everyone knows the US gets the big shaft when it comes to cool box art (posters too) . the japanese cover/ads/slogans/posters ALWAYS look much cooler, usually have unique scenes and/or main character art.
while surfing ebay for some cool mega drive games i started looking at the australian and european release and WOW do the box arts suck. check out the designs for sonic 2 and 3 at this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...171130907&rd=1
sonic 2 has a really queer yellow border and generally looks wierd while sonic 3 is aweful all around, the art and the stupid blue border, personally i liked the US releases' art and red border much more.
so yeah, just my little rant, im sure there are plenty more examples of european box art being lamer than US, which in turn is lamer than japan.
