What is the best box art you have seen for a game?

The one that I always thought was really cool was the first Ninja Gaiden on NES and Arcade.

Yeah, Ninja Gaiden had a pretty cool cover. A superbly drawn ninja with a city exploding behind him.

Now keep in mind I had no idea who Fabio was at this time. I was a little kid and all I saw was a bad-arse barbarian:

Iron Sword III

At the risk of being cliché, I think Super Mario Bros. 3 had the best box art. Everything about it says pure simple fun. The original Dragon Warrior also has an awesome cover. I'm afraid any suggestion at this point, though, has been trumped by the immensity of Ninja Golf.

My Top 5 (counting down)

#5

The best racing game cover for what I believe is the single most brutally underrated racing game. Period.

#4

Alright, I will admit that there is a bit of bias here, but it perfectly constitutes the balance of the game's title. It really represents Smackdown vsRaw.

#3

Beautiful, vibrant colours combine here to perfectly represent everything that Galaxy is about.

#2

Cloud is holding a massive sword. What more can I say?

#1

The perfect blend of creativity and simplicity designed for the perfect game.

Yeah, that's pretty sick. I would've totally bought that as a kid, because I bought games based on their covers when I was kid.

The artwork is reminiscent of the artsytle of the artwork on the Japanese disc of Panzer Dragoon for Sega Saturn:

I would agree if it was any other WW2 shooter other than Frontline
