We’re again, again, again for an additional version Field Artwork Brawl!
Final time we matched up three regional covers for the DS’ Tremendous Scribblenauts and it was North America’s character-focused design that walked away with the win, receiving 55% of the vote. Europe adopted in second with 33% whereas the Japanese variant introduced up the rear with 12%.
This time, we’re heading again into the sewers as we match up two totally different covers for Konami’s completely bodacious SNES fighter, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Event Fighters (‘Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles‘ for these in Europe and ‘TMNT: Mutant Warriors‘ in Japan — yep, it is complicated). Launched on the SNES in 1993, this was one in every of a trio of video games that Konami developed for the NES, SNES and Genesis respectively, every with their very own distinctive story and characters. You’ll be able to try all variations on the sensible Cowabunga Assortment, we’d add.
With Europe and North America sharing nearly an identical covers this time (other than the title change, obvs) we now have ourselves an excellent old school head-to-head with the spicy Japanese design. Let’s examine them out.
Make sure you forged your votes within the ballot beneath; however first, let’s try the field artwork designs themselves.
North America / Europe
It is gritty. It is darkish. It has surprisingly little concentrate on precise preventing. This cowl is dominated by a grimacing Donatello within the background as a a lot smaller sprite faces off in opposition to Armaggon within the backside proper (the NES and Genesis variations had the same format however with totally different match-ups — Leo vs. Hothead on NES and Raph vs. Triceraton on Genesis, when you’re questioning). It is all fairly good, although that slogan of “No road fighter has ever seen fighters or preventing like this” may do with an edit.
Japan
Japan’s design goes for one thing utterly totally different. The darkish tones are right here changed by vibrant reds because the 4 Turtles stand entrance and centre whereas a group of their enemies lurk menacingly behind them. It’d lack among the grit of the previous cowl, however we like how eye-catching this one is and it is fascinating to see the Turtles trying like their 2003 animated counterparts a decade earlier.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you subsequent time for an additional spherical of the Field Artwork Brawl.
