WAHInvite to today’s edition of Box Art Brawl
Last timewe compared a duo of styles for Beast Hunter 3 Ultimate on the 3DS, with Europe and North America taking on versus Japan. After a week of ballot, it was the previous that won a commanding win, with the Western style taking 63%of the vote and the Japanese one at 37%.
Now, onto this week. Nintendo launched Wario Land 3 on the Game Boy Color in 2000 as the 3rd entry in the busy platforming Mario spin-off series. It may not be rather as cherished as its GBA follower, however this music box-set experience continued the franchise’s high-octane dashing and crashing simply one year before the GBA would bring a welcome power increase to the portable market.
There are 3 various styles for this one, so let’s examine ’em out …
Make sure to cast your votes in the survey listed below; however initially, let’s take a look at package art creates themselves.
Europe
The European style reveals ol’ Wario in a series of various regrettable events, each set versus a plain sky background. It’s quite wacky to take a look at, and we like the cartoony style of each sprite (and the manner in which bat overlaps with the GBC border), however maybe it’s not the most detailed out there.
The United States and Canada
The North American style takes the very same Wario figure as the European one, however the background has actually been totally revamped, with the video game’s main music box taking pride of location. The more we take a look at it, the more we miss out on those wacky Wario sprites.
Japan
The Japanese variation. This is extremely comparable to the NA variation in regards to the main images, however guy, exists a lot more text in the method here! The general background image uses up more of the frame, however a prolonged title and orange footer suggest that more of it is left concealed.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
