Some clever fellow has apparently disocvered the Japanese boxart for Other M

The idea that this may be a fancypants slipcover with an unsuited Samus on the boxart underneath seems almost too stupid to be anything other than cool.

The source seems... iffy. But, I'll go along with the idea. Because, it really is a sweet design. If it's real I hope they'll use it for all regions.

Could this be the NA version, or is this just a draft?

That's the one I keep seeing floating around, and it was there at E3 when Reggie was talking about Other M, so I'm thinking that's what we get.

TBH, I'd prefer the slip cover one in the spoiler.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

Japanese boxart is better than the US boxart literally 100% of the time. We get the shittiest boxes.

Not impossible

just highly unlikely

You really do. Shit, even us in Europe get better than you half the time. MGS4, for example. We had badass Yoji Shinkawa art on our boxes, you got a shitty render of Old Snake's face.

Box art shouldn't be that important. It's what's on the inside that counts.

Of course it's not vital. But, it's still kind of cool to have that awesome game sitting in your collection with a nice box art staring at you. Wink

You can't judge a book by it's cover, but that doesn't stop people trying.

Ha! The only part of the game's box that will be showing in my collection is tje side, which just has the logo and the console that it's for.

It's the first thing you see when you pick the game up though, I actually decided not to play Echoes once based on the fact that the box looked like ass.

Also if it wasn't for Metroid Prime Trilogy I'd never have gotten Corruption because the box is so bad.

Well then, blame your bad judgment, not the box.

Those two games have boxes that are physically painful to look at. It's definitely their fault.

Is it just me, or does this look eerily similar to Corruption's boxart? I mean, they both have a space backdrop, two Samuses, and the villain in the top-left corner.

That's Adam in the top left.
Samus adores Adam. what makes you say he's the villain?

Bananas GOOD, Kremlings BAD

...and also, there's too much dead space. There needs to be at LEAST two more images of Samus and/or "Remember Me?" Guy...

Just noticed. In that pictire we also see the entire Bottle Ship.

Which doesn't bode well for those of us who want a planet to play on.

Why am I feeling Fusion 2.0?
