Final week we took it to the green as we matched up two covers from Mario Golf: Advance Tour. Reader, it was a washout. The North American / European cowl took the competitors by a rustic mile, snatching up 81% of the vote and leaving the Mario-less Japanese cowl with the remaining 19%.
This time, we’re taking a look at a unique type of inexperienced. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Challenge (generally known as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Manhattan Challenge in Japan as a result of first recreation being printed underneath a unique title) was launched in 1991 on the Famicom and 1992 on the NES. Persevering with the identical side-scrolling beat-em-up construction because the earlier video games, the title did not make its strategy to Europe till 2022’s Cowabunga Assortment, so there are simply the 2 covers to take a look at this week.
Able to kick some shell? Let’s shred it!
Be sure you forged your votes within the ballot beneath; however first, let’s take a look at the field artwork designs themselves.
North America
Coming off the again of the unique animated sequence’s fifth season (and extra according to the darker tone that we would see in later episodes) the North American cowl is all doom and gloom. Raph stands, grimacing within the foreground whereas his brothers take out foes massive and small behind. The background even comprises the titular Manhattan Challenge, with the long-lasting New York borough floating within the sky.
Japan
Now that is… totally different. Sure, the Turtles do look a bit of offended, however this Japan cowl is worlds away from the grit of the NA counterpart. There is not any combating, no bleak background nor a floating metropolis. It is all vivid colors and chunky turtles over right here. Maybe not essentially the most game-related cowl on the market, however it positive is eye-catching.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you subsequent time for an additional spherical of the Field Artwork Brawl.
