Eh, nothing. I just felt like bringing it up because I brought up clowns earlier.
One can definitely hope.
Oh lol99

Indeed.
You'd be surprised what goes through my mind.
...I've got only one thing to say, and that is: What the ****?You'd be surprised what goes through my mind.
And in yet another topic change, I think I just found one of the strangest game box art (box arts?) to grace the planet.

That looks like the title of a low budget adult film. :/![]()
Where's the hot chick then?
Who said it was a straight flick?

Do I want to know what the actual gameplay of any of these games are like? Do any of us want to know?105
Yeah, I don't get it either. Oh, there's more.

The only one of these I've seen is the last one, Dudes with Attitude. It's some sort of puzzle game (I think) and it's as good as you'd expect... not very. It does have a level editor though so there's that. And guess what? More bad box art!
Oh hey look, that one game JonTron played in that one video about bootleg Disney games.![]()
Curiosity may or may not get the best of me on the others.....
That'd be fine, but as you basically pointed out already, it's flaunting it's success a little bit too much....112

And it is at these points that one is stepping into "Uncanny Valley" territory.![]()

I wonder what the majority of Capcom and Mega Man's developers truly imagined him looking like in detail at the time....but it's a good thing later versions didn't turn out like either of those.![]()

Beats me on the other ones.
The logo for the game is smaller than the 10/10 at the top. Why.
Yeah, Mega Man box art was not good, haha. 2 and 3 also have some bad box art. 4 and 5 look better but they're still not good. And then finally 6 broke the streak with actual quality box art.
They wanted to make sure we could see it.
It's not the only franchise to have suffered like that but it's definitely one of the most well known and infamous examples.
I dunno, I think after the 3rd 10/10 on the box, I got the point.They wanted to make sure we could see it.
Mega Man 1 didn't sell very well in North America and I'm sure the box art had something to do with that. Had Mega Man 2 not sold well, the series wouldn't have lasted after that.It's not the only franchise to have suffered like that but it's definitely one of the most well known and infamous examples.
Good thing the actual quality of the game wasn't affected by all that.
Good thing it avoided that outcome.
...I don't think I've ever realized just how generic or simple modern game box art has been through the past few years until now. Geez. It'd be nice to see the box art be a bit more creative and give a better impression of what the game is like instead of just slapping a face or a person from the game (or a Sports star in the case of some of the sports game) posing on the front of it. At least some of those later modern entries on the list were more creative and can actually give a good impression of what the game holds, even if there's much less going on in them (in some cases I feel that's not a bad thing, but it's usually better than some generic or unknown character taking up the whole thing).
Yeah, it was definitely great at its time. But man, it feels so weird compared to the other games. It's also really glitchy (SEIZURE WARNING! Also, volume warning about 11 and a half minutes in.). It still aged better than Metroid 1 and Zelda 1 though.
Another trait with earlier and older games (though usually one would be deliberately trying to find such extreme glitches. I think) Admittedly though I didn't expect it to be nearly that glitchy.
