Box Art Brawl – Duel: Metal Slug Advance (GBA)

North America / Europe

The western design feels proper old-school, doesn’t it? It’s beautiful. It shows the game’s protagonists, Walter Ryan and Tyra Elson, leaping over some stepping stones as they head into battle. It’s just such a lovely composition with so much to look at and appreciate. Not one bit of the space is wasted.

Japan

Japan’s box art is arguably a little more dynamic in its approach, and it certainly makes great use of the landscape space. The change in art style might not be to everybody’s taste, mind, and there’s a distinct lack of detail and personality compared to the western design. Who knows though, maybe we’re completely wrong on this!

Thank you for voting! We’ll see you next week for another edition of Box Art Brawl!
