What's the best boxart of all time?

For sure. Almost all of the older Lucas Arts boxarts are top tier stuff, and this one is a standout even among these.
This is the winner right here.The original version is even better as the game was released before the added the bottom part to all the box art:
The funny thing about this cover is how it fits with Prime 2 better than Prime 3.Honestly, it's from a game I don't even really like.
I just really like the red vs blue color contrast, which also goes with the Samus vs. Dark Samus theme, and the space setting with the planet/stars below them.
The idea for the Japanese box art for Metroid Other M is way too good to have been used on that game.

the original cover is iconic but i like this version more for some reason
from what's been posted so far, my favorites are JP/PAL Ico and NA/JP BotW.

And why is it Secret of Mana?
Seriously I've barley played this game and this is still one of the most gorgeous boxarts I've ever seen.
The japanese box art is even better!

Yeah, looking back it's kind of cringey how much nineties garbage is all over the US SNES boxarts. I'm glad we've left that era behind (insert joke about overwrought "Optimized for Xbox Series X" game packaging here).
I can't really think of a favorite so much as just box arts I like, so I'll just post those.
I hope steelbooks count

Fukken iconic
yeah I think I agree with this. Usually the most simple is the best and the yellow just works so well.
It bothers me to no end that the logo isn't perspective correct. It's great otherwise, but that ruins it for me.
You are immediately drawn to the colossus, the main focus of the game. Then you spot the beam of light shining down to show the nameless protagonist.

Hell yes. That's my absolute favorite.
Another favorite:
It's so intimidating. Like these people just can't wait to beat the shit out of you.
(That's Real Bout Fatal Fury if anyone wanted to know, couldn't find a decent sized version with the logo on it)
Lol I missed that it got psoted.
Shout out to that Super Famicom Prince of Persia box art too
That's true, tbh. I prefer 2 also so I wish they used it for that
This is still the best Metal Gear box art:
I would also like to submit the Strider 2 Japanese release:
I think this is the rare case when the Western release wins:
