And also it would be great if you guys displayed these cover arts in your post!!

So far I think the one Plisken has in his signature is cool. I think it's for KOF '99, but I don't know which version it is.

Another cover art I've seen that was SWEET was the Japanese version of Final Fight for the GBA!

Honestly, the humor of this insert makes it one of the best. I really get a kick out of that.

Agree, follow by KOF 98.
Ditto. Real Bout, Real Bout Special, Rage Of The Dragons, Metal Slug 3, and Last Blade are all also worthy candidates. Oddly enough, four out of five of the games I had mentioned had covers drawn by Shinkirou. (Come back, Shinkirou! We miss you already!)

My most favorite would have to be SS3, but true the years it changed to WW7

Real Bout's cover simply owns. :)

MS2 is badass as well.

That was stylish.

Yeah, the RotD cover does look extremely nice with the vibrant colors and the characters occupying the entire space - best cover to have included all the characters in the game.

MotW is a classic with the yellow backdrop and Rock and the fantastic logo in the middle.

I've never seen the FF3 cover, and I'd have to say that it does look sweet.

I was always fond of RB 2 cause it suspensefully depicts what the title says ("the newcomers"). Kinda draws the first time player in, and curious of who that person is that's steppin on Terry's hat (besides being a dead man :) ) This is an example of the Japanese cover being the superior, because in the English version, you can't even see the hat.

KoF 97 and 98 has tremendous artwork, and the artist (I forgot his name) is a genius. I think he also did the covers of RB, LB1, and the Final Fight GBA.
