I absolutely love the cohesive NES box art designs from Konami. Recently made a little personal art project based off a favorite:
12" x 18" on brushed metal, the shine looks so good on the eyes and teeth!
Well, not completely. They still make some stuff like the new Bomberman games, Contra Rogue Corps and that Momotaro game that became a huge hit in Japan. This year's PES was just an update to PES 2020 iirc tho.
Damn, might be an unpopular opinion but something about this cover art always stood out to me and really drew me in for some reason!

This being the only game in Konami's Best lineup only makes it funnier. What were they thinking.
Tom Dubois was the guy who created many of those wonderful Konami covers.
Even their sports games had sass.
PES3 had the sheer audacity to put the referee on the cover. The fucking referee!! Has that ever happened before or since?

I played this game, but don't remember this amazing box art. It seems some Iranian video game sellers changed this box art with a player for better sales! lolEven their sports games had sass.

My earliest memory of video games is the cartridge of The Legend of the Mystical Ninja.
Drastically different art style aside, it shows you exactly what to expect from the game, even though you wouldn't believe it until you saw it in-game.

I thought that at first, but it seems the game had only one box art!That might have been a regional thing? I know for PES 6 the European(UK?) version had John Terry and Adriano on the cover, but the Australian version had the photo of John Aloisi after he'd just scored the penalty against Uruguay to get us to the 2006 World Cup. So good.

I agree.Was just confused.RE 4's cover is one of my favorite covers of all time.
Not really. Tom Dubois only did some, he did not do the majority.Did we ever find out who painted all Konami's 8 and 16-bit box arts?
Edit: Tom Dubois! You could probably call him the third pillar along with Ayumi Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa.
The 16-bit ones are some of the few cases where the US art is superior to the Japanese art.
