Sonic and the Black Knight, Japanese Box

Sonic and the Black Knight, Japanese Box on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Sega are taking a different approach in box-art for the latest Sonic sidestory for Wii, Black Knight.

The blue hedgehog's European and US artwork is near identical except a little vertical push, but his Japanese design shows the now sword-fighter facing sideways and giving us a lovely smile, awww!

Better? Worse? Both good/needing improvement?

Both are great but I think the Euro/US boxart does a better job at displaying the theme of the game.

I don't know.... the Japanese one is pretty bad-ass.... Smilie

Liking the red BG over the greens/blues! Imo they could have made the box match the in-game style instead of a bog standard Sonic render..

I think this one is more interesting. That "Rushing into battle" look always works for me. Smilie

Yeah, jb's idea is better then the other boxarts.
But I think I like the European/US the most. It looks a bit less Sonic then the Japanese. The Japanese one gives me the 'it's a plastic-Sonic with phong shading' look.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

They are both awsome but this one is better because of the red colour. It stands out really well. it would have been good if we could have had this backround.

Wait, what the...?

Isn\'t that just altered Sonic ATSR artwork? O_o

Hm, it\'s slightly different, but it\'s bloody similar...
