seems to have a left leg and the other left leg attached to his groin in reverse. You would admire the beautiful colors of the burning city in the background, and compliment the lovely palm trees and their accents whatever – what on the left …
It is possible you will not use it and convince them to use it on the cover of this game & # 39; s Rock Man & # 39; which they were taking from the corporate world. No, a drawing of your 7-year-old would be stuck in the fridge that was there until it caught a glimpse of the sun or was torn apart when the cat caught it.
Japan
Colored characters. Visual composition. Shiny logo. Cracked cartoon style bomb.
The true Japanese version has it all and gives us a great look not only on Rockman, but also on his robotic enemies. The brown blocks are said to symbolize the rocks that seem like a bad thing to look at, but the middle block of grains has the power to pull your eyes away from behind.
It's good & # 39; un. The yellow border may be better, but this is not necessarily bad.
Europe
The European genre gets a bespoke and more beautiful piece of essential art that would be a poster for the mid – & # 39; 80s movie version of the game. The character has a right arm cannon and Dr. Wily looks down the valley as the robots masters descend upon the hero. There is a huge overflow behind and a whole bunch of rocks that don't look like they were dragged down the stairs.
The fact that this cover deviates from the original Japanese version of the character can be countered against it from your perspective, but we think the picture here is good in itself. The blue border was the norm for Capcom at the time (as with the North American border in that area), and whether or not you dig the concessions it offers. We are separated.

The original, and the best? We're pretty sure we haven't seen the last of the Mega Men around these parts, but that's only this week. Stay safe, dear people, and we'll see you next!
