ThePhleo | 2,184 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Well, I think we've finally done it. We've reached peak shitty box art in 2020. Rumor has it that this is the official boxart for Fifa 21. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,405 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Yeah, Castlevania DOS above and Karnaaj Rally come to mind . When you open up to computer games, anything is possible. Jet Set Willy's box art is positively repulsive and it's one of the most lauded games of the era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 This is just disturbing. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin532 | 467 Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 At least JSW has personality to it. Fifa 21 looks bland and was probably done in photoshop in 5 minutes. The box art for EA Sports games has been uhhh...interesting for the past couple of years now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK | 260 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I bet it was intentionally bad to get everyone talking about it. I never would never have given Fifa 21 a second of thought had you not been turned off by the cover and posted this. Free advertising! Pretty smart actually...

Matt 4120 | 240 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Pro Wrestling on the Master System isn’t the worst its just-nope I don’t have anything to back it up. A lot of early Master System games had really cheap looking, of what I would call clip art. I think it makes them unique, but some just aren’t right, and this one makes no sense. If I were to judge this game to let’s say, Pro Wrestling on the NES just by box art alone, I’d take the NES game (I’d take the NES game over the Sega one any day in any department ). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumez | 2,951 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Even though the art itself is really awesome, I think the LRG release of "Humper" deserves a special mention 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno if it's just the pic, but that looks really dim. That'd be awesome cover art if you could actually make out anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintegageo | 582 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Let's be honest - US NES game art was usually ass compared to the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so damn weird, and I'm not sure it's just laziness. For some reason it felt like a calculated strategy. Take this amazing cover art for Ghouls 'n Ghosts The Master System game came out later, and reused the same motive, yet redrawn to look much, much worse. There's no way it couldn't have been intentional. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
