UK box art revealed - NA gets shafted again

Let's compare, shall we?





Again, I find myself appalled with Nintendo's decision to make the NA box design boring, and plain, while Europe receives another bright, beautiful, and inviting version.

As if the brown Phantom Hourglass box wasn't bad enough, Nintendo has decided to make the NA Spirit Tracks box the one color less appealing than brown: gray. I don't know about you, but gray doesn't exactly evoke a rich and colorful experience in my eyes. The game doesn't take place during the Stone Age, Nintendo. :V

re: UK box art revealed - NA gets shafted again

As someone who lives in England my response is thus: haha.

Quite nice to see the DS Zelda games sporting some rather nice artwork on their box arts. I don't get the whole grey colour for the NA one though. Perhaps if it was meant to be a gritty mature Zelda game I'd understand, but for something so obviously intended to be bright and cheery you have to wonder what they were thinking.

They obviously ran out of colored ink, after spending months designing the European box art. =/

look at the background, perhaps the NA one is meant to be some old map. (for trains, yes. ).

The tower in the background of the European box is more interesting than the entire NA box.

As long as it isn't this game's Temple of the Ocean King... god I hated traversing through that temple.

What! Man, we should atleast get a bright cheery box if we preorder it. I mean, the game sounds really fun, and quite challenging, and I intend to get it. But, really? GREY!? I was upset at the brown for PH, BUT GREY!? I'm really dissapointed with Nintendo.
