Hello and welcome to another exciting edition of Box Art Brawl! Let's recap last week's results before we jump into the latest showdown. In the previous round, DK: King of Swing for the Game Boy Advance saw Europe emerge victorious with 50% of the votes, leaving North America with 30% and Japan with 20%. Congratulations, Europe!
Urban Champion: A Blast from the Past
This week, in celebration of the addition of seven new NES titles on Nintendo Switch Online, we're shining the spotlight on Urban Champion. Originally released in Japan in 1984 and later globally in 1986, this game marked Nintendo's first attempt at a fighting game. Despite receiving lukewarm reviews, it paved the way for its spiritual successor, Joy Mech Fight, in Japan.
Europe and Japan present similar box art designs, setting the stage for a classic showdown. While UK voters may be feeling fatigued from recent polls, we invite you to cast your vote and help determine the winner.
North America's Pixel Art Presentation
North America's box art showcases pixel art aesthetics, a style that may resonate with fans of retro visuals. While not groundbreaking, the cover art retains the charm of a classic 'black box' NES release, offering a familiar look for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Europe / Japan's Expressive Artwork
The shared design for Europe and Japan features a comical depiction of the titular Urban Champion, capturing a moment of victory with a touch of humor. The art style evokes a nostalgic charm reminiscent of classic comic strips, adding a unique flair to the overall design.
