    I just noticed that the Wii U logo is different on the injustice art. It's colored a dark blue gradient instead of the normal flat light blue. It's a slight difference but it does look a bit nicer. Are all Japanese Wii u games like that?

    I think the North American cover art for Shadow of Colossus looks better. The Japanese cover art just looks like a poster for a low budget horror movie from the 70's. (which is kind of cool in it's own way) But even if you do think that's scary I don't get why you would think that's a better choice of cover art for a game like Shadow of the Colossus. It's not a horror game. It's a story in the style of David and Goliath, it's game about a man who fights a battle against all odds and the North American box art depicts that way better. They even chose it for the HD remake.

    Yeah, I think in the Japanese box art they were trying to play up the, "you're the bad guy," note but it sends a mixed message.

    Way to recycle material.

    To me, most of the boxes in this article are more like one billionth better or worse than their western counterparts. Guess the best ones were already used in an earlier article. Still, I'll always get a laugh from Evil Kirby.

    Damn, batman on the japanese injustice cover does have some serious swag. I just looked at it in awe for about a full 30 seconds.

    to be honest some were about even, others i thought the American version was better. but the Japanese version of injustice was FUCKIN SICK!!!!

    Not sure about the rest of the world but in Australia we had both Skyward Sword boxes - the Japanese, colourful one for the regular version and the Gold one for the special addition that comes with the Nintendo orchestra CD

    seriously, do journalists just not need grammar any more? slide 2: one and the same, not one in the same. doesn't even make sense. slide 10: colossi is PLURAL. slide 16 and 17 were stupid because he showed how the NA ones were better, then disagreed with himself.

    Try writing a letter to the editor then instead of attempting to publicly disparage Charlie Barratt. You could've just clicked on his name and messaged him.

    I like how you updated the article but how did you not include the awesome wind waker HD Japanese box art that is guaranteed to be better then anything we get? Also nice touch you kept the old article

  • BaraChat - August 2, 2013 3:15 p.m.

    While I agree with most of these, I'd say that some are definitely debatable.

    I'm so glad Europe gets the Japanese-style covers most of the time. Some of the American ones are fugly. That said, this article kinda pushes it in some cases.

  • robin-smith - August 2, 2013 3:03 p.m.

    as a European user i say, ha! We get the best of both over here. In the case of metal gear solid 4, we got both covers, One card cover slipped over the other cover.

    I found myself disagreeing about half of the time if not more. The most disapointed I have felt about a gamesradar article. I'm not mad, its just a silly list but man you guys are nuts with some of these.

  • shawksta - August 2, 2013 2:36 p.m.

    Its pretty normal that North American Boxes of Kirby games almost ALWAYS switch his happy face with a "LOOK IM SERIOUS" face XD Some of these were damn You think New Blood looks like a hospital anime, Trauma Team just pushes it. Damn it we need another Trauma Team but Persona 5 is more priority and its still not here.

  • artcellrox - August 2, 2013 8:09 p.m.

    Google "American Kirby is Hardcore". First link. Yes, it's a thing.

  • shawksta - August 3, 2013 10:22 p.m.

    Yeah so its pretty normal for it to happen

  • agentkuo - August 2, 2013 2:34 p.m.

    Only like a handful of them are actually better. Most of them are just different.
