Rissa di box art: Duel – Adolescenti tartarughe ninja mutanti IV: Tartarughe nel tempo
Happy Bank Holiday weekend to you folks in the UK, and welcome everyone to another edition of Rissa di box art!
Last week, it was the turn of Wave Race 64 to come under BAB scrutiny — which was fitting as the game launched on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass service. it was a close (wave) race between the top two, but Japan won with 51% of the votes. North America did pretty well for itself too, bagging 42%, but Europe looks like it crashed into the waves with only 7%. It’s those black borders, we tell you!
Questa settimana, we’re going back a little bit further, and it might be worth grabbing a slice of pizza. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: La Collezione Cowabunga launches on Tuesday 30th August, so we thought it was about time to put one of the best Turtles games’ box art under the microscope. Che è di destra, sono le Adolescenti tartarughe ninja mutanti IV: Tartarughe nel tempo‘s… tempo.
Europe and North America are back together to take on Japan, and this really is a clash of the titans with two iconic boxes up for a brawl.
Assicurati di esprimere i tuoi voti nel sondaggio qui sotto; but first, diamo un'occhiata agli stessi disegni di box art.
Nord America & Europe
Hero Turtles, tartarughe Ninja. Whatever you call them, it’s hard to deny that this box art rules. It’s a big part of many of our childhoods! The grittier art style, the cosmic purple background, Raphael on a hoverboard, the ship, dinosaur, train — it screams “what on earth is this game about!?” But in the best possible way, naturalmente. The title in the dead centre is also pretty iconic. ‘Turtles in Time’ in stone, that looks like the Turtles could kick it down at any time? Sì, it’s all pretty badass.
Japan
Japan has gone for the complete opposite end of the spectrum and adopted the same cartoon style that they’ve previously used. It’s a lot cheerier, but we also really love this one. The title down the bottom maybe doesn’t have as much impact, but the four Turtles posing together, with Donatello popping his head out of the sewer, is just Carino and makes us remember a different part of our Turtles-loving childhoods. Oh, and the Statue of Liberty on both boxes is a nice touch.
Bene, we’re glad this week isn’t up to us! Have your say in this week’s brawl by voting for your favourite!
Grazie per aver votato! Ci vediamo la prossima volta per un altro round della Box Art Brawl.
