Box Art Brawl: Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age Of Heroes (Dreamcast)

Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.

North America

Despite MvC2’s vast roster of characters, the North American box art decided to focus on just one character per brand: Psylocke representing Marvel, and Guile representing Capcom. What’s quite funny, however, is the original design from Japanese artist Bengus can just about be seen in the background. Most notably, you can see Guile to the left of, uh… Guile.

Europe

Europe’s approach utilises Bengus’ cover art to great effect, though our biggest issue with this one is that the Dreamcast logo at the top cuts off some of the incredible artwork underneath. So for example, the awesome side profile of Wolverine is almost completely missing here. Still, it’s an iconic design, and the clean white background may just give it an edge.

Japan

The artwork for Japan is pretty much presented in its most complete form, utilising the extra space to reveal the likes of Wolverine and Guile at the top. The Dreamcast, MvC2, and Capcom logos are all tucked away nicely, allowing the main attraction to really shine here. Colours are also slightly darker than its European counterpart, and we love the dark borders on the left and right.

Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of Box Art Brawl.
