Wow, that really is good.
Hmm...really nice..
Our MP3 could've been worse. But only a little bit more.
You're right though, this one is much better.

FFS why do we always get shafted with shitty, shitty boxart for metroid and japan, where no-one cares about the 3D metroids, they get the superior boxart
only the first MP boxart looked passable, 2 and esp 3 where absolute shit
even their first metroid prime boxart is better then ours

its not leaps and bounds better than the NA boxart or anything
The American one would've been much, much better without the third Samus up in the corner.

You know what would really make it better? Samus in the middle, Dark Samus on the right, Ridley on the left. That's it. No supporting characters, please.Originally Posted by Ronin

I actually like the US boxart a lot, always did. It is a hell of a lot better than the MP2 art, that's for sure.
I do like it more than this Japanese art, too. Too much teal in this one, too much monotony. Samus and the title of the game both stand out a lot better in the US art.

Blame Sega for influencing them

Nintendo of America: Your Division is Rubbish
japan has always had the upper hand on aesthetics when it comes to gaming and it always will. whether it be boxart or character design (its not all cliched animu crap)
everybody should be glad its not as bad as it was in the mid-90s and eariler. remember sega of america's impressively awful boxart?

To me it looks more like Metroid Prime 3 had shitty boxart in all territories. The game deserved better.
I got Zelda: Collector's Edition, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Bonus Disc, Zelda PH stylus, 3 extra months of Wii warranty, 3 free magazines, and $12 off subscription price two years in a row for registering my stuff.Originally Posted by Rodeo Clown

Nintendo Power had awesome bundle deals from time to time. They included a game and the Player's Guide but there was also a free memory card and a player's guide.Originally Posted by Rodeo Clown

IIRC, I got bundles for Mario Sunshine, Metroid Prime and Zelda Four Swords.
They still do them but they're nowhere as good. :/
I don't have very many games registered (I'm poor so the bundles were a godsend). NSider was a fine forum, but really began to fall apart in the last year-and-a-half. :(
In fact the reason I didn't get the Kirby/Brain Age stylus was because I didn't have enough games registered. :lol
Total agreement.Originally Posted by Ezduo

Ugh, i'm glad we didn't get that boxart. The American boxarts of games are usually the best (not always, but more often than not). Considering that the Metroid series sells like crap in Japan, i'm not surprised they get the worst boxart for the MP series.Originally Posted by VOOK

I don't think that this one is all that special, but the Japanese boxart for Prime 1 and 2 are a lot better than the ones we got in America.Originally Posted by TJ Spyke

Why does everyone have such a hate on for the NA corruption art? The only thing I don't like about it is the faded Samus in the background, other than that I thought it was pretty good.
When I first saw the USA MP3 boxart I thought Dark Samus was having buttsecks with Samus while looking back over its shoulder.
The USA ICO box is truly an abomination.

I knew before clicking that this would be about Corruption's boxart.
I don't know what the Japanese MP boxart looks like, but that Japanese MP2:E boxart seen a few posts up is not better than the NA MP2:E boxart.Originally Posted by USD
