Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I had no idea RA3 had an alternate cover.
Mega Man Zero 2
Mega Man X7
...and plenty of others follow that pattern.
MegaMan Legends
Misadventures of Tron Bonne
MegaMan Legends 2
Mega Man Powered Up (just like the game it's a remake of, Europe beats the US for a change)
And to wrap up, something a little different: Super Mario Bros.
Most of the early first-party NES games seemed to follow this kind of pattern, with the Japan and Europe versions being similar.
It's a reversible cover, actually. Quite the surprise when I first discovered it.
It's a very good representation of Megaman in live action.
Considering the horrible covers from both US and UK, I was surprised seeing EU get such a great cover.

Word. That's a great cover. LucasArts has had some great ones.
Hehe, you had been warned. A lot of the stuff is nothing like that i.e. the MGS covers, it is worth taking a look just brace yourself for the banner.
Well, they are going to war, and
Welcome to the world on this side.
I'm not sure if the right one was used in Europe only or just changed before the game was released in the US. Some Canadian purchasers said they have the right one. I've personally have yet to encounter it.

Not a real fan of clothing I see.

Lime for truth.
The cover is what really drew me to purchasing the game in the first place- though that little demo that came with Riven may have been a factor.
It's a shame to see it cluttered up with logos and indents, I (probably incorrectly) remember my boxed copy being a little clearer!

I don't have either, exactly; mine looks like the one on the right, but has a blurb at the bottom boasting that it comes from the creator of Mario and Zelda. I assume that's something that was changed, along with the rating, of course.
It should also be noted that I acquired mine as part of a two-pack from Zeller's which included Donkey Konga 2, which I already had.
Never seen the left one before.

Thou dare question the power of the mighty Mjolnir, which may only be wielded by those deemed worthy of its strength?
Campy 80s 'art' has never been good, and never will be.
