Rayman Pirate-Community

I never did like the American redraw of Classic Sonic, so it's between the two Mega Drives for me. I'm leaning slightly towards PAL because I really like the background art with Eggman and the animals.

Well, this wasn't a success.

I've gotta say the Jap art. The NTSC art is kind of awkward, and while I like the PAL art a lot, the Jap art is a lot more fun (and not messily so, like Revolution was).

And, another poll is up!

Ratchet looks badass on the NTSC-U one.

Definitely in love with how they set up the PAL version's box art, so my vote goes to just that.

Poll No. 4 is up!

PAL. Because nostalgia.
Also because it doesn't butcher the traditional "RAYMAN" logo by writing it all in minuscules.

I prefer the NTSC-U/C logo, it’s cuter.

Cuter!? I think R3's cover is probably the edgiest of the lot in general, I think it's the only one where Rayman doesn't actually smile.

But given the two, I'll go for the European one, I feel it's more atmospheric with the darker backdrop of the forest with the Hoodlums lurking behind.

While the brighter colours of the American one arguably fits R3's more upbeat tone the European one straight up looks nicer. Also the more I stare at it the more it disturbs me that Rayman's fists in the American one is just the power up re-coloured onto his hands.

Gonna have to go with the PAL version this time. I really like that shade of blue, it fits well within the environment behind Rayman.

Wow I never noticed that.

I agree. But still I like the font in the NTSC logo for some reason.

PAL... the NTSC-U is just too cartoony for me... And those chained thingys on Rayman's hands are so much cooler

@CHR, I did consider the other versions of Rayman 2, but I went off the main versions when I made that statement. I forgot about Rayman M though, so I'll take that one.

My vote goes to the PAL box art! The dark atmosphere of this box art is really lovely, also Rayman looks cooler on this one.

Haha, there's 'r3' written on Rayman's sole in the US box art. Maybe he's secretly running a shoe producing company in the Glade of Dreams. I wonder how many habitants need shoes who aren't Rayman.

Henchmen do wear shoes actually.

Yes, but they would surely boycott his shoe company 'Rayke √'.
