Hated this boxart before and people now pointing out the bow thing make this even worse. Ugh.

Probably the worst Nintendo boxart in the WiiU and Switch gens.

I thought that bow curve is already been explained to dead by now. But oh well here we go again.

It's hideous, the ugliest cover I remember for a Nintendo game. It hurts more when you see the special edition art.

I'd gladly take a reversible cover, even if it were just with the Fire Emblem logo on a blank background.

Why did the middle guy have to hang from the rafter? But, most of time I only see the spine of the box so I'm not that bothered.

Let's predict: How many animals will be upside down on the cover of Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

I will boldly predict zero, but I'm looking forward for the official reveal to make me laugh.

I dunno how the artist could think that hanging him upside down was fine,a serious case of creative block if you can't come up with anything better than that.

It's not that bad, if you want to see an atrocious cover art check out Gears 5.

This thread reminded me though that FE is coming, aww yes, my first FE game since good ol' Gamecube ones.

It's terrible considering how great the last few were but eh, it won't make the game worse so at the end of the day w.e

Fire Emblem doesn't exactly have a history of amazing cover art, so this one isn't really anything different IMO.

Its awful, looks like of those loli games with latin shit on the title that people play "for the strategy".

Im still buying tho, and Astral Chain with its doujinshi-looking cover.

I'm starting to think Nintendo and publishers all have this "thing" with upside down characters. Maybe it's to save space on the front cover?

The boxart for this game is horrible, specially after the amazing FE Awakening one. Is it the same artist?

I was really hoping at some point we would get a boxart revision after they unveiled it earlier this year. As it is now I still think it is one of the worst Nintendo boxarts I can think of and as a physical gamer I am not looking to having it on my shelf.

Was there ever a petition or anything? I know it is kind of a trivial issue, but come on. Think how the Switch Icon will look Neiteio!

Edit: Mods please feel free to fix the "is is" in my title.

Have you contacted Nintendo about your concerns?
