Bad box arts

I'm sorry but ever since they first showed this, I always found it stupid. Why is Claude upside-down
 
hmm i wouldn't say i can think of any outright terrible box arts, but i guess bowser's inside story's is kinda bland especially when compared to how great the game is
 
Usually, Pokémon boxart is great. They always have good boxes when it comes to Nintendo Consoles. But put them on the Sega Pico Beena, and you get this boxart.

If you never heard of the Beena, basically it's a successor to the Pico that was only released in Japan, and had several officially licensed Pokémon games on it during generations 3, 4, and 5. However, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Search for Pokémon! Adventure in the Maze's boxart is just way too cluttered with them. A few of them is nice, but this box has 30-40 Pokémon taking over all of the space, leaving very little room for anything else. Talk about laziness.

Easily the worst PAC-MAN box art, by miles.

I know I'm cheating since this was bad on purpose but I never pass up an excuse to show the Phalanx box art.

It's...an interesting way to try to differentiate themselves from all the other space shooters in the market that's for sure.

I mean, disregard the creepy, low-budget bootleggy looking character models, the title in of itself is very difficult to read.
