Howdy folks, and welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl.
Before we get cracking with this week’s battle, let’s take a look at how we got on last time, hm? Well, it was Batman: Vengeance’s turn to kick up a storm, with the European and North American variants of the GBA game going head-to-head in a duel for the ages. It was remarkably close, too, but ultimately the North American version managed to take home the trophy with 52% of the vote.
So let’s not waste any more time… FIGHT!
Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.

Okay, so this one is really quite lovely, featuring the protagonist and his lovable canine companion trotting across the box with the farm itself in the background. The art style is excellent, though we’re a bit puzzled by the sudden change in color on the far right. We get that it’s so those logos and whatnot stand out more, but why give the artwork a sudden reddish filter? Weird.

In keeping with the trends at the time, the Japanese box art for Harvest Moon 64 is a lot more abstract, once again featuring the protagonist and his dog, but this time encased in a lovely little portrait composition. The space surrounding the image is made to look like grass, and it’s really quite well done. The art style itself, meanwhile, is reminiscent of classic claymation and is actually quite similar to the way that the game itself looks.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
