No, This Is The Right Way To Do A Japanese Game’s Box Art


Just like it did with Europe, Nintendo is giving Xenoblade fans the chance to pick the game’s alternate cover before it’s released in North America.

Only difference being, North America’s covers are a lot better.

They’re the full wrap-around deal, with nothing to spoil the art but the game’s logo on the spine. There’s not even a Wii logo on the front.

Most of them are all-new images, not used in Europe’s voting. On the one hand, I like the fact there’s no jargon or logos, just beautiful art. On the other, it’s going to look strange on a shelf without the same Wii spine every other game has.

And on the other hand…what do I care, I live in Australia and won’t even get this version!

You can vote below. If you’re wondering what the actual cover looks like, the one you’ll see on a store shelf, see here.
