The cover is okayI guess. Not nearly as cool as the Japanese packiging.

November 16th, seems about right, wish it was a little sooner though.

EDIT: When I think about it, the Disc art for CvS2 was pretty cool, I wonder what MvC2 will look like?

Capcom USA should save money and just stop trying to make their own cover... Seriously...

Ha, it almost looks like the MvC1 cover. Except with fewer people. Why are there only 4 characters when MvC2 used teams of 3? Ooh look they put Spidey and Hulk on the cover. Gee I wonder why? Couldn't possibly be because one has a hit movie and the other has a movie coming up, nope couldn't be.

Whoa call me stupid, but I never thought of that, it just didn't occur to me. Heh, but yeah, even the US MvC cover looked better than this. I liked the US Dreamcast cover as well. And I figured they'd re-use it too, just like how they reused the US CvS2 cover for CvS2:EO but with Spiderman and Hulk on the cover? Yep that makes it pretty obvious.

Wow the cover looks like no love was put into it. Capcom US probably just photoshop'd some artwork and bam. Crap Cover. Now I'll have to play more spidy scrubs. If it wasn't bad enough after the movie.

Better yet, hire me to do them. I could whip up something far better in just ten minutes.

Today's lesson:

Capcom US boxart = ass

MVS version in 2003. Are you ready?

The box is a mock up. Its a horrible copy and paste.

No no its not that, im saying its a fake box. The box looks weird specially the top where the playstation 2 part is and the marvel logo at the bottom.

I bet it is a mock up... and if it's not, I'd wager the blue portion will be replaced by some "fancy" photoshop effect (ie-the green behind the Psylocke and Guile on the DC version's cover)

I sort of like it, they could have used art from different games that don't even look good a la CvS1 and CvS Pro

If that's indeed the case, then that's some smart marketing. Certainly, we don't get any pretty box art -- but regardless of what the unfortunate minority of gameplayers here think, it ensures that Spiderman fans and Hulk fans (of which there are currently, or will be, many) snap up the game. Resulting in better sales. Resulting in more money to be able to do absorb the possible risks of doing small projects to appease us, the minority of hardcore gamers.

Again, definitely smart. If it does result in better sales, I'm definitely for it. Besides, aside from online play -- which US gamers never got anyway -- the game itself isn't modified. It's not like we're getting a censored Skies of Arcadia here -- this is just the box art! Sure, I like great box art as much as the next hardcore gaming person -- but yeah, just think about the possible indirect benefits that will happen.

Also -- besides, it's not like the MegaMan 4 cover, which was basically the same image as the Japanese/European versions but much uglier, and with zero marketing benefit... at least the MegaMan 1 box art, fugly as we now see that it is, looked cool to us really young players at the time.

NEXT STAGE IS 4
