This is a design topic that I've wanted to hit for a long time now. The differences between North American game box art versus the Japanese versions. It's interesting because back in the day most games originated from Japan, so you could tell they tried to tone things down so they'd sell to Americans. My example for this will be Mega Man 2 which is notorious for really weird box art.
The art is very western stylized while still showing the contents of some of the different levels all in one package on the front cover. The purple boarder is working in good contrast with the warm reds and yellows used, and it takes itself pretty seriously for a video game.
