Howdy, Virtual Boy fans! Welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Last time<\/a>, we matched up a pair of covers for Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi’s Island<\/a>, and it was a pretty close-run contest. The classic SMW2 art came out on top in the end, though, with North America taking 59% of the vote, leaving the pretty Japanese variant with 41%.<\/p>\n

This week, to mark the announcement of the Virtual Boy’s Nintendo Switch Online launch line-up<\/a>, we’re taking a look at one of the titles that you’ll be able to play from 17th February: Red Alarm<\/a>. This Star Fox<\/strong>-style space shooter joins the likes of Teleroboxer<\/a> and Virtual Boy Wario Land<\/a> on the service right from the jump, so it seems only right that we all become acquainted with its box art ahead of time.<\/p>\n

Being a Virtual Boy title, there’s obviously no European cover to look at this week, but the North American and Japanese designs make for a neat head-to-head. So, let’s get into it.<\/p>\n
