What’s your favorite video game box/cover art?

[You got mail!]

Like the title says, what is your favorite video game box art/cover? I’ve got many but I’ll just talk about one for now.

One of my favorites is the one for Dead Rising. I learned that the background of it is a messy mishmash of promotional images so that’s funny and look at that horde of zombies, TV explosion etc. It’s glorious.

I LOVE the PaRappa the Rapper NA box art. IDK why. Maybe it's because of the way they tilted PaRappa or the green logo or its simplicity in general. Either way, there's something about it that other video game box artworks (including the JP version) don't have...

Mine is probably either Final Fantasy X (the original), Persona 5 Royal, or Final Fantasy XII’s. Final Fantasy has amazing artwork and so does Persona 5. I liked the switch’s cover of FFXII too but I prefer the ps4’s cover art because of all the characters and details.

namesake posting, my all-time favorite video game cover has to be of the orginal release for umineko no naku koro ni chiru: episode 8 - twilight of the golden witch

There's probably lots that I like, but only one comes to mind at the moment. I love the box art for Majora's Mask 3D, and I almost wish I had the physical copy of the game instead of digital. T^T I actually had this as my avatar shortly after I joined TBT!

Ok, but I love the game covers for Windows Touhou games, there's something unique and magical about how the Touhou game covers are designed. Most of the covers featured the final boss or extra boss of the said game (although later titles added the silhouette of the stage 4 and 5 bosses in the cover)

(why is it so hard to find a high-quality scan of Klonoa 1's boxart, it's so good for a PS1 game. this is the best I could find, and even then it's the JP version, which is arguably better)
