Who's the artist for Genesis/Mega Drive Fatal Fury box art?

[LoneSage]

Always thought this was ballin'. I like how they made Geese look like a demon.

edit: what are those two things near Joe's right hand, exhaust holes, sewer pipes, what?

 

[BlackaneseNiNjA]

I LOVE the art done for the megadrive fatal fury titles and the fatal fury special on gamegear. Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is best known for his evangelion art these days.

 

[LoneSage]

Holy shit, yeah I can see it now with Terry's face. good lookout for the cookout BNJ.

Also BNJ if you have any more Fatal Fury Gnesisis art you want to post please do so

Since there appears to be the sail from a ship of some sort in the background, I've always assumed the background was the Dream Amusement Park:



Maybe those are ship canons?

 

[LoneSage]

hey BNL I'm Drunk and can't see it in the scrreeenshot can you circle/edit where they are thx

 

[BlackaneseNiNjA]

No problem at all, LS. Here ya go.

Even though Y.S.'s art was used for the megadrive versions, the pirate ship (though with different text) is present in both the neo geo and megadrive versions of the Dream Amusement Park stage:





I always figured the background of the cover art on the megadrive version was inspired from the amusement park stage due to the presence of the boat sail in the background near Joe:



Let me know what you think.

Let me know what you think.

That alcoholic is prolly passed out. He won't remember this in the morning.

 

[Electric Grave]

They're sewer pipes. If you notice there's part of the building in front of the ship and below it the sewer pipes lay...

Awesome artist, look at lonesage trying to talk about video games for a change, lol.

Seriously, I thought this was a setup after reading the subject, I expected the post to contain "because he's a fagit lol tricked you stupid manchildren."

 

[Liquid Snake]

Yoshiyuki Sadamoto is the one who did Fatal Fury 1 & 2 cover arts on Mega Drive

 

[Electric Grave]

I guess you didn't read post #2, typical...

I forgot how awesome that old artwork was. Fatal Fury 2 on Genesis used to get rented all the time between me and my friends. Its much better than the SNES Fatal Fury 2 artwork.

 

[ChuChu Flamingo]

Those covers are amazing.

Good eye my man, cheers

The two holes are the exit from the trap doors in Geese's office lol.

Hey look, a good thread! Dat Ninja did it again.

I snatched up a minty Genesis copy of Fatal Fury mainly for the cover art. I had been trying to avoid weaker versions of arcade games, if I own the best version (such as owning the Neo original, or say Outrun on Saturn vs Outrun on Genesis). The artwork takes up the entire cover/case, and looks fantastic. So when I saw it on ebay for a decent price ($14 or so), I snatched it up.

I rented this version of Fatal Fury back in the day from Blockbuster

This is probably the reason I own FFs on genny. Although I do like FF2 on genny, the art is where its at.

 

[Montatez]

Good stuff BNJ! That artwork... Genesis days.

 

[klee123]

Much better than the AES art lol.

 

[Tron]

Much better than the AES art lol.

Sure is i've all ways prefer the cover art for the genesis versions as well.

 

[oliverclaude]

Gee whiz... this NiNjA knows his Sadamoto. Great images!

 

[BlackaneseNiNjA]

Thanks guys. Sorry for the thread bump; I was cleaning up attachments on my account and realized that I never posted the source for the full uncensored versions of Yoshiyuki Sadamoto’s Fatal Fury cover for those interested:
