    In a life-and-death battle, which one would emerge victorious?

    For no good reason too. This series has great aesthetics.

    Well, would you say they were right?
    These covers just screm that they were obviously designed because "MUST be cool / gross! People won't buy it if it is just presented as a a puzzle game or, Lord have mercy, cutesy!".
    Would you say they were wrong? WOuld the game still have sold with some cute characters on the cover?
    The same thing that gave us pissed Kirby.

    I kinda miss coverart and ads from when it was clear that some of the designers involved knew nothing about videogames, or maybe even flat out thought they were stupid. Sometimes you can just feel the contempt.

    jesus fucking christ what the fuck

    I can see why. An American executive back then would think a game that looks like either of those could be only marketed towards girls or children. But the gameplay itself appeals to everyone. They probably asked some advertising agency to do something "out there" because if you take away the cutesy characters, how else do you market and sell a puzzle game about balls?
