The website is in portuguese, but it doesn't take much to understand how to browse through the pictures.
How embarassing are those? http://jogos.uol.com.br/album/piores_capas_album.jhtm
-
This site confuses me to no end. Also, it better have the Megaman boxes
-
...really? All you need to do is click on the pics.
-
Some of those really aren't that bad. I can't quite understand how they got in there.
That one Japanese game with the buff dudes, though... Nightmares...
-
Please explain the Castlevania one.
-
Well duh, it's a "greatest hits" styled box. They all look like that.
-
Since when did Duke Nukem get a cybernetic arm? And what's with this nerdy yellow fat headed guy eating floating pepperonis? And apparently muscular Weird AL will defeat King Kong.
-
Well duh, it's a "greatest hits" styled box. They all look like that.
With the DS box being part of the cover?
They literally took a picture of the DS box art and put it on the DS box art.

They got lazy and didn't want to use much Photoshop.

Yeah. I swear, it's more common than you think.
-
I personally have never seen recursing box art.
-
...really? All you need to do is click on the pics.
Must've loaded wrong. All the formatting was fucked and I couldn't see any pics.
-
No, yeah, they're all fucked up, I don't even get some of them.
-
Some Guy's Foot, the game.
-
Actually, I though Phalanx looked incredible. I agree that the rest were pretty awful though. Why can't they draw mega-man?
-
Its a shooting game, not a game about an old man playing banjo.
Thats what it says, at least.
Yeah, I looked it up. But I still like the cover. I dunno why...
-
That is the pilot.
-
I've always hated that Megaman one.
And the Iron Sword one! What idiot exec thought little boys would want to look at Fabio?
-
Yeah, the Megaman ones were... uhhhhh... what's the word..?
-
Oh snap. "Lord of King?" Man I ignant cuz I din't even be knowing you could be a Lord of King.
Lords and Kings you know I thought that was as high as it went but no boy, this muthafruck be the Lord of King. That isn't just the Lord of the Kings, hell no. Homeboy's the Lord of the very concept of patriarchal monarchy.
-
That game is known as Astyanax in America I believe. Odd title the Japanese cart...
-
FAIL is a ****ing understatement. These were COMPANIES who made these games. It just shows most college kids are actually pretty goddamn retarded. Most of those games were utter garbage too. I would rather take a chance at eating my GF on her rag than play this ****. Megaman was a great video game but the guys who made the cartridge cover need to hop on the fail boat along with those other douche bags.

You have a very agressive personality.

Thanks dude ;) My mom has Irish in her.. I'm also a scorpio. That probably explains it all. I'm also crabby right now from Insomnia.
-
I'm also a scorpio.
Fuuuuck. I live with two Scorpios, and they are complete bitches.
Worst people in the world (no offense).
-
Irish people are fun.
My grandma's like 100% Irish and ornery as all hell.

LOL! None taken at all. I want to kill other Scorpio's too most of the time.

It makes me want to play the board game Sorry with their head helmet knobs.

That box art makes me giggle, thinking of some hilarious old black and white sci-fi film about aliens/astronauts.
-

It wasn't the fault of Capcom in their case. The megaman covers have some social background, if you didn't already know. Acause of tensions 'tween America and Japan, the fact that most popular games were made in Japan was something of an embarassment. Certain measures were taken to cover that fact up, among them redesigning box art to make it more appealing to westerners.
The original rockman box art:

Good God, that's awful. I love how they didn't bother shading around the guy in the foreground's head, so it looks like he's just got a tiny face over a vast expanse of skin.
-

Yeah, it looks like he has a fat *** head.
-
To me, the worst part about it is that it looks mostly correct.
-
The Bomberman one actually looks almost exactly like what Bomberman would be like if drawn realisticly.
-
It still looks bad, though. Even if it matches the character correctly or whatever, it looks awful.
There are things which shouldn't be drawn realisticly, and Bomberman was one of them.
-
He's a robot, Val. His head is not like the heads that you humans have. :P
He's clearly not a robot though, or at least they didn't care to draw him like one.
-

And Megaman.
-
But does he have a huge bloated human face?
And while we're on the subject of crappy game boxes, has anyone noticed the art on the covers of the used games at Game Stop where the original cover isn't available look horrendously bad? Who the hell did they hire to do that art, the CEO's autistic son?
Or maybe the horrible art on used games is their sneaky way of getting you to buy new games instead.
-
Who the hell did they hire to do that art, the CEO's autistic son?

Yeah, that art is baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad.
I have like four of them, and I'm not quite sure why I haven't torched them yet.

You know what I mean. Really autistic.

If you're a fan of Final Fantasy IV, you may want to have a barf bag handy. Cleaing puke out of you computer keyboard is a bitch.

Christ, why were pants optional for male characters all those years ago?
-
Seems like the only two options for males are no pants, or MC Hammer pants.

Oh damn... that's awful. Seriously, what the hell!? It's disgusting! Gosh...
And that Kirby...
-
I think the worst one of those Final Fantasy images had to be this one:
(http://afghanant.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/2e165a1.jpg)
That is not Palom and Porom. That is Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.
Someone in that forum mentioned he couldn't tell which of them was supposed to be female. Well, that easy. the girl's the one who doesn't have a gigantic crotch bulge.
-
Yeah, they're definitely the worst. Seriously, I wouldn't even want that on my team, no matter the reasons.
And if you check Porom in The After Years... hard to believe that monstrosity could become this:
(http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/a/a9/After_Porom.png)
---
But seriously, they don't even look like their sprites. There's not even one resemblance!
Horrible...
-
Good Lord! I've been scarred for life!
-
Just so you know, this is how Amano drew them:
(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/8/83/Ff4_palom.jpg)(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/e/e7/Ff4_porom.jpg)
And this is how they look in FFIVDS' opening FMV:
(http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/2/25/PalomDS.jpg)(http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/0/0c/PoromDS.jpg)
Those two trolls do not even bear a passing resemblance to these.
-
I like some of what Amano does. Other times, I feel like I could do a better job with my eyes closed.
I mean seriously, WTF is with that second one's index finger? It's way too long! Does he not erase his mistakes at all?
-
XD!!! And what is with the demon things? Also Palom(?) is choking his to death.
-
They also both look retarded... but at least they're recognizable.
-
Frankly, Charas has scarred me for life again. I'm not really sure what I can say...
-
If that's all it takes to scar you, then you're, frankly, a pussy.
-
I must agree, although the Dread Kirby is quite frankly terrifying.
-
You guys seem to have called my bluff somewhat... Never mind...
-
Frankly, I don't know what image is the most twisted and grotesque. But gotta love those hilarious box arts. Now I want to play Action Foot.
-
I just noticed the Perom/Porom/whatever kids have eyeballs on the insides of their capes. That's a little creepy, like some pedo-eyes are ogling their nubile bodies at all times.
-
How can you even think those are eyeballs?
-
Obviously they are frog eggs.
-
How can you even think those are eyeballs?
She's voyeuristic at heart. We seem to have something in common.
-
nubile [nōō-'bĭl, nyōō'-bīl']
1. suitable for marriage, esp. in regard to age or physical development; marriageable.
2. sexually developed and attractive. Used of young women.
...you know they're five, right?
-
Pish posh, Musha. In christ's day that was middle aged!
-
We didn't render the girl in a "sexy" pose, with her hips all swung out and stuff.
-
I assume most people here know Shin Megami Tensei, or at least the SMT: Persona series, right?
Well, here's the first game of them that came out in the americas:
(http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/megaten/jackbrosj.jpg)
For the Virtual Boy no less. You can recognize Jack Frost, Pyro Jack and the henceforth forgotten Jack the Ripper. They are iconic.
I had to show that for you guys to see exactly what is embarassing about the next image:
(http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/megaten/jackbros.jpg)
That's the cover in the american release.
-
Did nobody think it was the slightest bit offensive to have a cartoon protagonist based on a real-life serial killer?
-
I actually think the American box art looks pretty cool. Inaccurate, but cool.
-
XD!!! I love SMT. This is hilarious though. They look like characters from Retro Puppet Master or something, Jack the Ripper specifically.
-
Did nobody think it was the slightest bit offensive to have a cartoon protagonist based on a real-life serial killer?
The US was. They changed him to "Jack Skelton".
But SMT was never very kid-friendly, you can after all summon Satan himself as a Persona.
-
The US was. They changed him to "Jack Skelton".
Jack Skellington, Jack Skelton... WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!? O_O

America hates wimpy cartoon box arts, we need MANLY EXPLOSIONS AND STUFF **** YEAH *headbutts the wall*

Have you forgotten the rules? Nothing is offensive after a certain amount of time has passed.

Blanka just raped Ryu in an alleyway and he's looking to go two for two with Chun-Li.

Epic Mario with Thor's hammer?
-
^ vs. psychotic Donkey Kong with a beer keg.
-
That explains EVERYTHING.
-
The game is suddenly so much more epic than I remember.
-
I don't know whether to laugh or be awestruck.
-
You can, however either pity or laugh at the Pac-Man one... it is just awful. XD
-
True. So true....
I mean, what the hell?
-
I, too, dig Bowser, but Kirby will give me nightmares for all eternity.
ROFL I can't stop laughing.
-
That's kind of false advertising, too. I don't think Mario/Jumpman even has a hammer in the game.
And for Pac Man, they should've gone with something like that Pac Man t-shirt that hipsters always wear.
(http://globalnerdy.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/pac-man_t-shirt.jpg)
-
I'm pretty sure you could grab a hammer to destroy incoming barrels for a short amount of time.
-
Oh, perhaps.
-
(http://globalnerdy.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/pac-man_t-shirt.jpg)
I have always been a fan of this.
-
What is it with game boxart trying to make a game look far more epic than it actually is?
-
Because a lot of these games needed the epic. Let's face it; some of them had crappy settings.
-
Yeah, but the epic box art is just setting you up to be disappointed by the non-epic actual game.
-
What... are you telling me that game wasn't about a disembodied foot!? DAMNIT!

Not the worst box art I've seen, but still pretty bad. Honestly, how hard is it to draw Mega Man?

Pretty damn hard. To this day, I still can't draw him.

I'm actually kind of embarrassed just looking at all these.

Why is Dr. Light the one sending Drill Man to fight Megaman?
He's using that as an excuse to get a handful of booty.
-
(http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1669/orangebeard.png)
Shadow or beard? You decide!
-
That's Crash Man, and what are they all smiling for? That just looks scary.
The other box art looks like something pulled from the cover of Ray Bradbury's sci-fi novels.
-
At the time, probably.
-
Speaking of booty, look at the thighs on mega man.
I like how he has to counter balance the recoil of that laser gun.
-
(http://www.destructoid.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/megaman2box_front.jpg)
Why is there a ladder leading to that lava pit!?
And since when did Megaman actually use a laser pistol instead of his arm-cannon thing?
-
That list only displays a few of some of the worst box art I've seen.
Wonder Boy in Monster Land:

Sky Kid:

Now compare that to what we got here:

Valis 3:
[spoiler](http://kidfenris.com/valis3turbocover.jpg)[/spoiler]
Yes... This game is about sexy anime chicks that throw swords and battle monsters and yadda yadda.
Of course, Americans can't have such slanty-eyed filth! We need she-males!

Street Smart

The Guardian Legend

What the hell was wrong with the Japanese box art!?

Light Crusader

This is priceless. Some guy with a constipated facial expression is swinging his sword in a stiff manner at a tripping army of little green men.
And here is an European (and maybe japanese) box art:

I found this on a "worst video game box art ever" list. "Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy." Makes you want to find out what it's all about, doesn't it? ....No? Yeah, me neither.
-
Could have been done better, I am utterly clueless on what it is supposed to be. A love story? Spaceships? A DESERT? What?
Everyone loves Magical Trevor, the tricks that he does are ever so clever...
-
Looks like a game involving furry action and yiffing.
-
The lower left picture suggests they died after mutating and growing horns. But I digress, game is just as confusing.

I'm as confused as you are, kid. This box art gives the impression the game is mainly about Norway and vikings. That is a lie.

Don Quixote: The Younger Years

The "Black Belt" and "Pro Wrestling" ones are just so inept, they HAVE to be on purpose. I mean, boring text? Boring grid background? And hiring the kind of illustrator that makes stranger safety coloring books to scribble something for the cover? They have to be purposely just jacking with us...They've just gotta be....
-
(http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/14755/1046650-front_cover_large.jpg)
Made worse by the fact that the cover has absolutely nothing to do with the game.
-
Nothing sells more than chicks in black tank top shooting stuff around.
-
What's the actual game about then?
-
Just watch. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d_AzixC-3w) The game box art is used for the title screen. The transition from that to the actual game is extremely jarring. Just watch.
-
...what? I at least expected something military or the like. Not... this. Looks quite like Touhou, though. Well, from the 5 seconds I watched at least.

Wow, way to not hire a graphic designer. Or the saddest part is, that they probably did.
-
Someone had to put the 2 there.
-
They could've made that "2" a bit bigger. It's kind of important that it's noticeable in this case.
I like how the first one has the "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" but the sequel just has the "Official Nintendo Seal." Guess they decided to quit BS'ing us.

I'd just like to point out that it's a Virtual Boy, not Virtua.
Indeed. But I don't care to Photoshop up someone else's error, so it's posted "as-is".
-
I wonder if those people got paid for doing that?
-
I'd think that they just got some guy who does something else from the development team to do this nonsense. They don't get payed extra, they just get payed.

Oh hey, I wasn't blaming you, just pointing out. But you could've added an "L" just like the "2" added to that chicken game and pretend it to be something new.

Exactly what I meant. I'm guessing it took them about ten seconds to make that cover.
