Well I know a few weeks ago there was a topic about the CvS2 Packinging and how the US got a much crappier version than the Eurpean and the Japanese versions.

Well now the Japanese packaging for the PS2 version of MvC2 is shown, I kinda wonder what the US version will be the same thing or maybe they'll just lazily use the US DC packaging (not that that's too awfully bad) but I sorta like this Japanese package better.

I don't understand, do Amercian companies think IMPROVE box art?

A few things I can understand, like if they wanted it to be more marketable, or if they wanted a diffrent cover to reduce possible confusion over foriegn versions (I guess?)

Anyway, I dig the japanese box. The American release should use that, unless they can "improve" it.

That box art is pretty tight! I hope it's like that here in the US.

Yes,I started that topic. I was in London last month as I was browsing the PS2 aisle inside HMV games,in the London Trocadero,then all of a sudden,I saw CvS2,and it had the exact same box art and back side as the Japanese version. I was shocked,because I figured that England and the rest of Europe would've gotten the same crappy packaging that the US got.
