SK's Favorite Box Art

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:59:31 GMT

It's so simple and yet so awesome. I even got a shirt with that lightsaber on it for pre-ordering the game.

Timon & Pumba's Jungle Games

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:02:03 GMT

I bought this as a kid based solely on the box art... fortunately for me the 5 mini-games weren't half bad either.

Heavenly Sword

Hot chick with a big sword, I'm surprised more game companies aren't putting this on game covers.

Star Wars: Battlefront

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 17:59:47 GMT

Damn it feels good to be a Stormtrooper...

Final Fantasy IX

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:00:08 GMT

Probably the only FF one I'll put up here just because it doesn't include all the characters from the game, but it does have the 4 for my favorite party: Zidane, Steiner, Vivi and Garnet.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:03:27 GMT

Simple yet awesome. I still don't know how they are calling these games after the princess you keep having to rescue and not the hero of it all. I still chuckle when someone thinks Zelda is Link's name.

Mega Man X

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:00:16 GMT

I know it's all about depth perception but there's just something awesome about Megaman jumping at a giant robotic octopus; plus Megaman X just looks cooler than the original anyway.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:00:23 GMT

Oh I'm sorry? Did I blow through the brick wall of your mind with ninja turtle awesomeness?!? Oh and we're on skateboards! Oh and you get a free pizza with this game!

Contra

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:00:30 GMT

Contra is a pretty cool game, but the box art is cooler; always wondered where that disgusting alien was in the game but I guess 8-bit graphics can only detail so much.

Darkwing Duck

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:00:53 GMT

It's Darkwing freakin' Duck what else can I say? He was kind of the last cartoon hero I wanted to be when I grew up before I actually did grow up.

Little Nemo: The Dream Master

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:00:57 GMT

This box cover is a product of smoking and eating mushrooms. Still, it's pretty cool.

Bionic Commando

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:01:03 GMT

Dude that guy is totally nuts!?! Swinging into a battlefield with some robotic cable attachment on his arm?!? I want one.

Castlevania

Sat, 03 Dec 2011 18:02:34 GMT

Not my favorite Castlevania game but definitely my favorite box art. You got the hero, a detailed castle, and a really cool Dracula face.
