Some important NEWS about the PC Engine!

Wow I've never seen the TG16 R-Type box art before. What the hell were they thinking redrawing the art for TG16 games, it's like they went out of their way to make it look lame  Also why change the font on the name to make it look boring and generic? Baffling!

It is amazing—so much work and effort for bland results.

However, I have long-argued that the North American art should be appreciated.

Life is boring if the original PCE art was recycled.

And, sometimes, the NA art is better. Rarely...but it happens.

LEGENDARY AXE is superior, for example.

I feel the same way. I have raged about it so much that i sound like a broken record, so I just agree.

Hahahhahha. Wow, that's ridiculous art for Strider.

I believe that western art is something to be appreciated—it adds another layer to the hobby we love.

Our boxes used to be manly, just like our men.  The wussification of western society is for real.

if it was like uk or us made hifi equipment or german classic inspired car mercedes example g class, then an utilitarian look would be fine, but these box art is something a high school student can do much better than these 'supposed' professionals
