There was another topic a few weeks back that showed this cover art too -- but, it wasn't presented in the best of tones. Myself, after not seeing it for a while and then seeing it again -- well, I still can't bring myself to like it. If it's brought to the US, I wonder if they will change it for the US market... (one of the few times I'm actually wanting a US company to change the cover art).
(And then, the regular question: Why Playmore?! Why this art?)
why is playmore f**king SNK franchises with a 12 foot splinter laden bamboo pole?

Uhh... you don't think that statement is a bit extreme, given the heavy praise that's been given to KOF 2002, and given that it's because of Playmore that we'll see more home ports of Neo Geo titles? I agree the PS2 KOF 2000 cover art is pretty bad -- and tangentially, I acknowledge that the public didn't find Metal Slug 4 or KOF 2001 to be stellar -- but I wouldn't go so far as to say Playmore is screwing SNK's franchises over...

Heh I was just about to say what you just said, but yes, Playmore aren't all bad.

Once again I'm the odd man out when I think that art is actually good.

True, it's not as bad as all that and is certainly better than some of the art that has graced the covers of SNK conversions in the past. That pink-hued cover on KoF97 for the Saturn still sticks in my mind as a real low point in box art.

Yeah, there was another topic about the picture cause it was on the Playmore site, and I thought it looked good then and still think it does.
