Weegee number 9 looks weird; I don't remember that one at all.

Weegee number 9 looks weird; I don't remember that one at all.

That's the original Smash Bros. on N64. All the promo art for that game looked weird.

EDIT: I know all of them except number 12, and I know I'm going to kick myself when I find out what it is.

Number 8 reminded me of how awesome the Mario Strikers artwork is. Closer:

They were supposed to be plush toys instead of trophies back then. I think it looks great.

iirc, the promo art was only used for the EU and JPN version too. NA got a more traditional promo/box art so the majority of users (on this board) wouldn't recognize it easily.

6 is Terminator 2 and 28 is Katamari Damacy

Nope! Mine was the US edition and everything was the same weird plush toy-style promo art. It was only from Melee onward where everything turned prerendered models, and in some cases realistic texturing.

A true master of the Google search would've known that one.

 

[Neuromancer]

I do it!

No, the US got that art too. This was the US box art.

29. Is Mario Party 2, I've played that game enough to know the suits from Space Land when I see them.

 

[theSlacker]

They missed one.

[shira]

Ffs at least name the thread properly.

Ps damn that's hard I don't know him well enough

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Explain Weegee to me please. I missed the boat on that one.

It's the sprite used for the PC version of Mario is Missing.

Remember, subtle.

Took me a bit but I managed to figure it out, and it's a tricky one since I don't think they used the full art that's from on the box.

But if you give up, it's

It's funny, because the artists actually forgot to draw Luigi into the cover art and had to resort to making him barely visible in the background at the last minute.

 

[Justified]

Where the Hell is the 'Mario Is Missing' Luigi? That was his first starting role!

12. isn't it the paper mario 3ds game?

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Mario is missing is missing.

Nintendo would really like to forget that it exists.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

That's the original Smash Bros. on N64. All the promo art for that game looked weird.

Oh wow. I googled some art and I really don't like how they made them look.

Explain Weegee to me please. I missed the boat on that one.

Weegee is what Nintendo fans have been calling Luigi the last decade. Whenever Luigi pronounces his own name, it sounds exactly like "Weegee". In some games he does pronounce "L" more clearly, especially more recently, but the name Weegee has stuck around. It's also been used in other various memes and sprites. I remember when I was visiting the GT and IGN forums. Literally no one ever called him Luigi; it was always Weegee. That's simply how you spell his name on the cybernet.
