The Best Neo Geo Cover Art

[Archdesigner03]

My vote goes to Samurai Shodown I. It's got one of the more iconic character in fighting game history with Haohmaru in a nice beach setting. Any body know who is the artist of the cover?

Many dislike the game itself, but I really dig the cover art...

I dig the svc chaos art. Also to add a reverse spin on this. I think the art of fighting 1 cover is the worst.

My vote is for Garou MotW, followed by Metal Slug 2.

i think magician lord is a cool cover, the carton version as you get the full image.

real bout fatal fury special and blazing star are nice also

Hands down either this or SSII

Hard to beat SS for all-time champ of iconic AES box art - Real Bout is up there, but my vote is for Ninja Combat.

I've always thought the original SS art is a little campy. 2 kills it.

Most iconic character in fighting game history? Not Ryu then?

I think both the head shot and the water shot are on the level. You can't think Neo and not have one of those images explode into your brain.

he said one of the more iconic, not most iconic, retard.

edit: OP you're retarded too for not knowing who Shinkiro is. how fucking old are you, 12

Either KOF '98 or Real Bout.

Though Mutation Nation is a personal fav as well.

I actually don't know who Shinkiro was until now. I didn't realize he drew all those cool snk and capcom character arts, thanks for sharing!
