Some good suggestions
The last two I posted were meant to be a joke, they have to be up there with the worst box art of all time.
We probably already had this discussion (someone find the old thread(s)!), but NA Dungeon Explorer is best described as banal, boring (I likened it to a print you'd find hanging in a coffee shop or hotel lobby), whereas NA Valis III is completely the opposite: it is BOLD, STRIKING and PUNCHES YOU IN THE FACE with all of the intensity of
Hardbodies 2 (oops!)
PUMPING IRON II: The Women.
For folks who are actually somewhat familiar with Yuko, the Valis series, etc., this NA cover is even more amusing (the hiccups of localization).
Valis III NA, for all its flaws, is actually awesome (for its sincere attempt at intensity & brooding atmosphere, coupled with the unintentional, disturbing Uncanny Valley).
Yes, I am predictable: I just can't let folks trash-talk the VASTLY MORE INTRIGUING covers (like Valis III NA) whilst they heap praise on TOTALLY GENERIC covers (see this thread!) that are OK (technically), but are so hackneyed and trite that your heart will never, ever be moved by it.
Valis III NA stirs my heart more than a million generic Soldier Blades or ________________ could ever hope to.
Yes, those are fighting words and I love you all. I really do. You are good people.
Now, forgive me as I find my old
Art of Noise albums and do some push-ups.
Update: hahahahahahahahaha. I confused a ladies bodybuilding film with some goofy 80's trash.
