At least it hides a bit of what’s worst about that game: the generic-ass character art.
Ayami Kojima was sorely missed on the otherwise excellent AoS and DoS.
Every re-release of Skyrim should just be a photo of whatever the previous release was with 'Now for ' or 'GAME OF THE YEAR!' or whatever as a banner below it.
Hated that, along with psones bright green label and PS2's red. Like damn I know I'm late to the party, why do you gotta make me feel like I have a lesser product?
A game so amazing they took a picture of the box and put that on the cover over another release of the same game in celebration of first release's success. Wild.
You know how Amazon will sometimes reprint books using scanned cover art rather than original assets and you can tell because like stickers were scanned into the artwork too?
You know, creating a believable shadow probably was more work than just putting the cover art on it and putting Konami’s Best in the corner like every god fearing best of cover does.
I was going to make a joke about how Konami only had one good DS game but I think it really might have been their only one that sold well enough to consider that. The Hudson brand did well from Mario Party DS, but not Konami I don't think. Huh.

Love the podcast every week, keep up the good work!
What a weird box.
