Not too bad - liking the WW style, and the cool background especially.

Indeed, I too like the style, very nice. Though I could swear that the Japanese box looked the same Smilie

, can't remember...

edit: Wait, nevermind Smilie . Though the Japanese one looked good too.

!:shock:!

I am surprised, I would have thought it would be exactly the same as the japanese one, but no this is better I reckon, it's distinct and the japanese one harked of WW perhaps a little too much.{LS]

Outta interest what do people prefer?-

I can't decide which of the two I like better - both are great in my opinion. I'm slightly leaning toward the Japanese one as I like the nice blue and the scenery, but I wouldn't be disappointed to get the other one either.

It would seem the above art is only for the U.S, we in europe will be getting the bluey japanese box-

Most european hardcore Zelda fans will be importing the game from the U.S as I will, but this does not mean I will not get the european box also as I have always intended on getting two copies for multiplayer Smilie .{LS]

Isn't that large G for the Australian market? Anyway, I much prefer the Japanese box as the new logo sits better against the blue ocean background.

Whoa.

Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

Even though Oz is a Pal territory they are also getting the U.S box, it would seem. I like both, but if I had to choose based purely on aesthetics I would choose the bluey kind because it's nice and bright.{LS]

This one is a lot better than the Japanese version, the Jap one looks tacky.

Indeed it is. The G stands for "General Audiences."

Even though Oz is a Pal territory they are aslo getting the U.S box, it would seem. I like both, but if I had to choose based purely on aesthetics I would choose the bluey kind because it's nice and bright.{LS]

Actually we usually get the PAL boxarts. I don't recall ever having an American boxart.

Phoenom 01.09.2007#12

IMO, both boxarts are pretty good. I don't mind which we get.

James2t3 01.09.2007#13

I like the PAL one(or is it that the box for the whole western market?) the way it's meant too look like a old map with the markings and such on it.

Mandown 01.09.2007#14

That the U.S and Australia one.{LS]

ohm 01.09.2007#15

Well chances you guys will probably get the same one then. Otherwise that's odd that we get the US cover.

Galvanizer 01.09.2007#16

That's not the PAL Boxart!

If you go to the Phantom Hourglass page on Nintendo UK. It shows the Japanese Boxart as the PAL Boxart. Even has the 7+ in the corner.

Here is the URL: Link.

mod edit: just fixing page stretch

Yeah I know you guys normally get the same but on the evidence of that pic you may get the same art as the U.S?.{LS]

I like the title, with the hourglass icon. Looks great. The rest of it is just average.

Oh ok. That's cool.

Yeah I liked that too, the weathered look always goes well with me.

Marzeee 01.09.2007#20

Smilie That looks awesome! seriously the Japanese one looks nice, but that Australian one just looks incredible.

I'd much rather have the Australian boxart, I hope Europe gets the same one.

My ONM award I'm so proud

Sweet I like it a lot. So this is the one I'd get since I'm in the US? I definitely prefer this over the blue (even though that one's quite nice). The whole map look is very cool.
