This art feels like whoever was designing the box accidentally put the back art on the front, then said fuck it and slapped the logo wherever it would fit
It’s funny you say that because the actual Japan back art is really cool compared to the North American version, which kinda sucks.
Can i add how Luigi on the box art looks like he is looking directly at the logo with an awkward vibe of "geez have a good day sir" and just wants to end any contact with the logo who represents the entire game itself by walking away just like a person on a game store?
That's what i'd call a pure marketing L
It makes the game look like it’s going to have a isometric camera instead of 3D
The Japanese Super Mario 64 DS box art looks like it should be used as the front cover of the manual instead.
i think it actually is in the australian version
This channel will blow up, I can already tell:
- Charismatic voiceover:✅
- Crazy good editing: ✅
- Good sense of humor: ✅
I expect big thing from this guy, take my sub sir.
I hope I don't blow up! That sounds painful :0 Haha but for reals thanks for the kind words and sub. All I'm doing is trying to improve my content one vid at a time while talking about the stuff I enjoy, so thanks for your support!
@@MattTrashBoat blow up
So true
Graphic design is my passion
grafix
Mega man box art might challenge this
Phantasy Star II as well (which I proudly own)... There are quite a few out there actually. (Breath Of Fire's is pretty terrible as well, but at least it has a lot going on on it and looks animated instead of damn realistic like PSII's.)
bro gave a story to box art
I think the Japanese one was meant to give away a sense of chilling and playing serenely with your friends, which was the game's most significant selling point.
The American one, instead, focuses on the game's competitive aspect, which was the other big selling point of the title.
None of them is objectively wrong. I should also add there's no such thing as objective truth, as, from the day some bunch of matter gained consciousness, we as a species are condemned to temporarily witness the intrinsic chaos of existence, like a wild play staged by a mad, blind god.
"Chilling and playing with your friends"
Except that the only multiplayer mode is the battle mode (the co op one was removed)
Yeah but its too EMPTY, ADD SOME HILLS OR SOMETHING! Or hell, embrace that whole aspect and make the 4 more close together, or hell, make the scenery all vast to embrace that nostalgia. I dunno, it's just missed potential to me
I thought I was the only one who noticed the emptiness of this art lmao; props for breaking it down in as much depth as you did
The Japanese cover art looks like someone asked an AI art to make something out of "Super Mario 64 DS".
Oh my goodness that’s actually spot on loool
@@MattTrashBoat The Japanese Box art is also the Korean box art.
It does! Especially the weird looking mushroom and koopa shell. And luigi looking contorted too.
I never knew what the Japanese cover even looked like, this was most definitely terrible enough to warrant a full video on. Very entertaining, well done
I'm glad the youtube algorithm brought here! With the production quality of your videos I'm sure you will have no problem growing your channel. You're doing a great job and keep up the great work!
I love this box art. I interned at a videogame publisher in the UK when I was a teenager. They told me that western box art always highlighted an individualist, competitive mindset and Japanese boxart highlighted a collectivist, community-minded mindset. Similarly, studying the history of Japanese art shows that scenes are often depicted from a sort of 2.5D, “floating world” perspective, while western painters were the first to master 3D, 2-point perspective drawing. The difference between these boxarts is a perfect illustration between these competing philosophies. I love the Japanese Mario 64 DS boxart… it’s beautifully arranged, like a zen rock garden. That’s what Miyamoto once said his games were, after alll… little gardens you can keep in a drawer.
Great insight, thank you for the comment :)
Keep up the amazing work, man! I hope you enjoy the holiday season :)
You too my friend 🎄
loving the lanky kong cameo
Nice Video! CZcamss algorithm brought me here, but it was worth it! Never saw this abomination of a Cover before.
I'm sorry I had to introduce it to you then haha
Awesome editing and a interesting topic. Instant sub!
I think the reason Luigi's ahead is because Mario stopped to grab a Wing Cap and is ready to take off. Luigi only notices Mario isn't running with him a little bit later, which is why he appears to be looking backwards.
the japanese mario ds box art logo looks like it's falling down, maybe cause of the birds eye view, maybe cause the logo itself is crooked and the text is all leaned back
This is a really good video! I was surprised that you didn’t have more subscribers, I hope that more people will start watching your videos
I had no idea the japanese box art was this... bad! Make a Wii video next :D
Wow, what a cover.
Almost looks like back of the box artwork if the logo was replaced with simple instructions.
great work!! top tier editing as always
This was fun to watch, good stuff 🥷
Holy moly, I need that RARE pillow! I didn't even know they make them.
It’s from the fangamer site. They have some quality stuff!
I like how you started the video immediatly without any sponors or asking to like and subscribe. I’m subscribed!
heavily underrated video tbh
Great video, can't wait to watch later.
Thanks, uh ZenkiBoi? Zenki like from dragon ball right?
@TrashBoat inc. no
It’s so bad, Wario have a thumbs down with his pinkie.
You can tell if someone is talented, if they can make a video about sm64ds boxart fun and interesting you're gonna blow up soon
bruh how is one of the best box arts really shit in japan
When I first saw the Japanese version a while back I legit couldn't believe my eyes. Literally had to do a double take lol
amazing content as always
HOW DO YOU HSVE UNDER 1000 SUBS WHAT THE HECK
What do you think of Street Fighter 6 box art?
I’ve seen a ton of ppl say it’s pretty awful, and for the most part I’d agree. The game’s title logo is straight buns though. Ditching the series staple look for a super boring font is always fun, right 🙄
I dunno the composition goes kinda hard
When I picked up a Korean copy of the game, it was pretty annoying that it had this box art... it's so bland. The iQue version has the US art, tho.
This is an amazing vid, yet there’s barely any views…
The algorithm fails again.
Nice
bruh there's no way you have only ~700 subs
The western box art is much nicer.
But on the other hand the Eruopean box art for Twilight Princess HD is way worse.
I like it.
i wish you got more attention
Thanks, but lemme put some attention on your profile pic. It’s pretty rad!
not even a minute in and i already subbed and liked (also agreed)
I love the eu/american one
No. Actually its still good. Even tho it would be better to put that in the back. I don't see any ugly thing. Otherwise, the other box art from other region is better in representation of the product. More close up = good. But it is still original and great. I personally love it.
Fair! I do agree that its verryyy unique. There's a lot of "bad" box art that is so forgettable, but with this I think it's been burned into my brain forever lol.
i wasn't gaslighting you. i was being my honest, truest, blindest self, but yeah sure. make a whole video i guess.
It’s okay to have the wrong opinions sometimes buddy 🤝
Algorithm comment
Nice :3
You’re charismatic, but its too much. Try letting more of your natural personality in, and less of the fake CZcamsrish side. You have a lot of potential, just don’t try so hard and let it flow a little. Other than that, nice content 😁👍
Thank you for the thoughts! Honestly, I often fear that I'm coming off as too boring/bland in my narration (super apparent in my old videos), so its hard to tell when too much is enough haha.
@@MattTrashBoat That’s a valid fear, especially with rising content creators such as yourself. Just remember, natural does not always equal boring!
You made a few too many jokes and tries a little too hard with them at the beginning.
Otherwise, pretty good video. Would Recommend.
bro i really thought this video had 9.5m views not 95. good job!!! underrated af
If it has 9 million views I’d poop my pants- aye, wait, holy crap it’s Peter griffin!?
@@MattTrashBoat Yes, I am the real Peter Griffin.
