In Case You Haven't Been Paying Attention 2009-01-30

Sometimes, people go on and on about bad boardgame box art.

Obviously, they've never been exposed to the MONSTROSITY that is the original Mega Man NES box art.

I mean, seriously...can you imagine the meeting that spawned this?

"Yes, we want the guy on the cover to look absolutely NOTHING like the character in the game.  This is critical.  Arm him with a pistol or something, screw that Arm Cannon stuff, we got to keep it real, yo.  Also, it would be great if he struck some sort of constipated pose.  Like he's going to pitch a loaf, and soon.  To strike home the DANGER he's in.

Also, our market research indicates that gamers really don't like perspective in their art, so be sure that his legs look all distended and bloated and whatnot.  ALRIGHT!  BOOK THAT SHIT!"



YIKES.

Uh...anyway, news inside.
