Pelea de arte de caja – Duelo: Búsqueda del Dragón III (NES)

Asegúrese de emitir sus votos en la siguiente encuesta; pero primero, echemos un vistazo a los propios diseños de box art.

América del norte

The North American cover is… extraño. There’s no denying that this design goes all in on the RPG stylings — weapons and dragons and gold (Oh mi) — but it’s not very Dragon Quest-y, Lo es? La original cover took a more ‘realistic’ approach too, but at least that had some action to it. This is just a bunch of weapons stacked up in front of a dragon statue. It pulls you in with intrigue more than anything else, and we can’t knock it for that.

Japan

Now here’s a different approach. The late, great Akira Toriyama’s art showcases a very different game, one built on its characters (and dragons). The full cast stands front and centre, staring directly into our souls as if to say, “Continuar, Cómpralo. I dare you.” Below, the silhouette of a castle stands out against a red sunrise. It still has all of the classic RPG trappings, but presents them in a very different way.

Gracias por votar! We’ll see you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
