Box Art Brawl – Duel: Double Dragon (NES)
Be sure to cast your vote in the poll below; But first, let’s take a look at the box art designs.
Europe/North America
Is anyone else getting some serious Arnie and Carl Weathers carnivores vibe from the front and center biceps position here? ARE NOT? Then it’s just us.
The European and North American designs have a lot going on: an all-out street brawl in the lower area, two enemies facing off in the foreground, and bright red backdrops – not to mention literally Double Dragon wraps around the title. It might be a bit much, but there’s no denying that it tells you everything you need to know about the game in question.
Japan
Japanese design takes a different, more artistic approach. The relative realism of the previous visuals is replaced by a manga art style and some sweet fight compositions, with large, looming figures drawing our eyes gradually down to the brawl. below. It may be a little less vibrant than the EU/NA offering, but the artwork is impressive.
Thank you for voting! See you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
