Welcome to Box Art Brawl<\/a>, the weekly series where we pit regional box art variants against each other in a fight for your approval.<\/p>\n

Last week<\/a> the fastest thing alive dropped into the brawl with the seminal Sonic 2<\/a><\/strong> for Genesis \/ Mega Drive. In a close battle between the three regions, it was ultimately North America who triumphed, with Japan coming a close second and Europe trailing behind.<\/p>\n

This week we thought we’d look at a rather divisive entry in the Metroid series, Metroid: Other M<\/a><\/strong>, which had its 10th anniversary back on 31st August. It’s been a while since we featured Samus \u2014 in fact, she opened the Box Art Brawl series in style back in Brawl #1<\/a>. Say what you will about this decade-old game, but one of the covers below is something a bit special<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To be fair, we thought the Perfect Dark brawl<\/a> was a foregone conclusion, so perhaps this one will surprise us as well. Visors down; it’s time to scan.<\/p>\n

North America and Europe<\/h2>\n

You know, this cover boasts an attractive painterly style, strong composition, eye-catching colours, and an enigmatic logo. The white Wii tab along the top takes away from the mood somewhat, but this is a lovely piece of art and would be a strong contender most weeks…<\/p>\n

Japan<\/h2>\n

Oh my.<\/em> They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so several pictures<\/em> should render all discussion mute.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, we’ll turn you over to the Nintendo Life Instagram account for the full glory of the Japanese reversible slip-cover version. Be sure to click on the right arrow to cycle through the various options this gorgeous cover presents…<\/p>\n
