One thing we prefer about JapanвЂ™s cover is that a lot of the cast get a bit more space rather than just being popped in cute little icons at the sides. Melee was called DairantЕЌ Smash Brothers DX in Japan, and on this cover, it looks like Mario and co. Japan Image: NintendoД«ut come on, you canвЂ™t deny this isnвЂ™t very cool, either. This was a signal that Smash would be getting a bit more real, as much as we love the cartoony box art of the N64 game. Many of the gameвЂ™s characters (new and old) are in little boxes on the left and right of the cover.

LinkвЂ™s Master Sword is plunging into BowserвЂ™s flame. Mario, Link, Bowser, and Pikachu are all getting ready to battle. North America & EuropeДЄh, yes, this is the box art of many peopleвЂ™s childhood, their teenage years, etc. LetвЂ™s make it a Brawl to remember!Д«e sure to cast your votes in the poll below but first, letвЂ™s check out the box art designs themselves. Both are pretty iconic in different ways, but we want to hear what you think. Yes, we said it.ДЇor this 100th round, weвЂ™ll be pitting the Japanese box art against the America & European. ItвЂ™s still Played competitively today, and it also helped cement the GameCube controllerвЂ™s status as one of the very best. While the N64 game rang in the series, Melee is easily the game that defined it and made it the smash hit it is today. is easily one of NintendoвЂ™s most iconic video games. WeвЂ™ve already done the original 64 game, and Melee N celebrated its 20th anniversary in Europe and Oceania in May, so this is perfect. So what could be a worthy battle to commemorate our 100th edition of Box Art Brawl? It has to be Super Smash Bros. And this time, Europe & JapanвЂ™s box art came out on top with a pretty healthy 76% of the vote! Both are pretty electrifying, but you made your voices heard here. This is a pretty momentous occasion for us at Nintendo Life and all of you Box Art Brawl enthusiasts, so thank you for participating over the years! We have a big one to kick off the celebrations, but first, we need to look back at last week.ДЇor the past two weeks, weвЂ™ve been looking at the box art for the Mario Strikers series, and last week it was the turn of 2007вЂ™s Mario Strikers Charged to take to the pitch. When you think about the playstyle of the Switch it would be great if I could play all classic games on it.Hello, and welcome to the 100th edition of Box Art Brawl!! We have a version of Mario 64 on the DS, and as you mentioned there are Zelda ports on the 3DS, but rather than focus on trying to remake them, I would rather if we were to think about porting them, focus on more recent titles, but using the unique gameplay elements of the Switch. So, I think our challenge is going to be trying to bring awareness to that side of Mario moving forward.ДЇinally, Miyamoto was asked about remaking Super Mario 64 (again) and he expressed interest in ports of classic games, possibly alluding to the Virtual Console. All theyвЂ™ve seen is stuff from 3D Mario or 3D Mario World. But at the same time, if you ask some elementary school kids, a lot of them donвЂ™t recognize or donвЂ™t know the Mario from Mr. I think thereвЂ™s many different ways we could do it. Miyamoto was then asked if a Rayman Legends-like Mario game could ever exist hereвЂ™s what he said: вЂ¦ I do believe that Mr KotabeвЂ™s art has become kind of a standard within Nintendo, but we definitely want to continue to see if we can evolve that as time goes by. We did a collaboration recently with Uniqlo where it was a contest for people to send in drawings, and like that we want to continue create and evolve new art styles. Once they get more work done, I think more and more of that will be reflected into games. And of course the development team for any Mario game may want to use KotabeвЂ™s art, but there is also a character-development team thatвЂ™s really working hard to create new styles and new work. When you look at Mickey Mouse there is the classic Mickey Mouse, and then there is the modern Mickey Mouse and the classic one has a lot of flavor to it and the modern Mickey Mouse looks really great, but it is losing a little bit of the flavor, and thatвЂ™s something we discuss to make sure we keep that intact as weвЂ™re creating characters. Game Informer interview Miyamoto back at E3 and only just now published a portion of the interview where the developer discusses the 1980вЂ™s era art for Mario. It seems like Nintendo is done with the divisive вЂњNewвЂќ sub-series, so whatвЂ™s next for the plumberвЂ™s sidescrolling escapades. The 2D Mario games, on the other hand, are a bit of a mystery. With Super Mario Odyssey due to come out in just a matter of hours, fans are quite eager to see what NintendoвЂ™s modern interpretation of the old 3D Mario formula will look like.
