I love the US Zelda boxes, they feel so prestigious.

How about Tonic Trouble?

So are we due a new poll on this?

Yeah sure! I'll update the poll asap
EDIT: I was doing some research and I'm not sure if it's really worth it... I mean, nothing personal against Tonic Trouble, it's just that the box arts are extremely similar, right? The only difference is Tonic Trouble being translated.
Maybe I'm missing something here and there's a different box art. If you guys can show me the one different, we'll go with this option; if not, I'll look for an alternative.
Oh, and here you have the results of the previous poll. It seems most of us prefer the Japanese one!

Yeah I will admit, it's mostly just a different take on the same artwork. I don't think I'd find myself being able to express an explicit preference outside of I can understand what one box is saying.
If Tonic Trouble does not prove to be viable...I was surprised to see that there's only ever been one Kirby game that's been polled. Which is interesting given the whole
American Kirby is Hardcore trope (granted, that's no longer the case, I think since Triple Deluxe, the boxarts are the same across all regions).
So...Kirby Super Star's boxart? I know it's substantially different in Japan.

Fair enough Master, I think that one's a better idea. At least they are different!
NTSC-U
NTSC-J
So, which style do you prefer?

That wooden box is so tuff, I’m voting for it for sure.

Despite the fact that I'm usually a fan of vibrant colours and more going on, I really think the Japanese one looks far cooler here.

Sounds like the Japanese box art is the preferred unanimous option. Have we ever had a poll in this thread with such a result?
EDIT: Looking at the OP, looks like we have...a few times in fact.

Right? It's such a natural look for Kirby!

Ooooh do you think someone's literally lasered it onto wood?

I have to pick the Japanese one as well, I'm a sucker for things like that.
I have a laser machine out in the shop I haven't used in a while, and I have technically lasered line art of Reese into wood before with it. It's so cool how this stuff works.

Since there's a remake for PS5, what about a comparison between Demon's Souls (PS3) and Demon's Souls Remake (PS5)?

Have we discussed the cover of R1GBC here? I think the cover of this game is worth discussing.

Good idea, it doesn't look like we've done this one yet.
