Vote: Best WarioWare, Inc. Mega Party Game$ Cover

A weekly Box Art Brawl opened voting on the GameCube cover designs for WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$, inviting readers to choose among North American, European and Japanese regional covers. The feature displayed all three designs and asked readers to cast votes. The North American cover centers on a full-body image of Wario positioned at the top, with several series characters arranged beneath him against a blue background. A central logo sits in the middle, with dividing lines that extend outward and organize the composition. The European cover uses the same Wario artwork but removes the additional characters and the blue backing. It replaces them with a flat yellow field that reaches up into the GameCube banner, creating a simpler layout. The Japanese cover focuses on Wario’s facial features instead of a full-body portrait, set against a pink polka-dot background and emphasizing a compact, character-focused presentation. Mega Party Game$ is the first main WarioWare release on a home console and features rapid microgames and a comic presentation. The Box Art Brawl feature runs weekly and invites readers to compare regional box art. A recent edition of the same feature compared three NES Yoshi covers; the European design received 48 percent of the vote, followed by the North American and Japanese designs with 41 percent and 11 percent, respectively. Voting on the WarioWare covers is open and the feature is scheduled to return next week with another matchup.
