WHAT!? This is actually the official name of the game?!

 

[Shiggy]

Are any of these official?

 

[Memles]

Never going to happen, but these games may actually be worthwhile. It's games like EA's sports line-up that aren't worth $50 price tags. They don't even work from scratch, yet they shit out full priced updates once a year. Cut the Mario games some slack and if you need to, buy it used.

I concur on the EA Sports' lineup, but at the same time I worry that there won't be much meat to either title. I have Sega Soccer Slam already, and it at least had the Quest Mode for single-player gaming. As it stands right now, SMStrikers lacks that component for me. I really hope that it comes together well, to be honest with you, but at the same time I am entirely unconvinced that it will be worth it's price tag. Mario Baseball just seems like it could be a fun little diversion...I think that, after playing a whole lot of MVP lately, a lack of stats and the like will make it kind of lame...especially since I'd probably turn off the power moves ala MPT.

Oh...and just because Nintendo make mock-up box art for the titles doesn't mean they're final, just official. I'x expect Strikers, especially to get a change, even if that change is simply the busying up of the box a bit. Although it's relatively starkness outside of an image of Mario reeks of the other SMS cover.

What AC2, New SMB comes out in June?

[Soul4ger]

Master of Spirits 2? More pseudo-Castlevania kinda decentness?

 

[DarkCloud]

!!!

Well that's close enough to a confirmation for me. Purchased in full.

No. Boxarts released in June, not boxarts for games released in june. confusing, yes.

!!!

Well that's close enough to a confirmation for me. Purchased in full.

I really want to see screens of this -- I want to see what next-gen cel-shading looks like. Though it may not be that impressive, if the laughable screens of American Wasteland for 360 are any judge...

 

[DarkCloud]

Treyarch =! Neversoft...keep the dream alive.


Would be funny if the 360 version was the only non celshaded version (that wasn't on a handheld).

 

[Wario64]

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Awesome (If it wasn't for the ugly Xbox strip, though not much can be done about that)

PC version get.

They moved the EA Games logo and changed the color to reflect the pure evil that run through it.

 

[Matlock]

wtf, that looks like the Burnout 3 cover! :lol

 

[Shard]

I doubt that is a coincedence.

 

[Wario64]

 

[TheDiave]

It still sorta hurts my soul that Nintendo isn't just combining all three versions of Nintendogs for the US release.

 

[Fularu]

you gotta be kidding me...

 

[milanbaros]

Mario sure does get around.

Are those top 5/6 games all published by Nintendo and being released this year? There is LoZ as well. Nintendo should make a tidy some from each and every one of those games.

 

[Wario64]

 

[acklame]

that's a nice DJ box art...anyone played the game recently? if so, how is it?

 

[Fuzzy]

These were posted today on Nintendo's press site.

 

[Wario64]

i like the new mario baseball box

and wtf, ssbm bundle..that game is old shit, good but old

 

[fennec fox]

Balk!

 

[Scott]

 

[Azure Dream]

Whoa. That's going to sell much better than I expected, based purely on that boxart alone. Whoo hoo, the path to Shantae GBA is paved!

 

[Mr_Furious]

 

[Wario64]

holy crap shadow of the colossus actually doesnt look shitty

 

[Escape Goat]

I like how Luigi is smelling his finger :lol

[StRaNgE]

My wallet is a very sad wallet after seeing all of those covers side by side.

yes, strangley as i looked at this thread i had this horrible pain from my side only to realize it was my wallet screaming out in pain!

 

[StRaNgE]

Hold on a sec, did Luigi just GET SOME FROM PEACH??

Hmm wonder where that finger's been?? SNiiiiFFF... Smells like peaches!!!

 

[Suikoguy]

you gotta be kidding me...

Why are you surprised, its Ubisoft, its on xbox, its gotta look like crap by rule.

 

[Andy787]

wtf, that looks like the Burnout 3 cover! :lol

They just changed the theme and flipped it around, hah.

Hmm, which is the real one, this or the EB one? I think this looks a lot better, but they both look nice. Hope this turns out good.

This is a purchase.

 

[u_neek]

Radiata Stories is pretty hot!

 

[Aurora]

They just don't give up do they?

 

[Reilly]

I wish they didn't use a screenshot for the SotC box (assuming it's real).

The European boxart looks much better!

 

[Scott]

They just don't give up do they?

Um, why should they?

 

[Leatherface]

Anyone know if that Flipnic game will be coming to any other systems besides PS2?

*hopes*

 

[Chittagong]

The European boxart looks much better!

No. It's actually one of the most horrible, no-effort-at-all photoshops I've seen come out from NOE. A lazily composited character and a flat blue background with Render > Clounds and an old Kai's Power Tools "TV Scanlines" filter applied. So. Horrible.

 

[Aurora]

Um, why should they?

Game sucks. But makes a lot of money. What can you do.

 

[Solid]

hawt!

 

[aku:jiki]

Ain't no way. Sony-developed.

 

[u_neek]

 

[M3wThr33]

Square on 360! End of Sony!

Come to think of it. Putting FFXI on anything else only preserves sales of the game for longer, meaning it gives the PS2 one longer legs.

 

[djtiesto]

Not bad, but they should've just stuck with the Japanese boxart.
