1. Dragon Warrior III GBC
2. Final Fight One (JP)

Dragon Warrior III's box art is awesome. It captures the essence of the game's storyline, and drawings are done by the man behind DBZ and Chrono Trigger - Akira T. (Don't remember last name). Too bad this game isn't out yet. I can't wait. Saw the box for pre-order @ gamestop this weekend.

Final Fight One's is great also. Too bad Capcom will probably ditch it for US.

I like the Project Justice Box and the US Super Dodgeball box is cool as well. The new Point Blank 3 box also makes me laugh.

Mars Matrix. Same as the Japanses cover, which is very cool.

I like the cover for Persona 2 for the PSX. It's not anything thrilling, I just like the style of the artwork. I don't know who the artist is but they do a number of Altus games (Maken X, Kartia). Good stuff.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. It's as if Konami is going back to their old school hand-painted style covers. Holy shit those covers were amazing. The full original Castlevania 1 print (it's about twice as wide as the one on the NES box cover) is my wallpaper! <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Circle of the Moon(JP)
Final Fight One(JP)

I think both of these have some great box art. I don't know why though the circle of the moon box art is shortened for the US release though. If you have EGM or Gamepro look where it shows the box of CV:CM it only shows the main character.

Maybe Konami doesn't want to scare "younger audience" away .......

I'm afraid about Final Fight One.....Capcom, please don't destroy the beautiful cover art. You have screwed up several in the past (SNES Street Fighter II, Turbo, Super Ghouls and Ghosts, Final Fight and a lot more)......

I'm gonna say Final Fight One as well.... just sheer brilliance. Bet you don't see it on the US or UK releases though.
