    I dunno why, but I always had a fondness for the pure WTFness that is the Phalanx box art.

    "The box art designers later admitted that they had deliberately chosen this theme in order to attract the customer with something original considering there were many space shooters in the market that looked alike." It's on the wikipedia page. Although it has a [citation needed] thingy after that, I remember reading that in an old EGM.




    What.




    This terrified me as a child.

    I'm not seeing the big deal about the Castlevania box art, is it the light brown haired guy looking stupid, or is it just the fact I've never played a Castlevania and should expect a different look from the series?

    I have no problem with the box art. I have a problem with a picture of the DS case ON it's own Case as the box art!

    Megaman 2 is pretty horrible too!



    Could've at least put up a more memorable character than a fish from Bubble Man's stage.
