This sort of thing has always interested me... to see what the peeps in marketing think would go over better in their respective region.

Here are some more recent examples of why it's just cooler to live in Japan...

I really liked Psi-Ops' and Sudeki's. The Crimson Skies one though...oh man. That one is bad.

What's funny is that, going by the American covers, those games never even slightly interested me (minus Metroid). But seeing the artwork on the Japanese covers, I'm actually slightly interested in some of them now. XD! I guess the Japanese know better how to market to people like me.

I like them a lot better than the US boxes. The art makes it look better to me anyway.

Alot of the US/EU ones are the same, but for the most part ours are utterly pants, so think yourself lucky that your second in the boxart quality states
