What Was Some Of Your Favorite Video Game Cover Art?

[Sir Win]

Before the Internet, we got our game reviews from friends, magazines, and blind faith judging the art cover (Imagination).., Kuros is that you?

 

[bigstinkie]

i love it dearly

the art is by jun suemi

 

[MasterEn]

i posted this on another thread, but it fits here too.
an nes classic.

 

[Pluviam]

Instantly caught my eye when I was a kid,and learning that it was made by some of the people behind Earthworm Jim sealed the deal on me picking it up. Still an underrated favorite of mine

 

[stealthRUSH stealthRUSH]

PC Genjin 2 (1991)

I like it because of the appearance of newspaper cut outs and other pictures, drawings patched together. The first and third game of the series also emphasized this style and 超/Chō Super releases.

 

[MasterEn]

now, for a more serious answer to the question. a couple of my favorite box art covers come from my favorite games in the pikmin series. 1 and 2.

 

[RustySK]

I absolutely love the old, super subdued PAL and JP PSX Final Fantasy covers and how they gave the series a unified appearance on your shelf.

Also, absolutely a cliché at this point, but Ico's (non-US) cover is definitely what jumps into my head when I think of good, evocative cover art.

My TOP 5:

 

[HalfHeartedNate]

Probably a bit obvious given my profile picture, but I really like the box art for King's Quest 5 and 6.
I also like the non-US artwork for Symphony of the Night.

The PS2 box art for Okami embodies the game's entire ukiyo-e art style and for that it deserves all the recognition in the world.

 

[Baght]

Megaman's cover for unintentional comedy reasons.

But a cool one that I like is the cover of the first Siphon Filter.

 

[MrWrighty]

the Japanese covers of the Silent Hill trilogy

Some that i enjoy
Daggerfall

Wii Okami (The original may be better but i had this one as a kid and thus prefer due to the memories attached to it)

3DS MM (the cover is better than the 3ds version of the game)

The World Ends With You

And this old man is kind of funny to me

I like the wii and hd versions Box Arts better, but you are probably right as in the original embodying the game feel and art style better.

There's lots more I like but these covers are what to mind immediately

 

[C.Endfield]

As far as PS1 covers go, the PAL cover of Soul Reaver probably takes the cake imo. The morphing from physical to spectral realm by tilting the cover is a thing of magic.

Other honorable mentions:

 

[Frickinfrik]

(I prefer the EU boxart for RE4 over the US one, the EU one looks cooler)

 

[Sunnyside]

This belongs in every videogame cover art thread. Simply beautiful. Maybe someday I'll finally get around to playing the damn game too.

[LaserMoose]

Ghouls 'N Ghosts (GEN/Mega Drive)

Capcom vs SNK 2 (Dreamcast). This is the full artwork.

Mega Man Zero 3 (GBA)

Two other favorites of mine already mentioned are GCN/Wii Twilight Princess and Majora's Mask's 3DS boxart.
