Worst Game Cover Art?


FullAuto

Recommended Posts

Well, when the cricket is wearing a hat and clothes and has human looking fingers and eyes, it's hard to take it seriously. :)

 

Any more bad Wii cover art? MobyGames has a list, but not many pics from what I see. Since Wii is a kid-ified platform (meaning a lot of the titles are intended for kids), there has to be tons of stupid cover art available. ;)

Compare this to the original cover

I question their decision to change her clothes to that eye-blindingly horrible shade of purple. Why not white for a doctor's overcoat, or green for scrubs?

 

The only other person who wears that much purple goes by the name of Joker. First name, The.

Gamesradar just recently made their picks for the worst box art of 2009. Pet Vet didn't make it to the list but here's something else:

The overall crappy cut-n-paste look and the garish purple clothing makes me suspect this was made by the same person who did that Pet Vet cover. Also, there's something deeply disturbing about that little girl's face:

Truly horrifying proving my point yet again that the Wii is the king of terrible cover art. Gross. (Coincidence that Wii is pronounced like "wee"). ;)

 

I sometimes wonder if Nintendo hires kids out of grade school to create cover art for their games. The obvious lack of skill in using Photoshop throws up all sorts of red flags. :D

Possible I guess. So these games are just being whacked out assembly line style and are hoping to exploit the popularity of the Wii?

 

Yup, there's lots of stuff being ported to it, because it's the biggest current console user base (that isn't a handheld). It means some games get a well-deserved second chance to be seen (Broken Sword, for instance), and some horrors see the light of day.
