The first one was $50 at release too.

Ah, that makes sense. Maybe a rental, maybe I'll wait til it hits $20.

 

[Epicus.Furor]

Wi-Fi, Yeah!!

 

[jamesinclair]

I like how the Rare logo is on the box. Its like Nintendo saying "hey MS, remember you bought these guys? lol"

 

[JonathanEx]

I love how the background of the boxart doesn't cover the whole box. See: bottom of the DS curve.

 

[Acosta]

What the hell they did with the beautiful japanese cover of Armored Core 4?

 

[StrikerObi]

The character's face on the SSX Blur box freaks me out.

 

[infiniteloop]

4 sale only in Europe, sry guys

The text on the back is hilarious.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

ToTheGame just put this up, different to the one already shown.

 

[brandonh83]

Thanks for pointing that out, great stuff :lol

And I like that GOW2 cover a great deal.

 

[Borys]

GOW2 box-art

Absolutely AWESOME.

What's the building before Kratos? Some temple I'd wager.

 

[Ceb]

That GoW2 cover is much better. Kratos looked so skinny in the other one.

 

[jett]

ToTheGame just put this up, different to the one already shown.

Now that's some good boxart.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

Wow, I love the GoW2 boxart. I hope we get that for the UK.

Yeah, this is the one that SCEA lists on its press site.

 

[radjago]

A Temple of Doom.


Get it?

Spoiler

Jaffe borrows from Lucas yet again.

 

[koam]

Everlong by the Foo Fighters, Over the Hills and Far Away by Led Zeppelin, and The Spirit of Radio by Rush.

I'm also lying.

I was going to freak out there for a second when i saw everlong. I knew you were lying when i saw Zep.

 

[OnWarmerMusic]

I just hope they get wifi battle mode in this one (as opposed to MK: DS). Icicle Pyramid missile battles are epic material.

 

[Cdammen]

Or just give us the Japanese boxart:

Wait, that would make to much sense...

Now that is good boxart!

Why must the publishers **** everything up when releasing games in the west? Why do they make Kirby generically angry? Why do the ALWAYS position everything in the middle/center, don't they have ANY sense of composition/style? Why do they use ugly CG rendered images when they have beautiful art at their disposal? Why GOD(S) WHY?!

 

[Mr_Furious]

Nice GoW2 boxart. Much better

 

[Virtua Ben]

Rare, please don't screw this game up.

 

[Alpha_eX]

QFT!

So many great memories of that level. I really hope Rare get this one right, try not to think about the last handheld racing game made and there's hope!

 

[Haunted]

who wants to bet Wii Play doesn't come with a regular case, either.

It was released in a regular case over here at least.

More like free mini-game comp with the purchase of a wiimote.

There's only seven (or nine as the boxart seems to claim, I thought it was only seven) mini-games to Wiiplay, and only the pull of nostalgia makes me want it for the uber-Duck Hunt game.

It's nine mini-games.

Wow NA Wii Play boxart sucks. PAL one so much better.

QFT

WOO!! \o/

whatwhatwhat? Who's the little guy in the lower left? new playable character? He looks familiar...

 

[SuperBanjo]

It kind of looks like Chuck Quizmo from Paper Mario 1. Talk about an obscure character.

 

[Haunted]

Thanks - that looks like him. A weird choice, but who knows if he's playable (unlikely?) or just a side character (announcer/capsule/menu help).
Normally I wouldn't flip out over such a minor thing as a character on the boxart, but I'm so ****ing hyped - MP8 can't come soon enough!

 

[digita1alchemy]

**** YES

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

**** YES

It might actually come out this year!?

 

[digita1alchemy]

It might actually come out this year!?

I sure as hell hope so.

[hoverboarder]

This looks interesting..anyone know anything?

 

[Thomper]

There's a demo here:

[Infernal Monkey]

 

[PantherLotus]

an addictive puzzle journey through space???!!!

**** YES!

*trying demo now*

 

[Mr_Furious]

(notice the "two disc set". I wonder what the dealio is)

 

[Creamium]

(notice the "two disc set". I wonder what the dealio is)

Wow, an entire disc of extras? wonder if Europe'll get this too

 

[Kifimbo]

They changed the boxart several times...now the game has a new title.

 

[NotMSRP]

Must have read GAF.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

He's still missing part of his arm though! ='D

 

[Greenpanda]

That God of War 2 boxart is a huge improvement over the one we'd seen previously. Nice work

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

No Games for Windows banner?

 

[RumFore]

It drives me nuts to see art go from this....

To this.....

Kind of like ICO. Such a beautiful game with such a god awful box cover. It even turns you off but the US version kind of fits the game more. Wish Room....but a picture of a car on highway out in the middle of no where?

 

[Mario]

Go go New Zealand game development! Good to see this has a box now and isn't too far away.

 

[Joe Molotov]

No trannies, no sale!

The US boxart is great except for the awful font/glow on the title.

 

[Danj]

This looks cute, but what the heck is it?

 

[Kers]

 

[Jive Turkey]

Anybody else getting a Zombies Ate My Neighbors vibe from this?

Top down action game with 4 players fighting their way through monster filled suburbs...

 

[NotMSRP]

This looks cute, but what the heck is it?

The legend of an unemployed ninja.
Ninjas & Pirates in this thread!

 

[ivysaur12]

Supposedly Izuna is pretty good, so that's exciting, since the title is really funny and it'd be a waste on a bad game.

 

[jjasper]

Woah how did I miss this? Is this supposed to be any good?

 

[Owzers]

Much better GoW 2 boxart, i really like the new one. Makes the game just seem so much more "epic" than the other one.
