USA vs Europe box arts

Post by Cairnie »

Just a little poll asking what versions of the boxarts we should use when making articles about the games. Personally I prefer the European ones, since I should imagine that Rayman's fanbase is really huge throughout Europe, but then so is that of the USA. The Euro ones look better to me than the USA ones.

This also applies to alternative titles [eg. Rayman Arena].

I think Raygirl had said once that US box arts were better but that's her opinion.

American boxes are sometimes strange. But... why don't do it like this?
1)First version (I mean, where game was released firstly) at the top.
2)All versions at the bottom.
See it works at Sonic Retro Wiki.

The only USA box art I prefer over the Euro one is Rayman Advance.

I like all of the European box arts better than the US ones. Rayman is European too, so definitely vote Europe.

While we're talking about Europe, could somebody tell me; is the Lisbon Treaty big news in other EU countries outside Ireland?

European for me. :D
Rayman Revolution cover is cooler than Rayman 2: Revolution cover - 2 points for EU. 0 for US.
Rayman M cover is cooler than Rayman Arena cover - 2 points for EU. 0 for US.
Rayman 3 EU cover is cooler than R3 US cover, but i'll admit that US comes closer this time. 2 points for EU. 1 for US.
Rayman Junior is a better title than Amazing Learning Games with Rayman. I guess you all see why. 3 points for EU. 0 for US.
RRR EU and RRR US are both kinda stupid. - 0 for both.
Rayman is European. - 1 extra point for EU.

10 EU - US 1

WE HAVE A WINNER!! :mryellow:

Almost all the games in the world get sold in the order: Japan>USA>EU...
So then EU has more time to think about what their front covers should look like... :mrgreen:

The Irish were the only ones to have a referendum on the Lisbon treaty, and they voted no. Nicolas Sarcozy is really pissed off about this.

None of you realize how important this is. :|

It's also where Rayman is most popular. And it's where this site is based; and most members here are European. And when you combine all these with the fact that the European covers are just better than the others, the answer is quite undeniable...

~I think it would be good to include the other box arts somewhere on the wiki, though. Maybe the pages for the games should feature the European covers, but we should also have a 'Box art gallery' page, containing all the versions of all the box arts we can find?

I like the idea, because there are also curious people who would like to know how are the covers from NTSC and NTSC-J regions. :)
