Back when that other forum was a thing, i had always wanted to make a forum thread questioning why so many Sports games have terrible covers.
Unfortunately my account never got approved before the place imploded, but now i can move my terrible thread idea here.
Introducing: The worst sports game covers ever. Featuring
Grown man upset that mom didn't get ice cream.
Extreme DARTS!!!!
Rules of Nature
Man relentlessly chased by a giant, omnious floating head in hell.
The Zero Dollar Avengers, featuring Tina the Threat Master, Jacob the Disco King, & Robert, who has no clue how the fuck he got here.
And the father of the grown man featured on the NBA live 2004 cover.

I always have to take a second to figure out whether its the fake meme one or the real thing.
Thankfully the gameplay was so good, U.S. Mega Man fans forgot how bad the first three game covers were.
Still cracks me up
Is it bad that I expected this image to be an optical illusion and have the case zooming in infinitely???
Still cracks me up
I seriously thought this was an error the first time I saw it on Amazon LOL
On a more serious note I really don't like the box art for The Phantom Pain. IMO if you have Shinkawa doing art for your game whatever he did should be the box art.
You're unfortunately right. Thought it would grow on me, never did.
The guy on the left looks like he could fit on someone's deviantArt page.
Fuck beaten lmao
You missed this gem:
To this day, I'm trying to figure out what in the world "IS PARTY NOW" is supposed to mean.
Someone should photoshop a smaller copy of this picture and place it in Soma's open hand.Still cracks me up
Suikoden 1 is a classic, with 1.5 characters from the actual game identifiable
River City Ransom GBA gave us this mess

Easily this
Eh looks like generic b movie fodder which Dino Crisis should be. Love how they jumped to space 3rd entry in, most horror franchises wait a bit for that.
Wish we get a sequel in it's vain, could of properly blasted dino crisis into Capcom's best franchise list

This box art is hilarious, don't know why they just didn't use the other box art that was used in other countries.
This boxart actively makes the game less scary, looking at that goofy fucking face.
This man cannot comprehend the otherworldly energies clashing within him. Opposites, but equal. Blue and red. His mind shatters as he begins to see forever.
You are biased against Dino crisisEasily this
That could pass for a generic cover from the brown era shooters like Quantum Theory
Feel like I'm having a stroke looking at this.Still cracks me up
Final Zone 2 for me on the PC Engine CD, a fun Ikari Warriors style top down shooter.
This is the original japanese version:
And this is what they decided it would be more appropriate for american shores:
...
Just WHY?

I was shocked to find out about the American cover of Suikoden, absolutely terrible:
We got this in the PAL region, similar to the Japanese one:
