As reported on MMN, this is the cover art for the US release of Mega Man X Collection.

For those also interested, the same artist rendered this piece.

Sadly, I cannot divulge the origins of the art, but let's say it should come as no surprise, and with any luck, may have good bearings on my own future plans.

The piece isn't bad. But X looks a bit funky in the head-area, to me. The way the eyes and the helmet meet... same for Zero, but it works better for him. Details on X's helmet seem a little too small, too.

Sigma looks great, though. And Zero seems to be pretty slick, I do like the pose on the boxart.

And still, I cannot help but wonder what the Japanese boxart will look like. Wonder if it's too late to ask Capcom to do double-sided sleeves for the game, one Japanese, the other American.

You assume this is going to be released in Japan at all. Most likely it's similar to the original MM Anniversary Collection and is unique to the U.S.

Well, I base it on what Capcom has told us, anyway... MMAC was full of games that'd just been re-released individually on seperate discs for PS1 in Japan, save for MM7 and the two arcade games, the latter of which got their own special release there with new features, last I heard.

Extreme Mode (fight all robot masters and bosses in one sitting), choice for english and japanese language, sound test, etc. Yup, pretty new... well the first feature is new at least.

Hmm cover seems alright I suppose. I can't wait to see the finishing product, hopefully some time before Thanksgiving.

Hey...that would be cool to put both Jap and US covers on that thing. Sometimes the Jap cover comes out better-looking than the US cover. And that's because...Hmm...Why is that?

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

...the US version strips away any and all indictations there was ever a non-solid color, non-starburst background?

That does make sense...a little. The Jap covers are always shiny and have lots of eye candy. Too bad I live in the US. Kids here have little to no imagination whatsoever.
