Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.
Europe / North America
The western design for Mega Man X2 is very action-oriented. It showcases X himself zooming along in his Ride Chaser, with Magna Centipede looking suitably menacing in the background. You can also see a couple of other Mavericks and standard enemies further out in the background, but why X seems to be running away from them, we don’t know. You should be fighting them! Anyway, this is a really nice composition and reflects the opening scene of the game rather well. Man, we wish the Ride Chaser would show up more often…
Japan
Japan’s design is incredibly eye-catching and utilises the portrait orientation to great effect. Here, you’ve got quite literally all of the Mavericks in full view with X front and center. You can even see Sigma looming in the distance! We’d argue that perhaps the composition is a bit too busy, overall, but there’s no denying it’s a gorgeous piece of artwork.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
