Hello everyone; welcome to another edition of ‘Box Art Brawl’!
It’s already been a week and you’re feeling a bit insane..? Where is the time going!?
Last week we took a look at Mega Man X, one of the greatest SNES productions of all time.Europe and North America team up to challenge Japan However Won the throne with 53% of the votes. Both designs are pretty awesome, so it’s no surprise that you guys were a little torn by this one.
This week, in honor of the recent announcement of Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, we take a look at the original GameCube, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, released in 2003 (2004 for Western audiences) . For many people (including this writer!), Wonderful Life was the gateway to the world of Harvest Moon. Since then, the thoughts of many years of fans.
In this week’s Box Art Brawl, Europe and North America team up once again due to the striking similarities in the region’s box art designs. It’s going to be a close race again this week, but as always the winners will be decided by all of you wonderful people.
Vote in the poll below. First, let’s check out the box art design itself.
North America/Europe
A Wonderful Life’s North American and European designs are probably the best known. The designs of all the regions are very similar in composition — the game’s protagonist stands triumphantly in the center, surrounded by a group of animals and fellow villagers — but the Western design stands out. is that the full background is included (similar, but not). Same as his two examples above), supposedly set somewhere in forget-me-not valley.
A very peaceful work of art. It definitely shows the kind of experience you can get with A Wonderful Life.
Japan
The Japanese design for A Wonderful Life is similar in composition, but the main characters and animals are surrounded by large garlands of flowers and vegetables. Shows what kind of things you plant in your farm life. Despite the lack of background, I must admit that I actually prefer the more vibrant and stylized approach taken to the protagonists and animals here. How nice! This is going to be tough, I’m sure…
Bonus
Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life was launched in 2005 and introduced exactly the same gameplay and structure as the original release. difference? You’re playing as a girl instead of a boy, and your romantic interests are gender-swapped. did you need it? Hmm, maybe not, but regardless, it might have introduced a few more people to the series.
The box art itself is kind of a combination of previous designs from Wonderful Life. I chose to include the background. This is an overall better approach. It’s like having the best of both worlds!
