But what about those times where it was handled tastefully? In Japan, it’s not uncommon for publishers to have their own “best price” labels in addition to the platform holders, but I wanted to kick things off with the Japanese “Minna no Susume” releases on Wii.
I had no idea until today that the “Minna no Susume” (known as Nintendo Selects globally) packaging actually took on the form of a sleeve that goes over the original case and art. Classy!
Always thought the Zombies ate my neighbours reprint missed the mark in art style too, with fantasy novel style realistic shading.
Why didn’t they just use the existing PAL box art if they wanted to drop the original b-movie poster style one? Not brilliant but looks more like the game.
I’m slightly partial to the BEST HIT selection for some reason, I guess it’s just the left border that’s actually quite attractive somehow. had no idea Mamorukun Curse saw a rerelease under that label!
