gaming Worst video game box art ever

[Megas 27,726]

Pretty self explanitory. A thread dedicated to the absolute worst box art you can think of and explain why. I'll start with an obvious and legendary one

 

 

Aside from the fact that it looks beyond ugly, it resembles Megaman in no way whatsoever. It's even become a bit of a joke among Capcom and a few fans, that this incarnation of Megaman was included infamously in Street Fighter X Tekken

Need I say any more? It's a space shooter, but what does that old man with a banjo have to do with space? (Nothing)

This one:

 

 

It is terrible enough on its own but when compared to the other one, it is downright atrocious. The other one was lovely in its subtlety.

This... this is why I think babies aren't cute.

 

 

For the record I LOVE Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move, but this box just makes no sense whatsoever... Why is this kid taking up more of the box then the game itself? It has nothing to do with it! It just looks like a badly done photoshop, but what was the purpose? What were they thinking?!

So glad Capcom ultimately went with his bishonen styles instead.

surely you jest. This is a great cover considering the probable amount of information the artist was given.

 

 

THIS is unforgivable considering how gorgeous the original box art was.

[Manman20x6 359]

I don't know much about this game, except that it has a hilarious boxart.

Well this is nightmare fuel

[Chara 1,565]

Good game, bad box art.

This game is known as ju-on the grudge.

[Magic Note 2,748]

I thought Phalanx's box art was bad, but I think I've found something even worse.

 

 

Nothing like a bland box art with a foot kicking in the bottom left.

[Throwaway19573639385 764]

It can't get much more worse than this.

 

[Megas 27,726]

Gonna bring this topic back since there's still plenty of bad boxarts out there, like so:

 

 

One of the worst examples of a GotY edition box art, as well as review quotes plastered everywhere ...We get it's an amazing game >_<

 

 

Nothing like a picture of a gamebox...literally

 

 

This one needs no explanation

[Castle Bleck 19,376]

He looks like a blue-haired Jeff Goldblum.

 

Jeff: "THAT'S---that's chaos theory."

[SquipyCheetah 449]

 

Does this really need any kind of explanation?

[Megas 27,726]

Here's another pretty bad one

 

 

Don't know what Cheggers is, but the guy on the cover looks like Colin Mochrie if he as made of nightmare fuel

 

Does this really need any kind of explanation?

Thought that was Bill Clinton a second there

[GuyNamedEarl 1,332]

 

This one needs no explanation

There is no reason whatsoever for that box art to exist

PAC-MAN HAS A FRIGGIN BODY?!

[TopQuark 409]

Behold! The subject of your nightmares for the next year.

 

 

I give to you, Mr. Blobby for the "Amiga", apparantly a sort-of Commodore.

Super meat boy. It's just.. terrifying.. '~"
