Games That Might Be Better Western Cover Art

Objections are accepted. I hereby confess that.

I was surprised when I first saw this western ver cover art. I thought it was very cool and much better than the deformed style. The problem is that it doesn't match the image of the main game at all lol. JP/Mega Drive ver is good too. And PC Engine ver of the cover art by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko is very good and impressive but is not well-known at all. (Arthur like Ramba Ral from Gundam!) 0 registrations!

CONCEPTUALIZATION [Legendary: Failure]
I am gradually becoming more and more fond of this cover art.

I can't stop laughing. This cover art is far superior to the JP ver in making people smile. I didn't realise there were even figures of him.

Spelunker, watch out for the bumps! Weakest character in video game history. The Western version of the COVER ART seems to be a faithful representation of the difficult situation in which he was placed.

I would humbly suggest Mecarobot Golf over the Japanese Serizawa Nobuo no Birdie Try for consideration on this list, though it could be argued that it's more of a success on the part of the localisation than the cover artist.

@87th I was so surprised that I forgot to write something important. Thank you for the great suggestion!

I was very surprised to see ICO and then the Disco Elysium skill check made me chuckle.

@mutyumu :P Interpreting failure as a good or interesting thing is one of the great things Disco Elysium did. And I also like this cover art failure of the ICO in the sense that it gives me a laugh lol.
