Yeah, the Great Giana Sisters definitely have better nipples than the Super Mario Brothers, so it makes sense to put them right there centre-stage in the box art.

Well lets put it another way.

That is only ONE of the two sisters... The person on the cover looks like Olivia Newton John and not either of those two sisters... and her pose is awkward and weird and incredibly sexual for what is essentially a game for all ages.

I mean I will fight some of these "This is bad box art!" if it is at least honest to the game. Heck I could make a list of the top 10 "This box art isn't bad and you should feel bad". Yet no Giana Sisters box art was pretty bad.

Also how did Telengard get into here? What is wrong with that Box art?

[WealthyRadish]

From what I know of the new Giana Sisters game that got made recently, the sisters in that game have aged to be "teenagers", presumably making the old version's sisters preteens. That's really is a seriously fucked up box cover.

Take a look at the box art for Mega Man 3 for NES.  It's not bad.

Now take a look at the box art for the DOS version:

Rush and Top Man are gone, since they weren't in the DOS version...but Wily's castle gets a second skull?  Also, if that robot is supposed to be Spark Man, he's not in the DOS version either.

Also why is MM staring at his mechano-junk?

[birdy51]

Meh. He's more or less looking at his foot it looks like.

[Il Palazzo]

Megaman enjoys blasting robot balls with his hand cannon.
Just look at his face. He's a douchebag.

[nenjin]

Topman is the background yelling "Dude, NOT COOL!"

Now I want a Megaman prelude game where you're the bad bot trashing all the other good bots, which eventually leads to Mega Man cleaning house.

[Tawa]

Man, these Mega Cartridge boxes were crap in the extreme. Even the ones with actual art.

So heroic! At least they got the hand right...

STICK 'EM UP

But... there's only two of them... bald-man and Zettai Ryouiki girl...

BEWARE THE EXPLOSIVE FOOT OF DOOM

Why do they all have the same background?

[Bouchart]

There isn't a whole lot of shadow blasting in this cover.  It looks like a trip to the beach with an ominous head in the background.

Kageki was only released in Japan but it still counts.

I'm slowly becoming convinced that Japan is in some kind of passive-aggressive war with the rest of the world, and intentionally designs most of their culture to freak out everyone else. That Kageki cover was some kind of land-mine that you found. They didn't export it, hoping someday someone like Bay12 would stumble across it and feel a little dirty.

Coz I do. Eeesh.

[nenjin]

That's not much worse than Happy Chef.

This cover would have looked decent were it not for that giant green head that's just floating there.

pretty sure that is a mockup (i hope so anyways), but its terrible and funny to me!
