I haven't seen a topic about it. I hope this isn't old news.

Looks pretty awesome.

Link to confirm this?

Anyway, yeah, definitely not old news. Looks awesome, though. Way better than the Echoes box, at least.

I found it announced at this site.

And both IGN and Gamespot show it. I think it's same to assume that it's official.

There's also a higher definition pic that you can find here.

Ready and willing.

That post is pointless and sucks beyond comprehension. You will not be warned again.

lol no way

I... honestly don't see how it's better than the Echoes box. Echoes had original art, had the awesome light/dark schemes going on, and also had lots of over and undertones that were really neat (mostly the visor effects, but they nontheless gave more insight into the game). This box is just all the art they've already put out for the game, with the exact same repetative boring image of Samus aiming at the screen (oh no, Samus must be going hunting, because the name of the game doesn't imply that enough!), as well as more of the same old art photoshopped together in the background with a blue tint to it.
Only really cool think about it is the spacy part, and the way there seems to be latitude/longitude lines coming out from the S circle, which is undeniably cool. I don't really have a problem with the boxart as a whole, because it looks pretty nice overall, just I don't see how it's better than the Echoes art, which I felt was pretty rad. Also, you can't beat the shininess of Echoes's box, but that's yet to be confirmed as far as Hunters goes.

Of course we must remember that the American Symphony of the Night cover looked like it was made with a stock silohuette of a castle and effing WordArt.

Hehe, yeah... and looking at the hunters cover more, I really don't have much of an issue with it; it's very well framed, actually, and I really like that a lot about it.

I really like it: Definitely better than the one that they used to have for it (The one with Samus's reflection in her own visor)

Edit: Besides, now I know exactly what to look for in the stores two months from now. Wink

Echoes box seemed too disorganised for me. Too much going on and not enough focus.

Either that or he's retroactively hating every single facet of Echoes.

Dude, how the hell did I get so cynical?

Nah, I absolutely loved the Screw Attack, some of the music, and all of Sanctuary Fortess. Part of Agon, too, but the rest was awful.

That is the coolest boxart yet for the DS. Mario and Luigi comes in a close second. I love Samus aiming towards you with the other bounty hunters in the background. Niceness. 8)

Hmm, for some reason the effect applied to the other bounty hunters ruins this boxart for me. They should have left them coloured and without that glow. As long as the game is good I won't mind it too much, though.

It's a natural thing. In time, all beings shall become cynical.

Not a bad box. Not an amazing work of art, either, but whatever. It's just a box.
