Mario Kart DS

Don't get me wrong, this game's awesome. But how would a little kid know that from a cover like this?? Those poor kids are lilable to ignore this fantastic game and pick up an absolute piece of crap with good boxart (Harlem Globetrotters World Tour, I'm looking at YOU)

I always liked the Mega Man X box art. It's certainly a lot better than the early Mega Man boxes, but they should have used this fan-made one I found by Google:

Now THAT would have been awesome!

For worst box art, I pick this:

Horrible box art added to a horrible game. Fester's face was always fugly, but you don't need that much hideousness up close! It'll wind up giving you nightmares.

My favorite box art is the one in Zelda TP. I haven't really seen so much poor box arts.

Nah, that's the best ever.

Ninjas and golf? What more do we need?

...Maybe a pirate. A space pirate!

...

No...just a pirate. Don't want to go overboard; the game will just look stupid.

Space pirates...what was I thinking?!?

That box art is so sick. Mario is like a trained and elegant breakdancing gymnast from the streets, conquering the Very noble, expensive, and high-class sport of funded professional Kart racing. Simple but extravagant. Plus the Kart is ILL.

I choose this one to have both the best, and the worst, box art:

I like the fact that they threw the word "Professional" in there for good measure. Because, let's face it, "Baseball Stars" doesn't get the word across that professionals will be in the game.

Also, why does the guy in the blue "Mew York" hat have his head on backwards? That can't be good for his neck.

By the way, I don't know of any Baseball teams named "Samurai" or "Fantasy", but then again, I was never a big fan of baseball...

Everyone seems to have bendy, rubber bats. I heard they're illegal in the "Professional League".

Oh yeah, and one guy is a ninja.

"Hei!! Let's Throw Miracle Ball" pretty much sums it up right there. Yes, let's throw miracle ball indeed.

actually... that's a good idea!
let's get an Atary's dev kit (lol) and make that a brand new game
it's gonna be called

Space Ninja Golf Pirate

that IS a kickass name.
Even the "Ninjabread Man" name sucks compared to that

oh, and BTW, the game would be about a Pirate lost in the Space and to survive and return to his planet he must find his way trough the Ninja Golf business.

oh, well... not really, maybe it could be just a Pirate playing Golf in the Space against Ninjas

About the Mario Kart DS cover - Mario Kart Wii looks like it will have similar cover art, with Mario and Luigi floating in air with the Wii Wheels. Personally, I liked Double Dash's cover better.

hey! this one reminds me that an old box for Barbarian II had this bloke who would later become the resident "bad boy" in the british version of "American Gladiators", cleverly titled "Gladiators".

NES Dance Arobics wins. Even over Ninja Golf. Marketing in the 80's was awesome.

Lol, I still own this game on the NES. Anyway, I was watching some Creating of Megaman thing or whatever, and I remember the creator saying he pulled someone off the street and told him what to draw. Although its been awhile since I seen it, so im not 100% sure.   I have this game as well :P.

The worst has to be Furu-furu Park, the cover is the screenshots of the game, how lame is that?

Ya know, maybe it's just me, but I actually don't like the UK box art to RE4. I remember reading an article about the best box art a while ago and they listed it as the best as well, but I don't see the appeal. Sure, the chainsaw guy is awesome, but the black and white color scheme just isn't doing it for me. I think the US box art is way better, but it's just my opinion.

You do have a point about the Orange Box, though; reminds me more of a sales ad than box art.

WOW, that's so cool! except the guy with the chainsaw could be replaced with other thing. But yeah, it's so cool.
