Let's Play: 'Which Box Art is Better?' (Style Savvy edition)

Did you get your fill of Style Savvy cover art last week when I devoted a "Which Box Art is Better Post?" to the just-released Style Savvy: Trendsetters and its international counterparts?

I hope not, as you're going to get a bit more of it today.

This time around, though, we're going to check out the box art that was created for the original Style Savvy.

Here's the "art" (yes, I'm using the word loosely in this case) that appeared on covers of the North American version of the game, which hit store shelves in late 2009:


Sadly, the art made for the game's European packaging, below, isn't much better. In fact, I think it could easily be said that it's worse than the North American version's box art.


So, how does the box art of the Japanese original, Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode, stack up? Pretty well, if you ask me.


Sure, it features far too much text, but at least that text is nicely stylized and colored.

As such, I'm personally giving Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode's box art the nod this time around. That's just my opinion, though; which cover do you like best?

Let's Play: 'Which Box Art is Better?' (Style Savvy: Trendsetters edition)

Earlier this week, Nintendo of America released for the 3DS the long-awaited (by yours truly, at least) sequel to its fashion-focused DS game, Style Savvy.

In honor of that release, I decided to devote an entire "Which Box Art is Better?" post to it and its international counterparts.

Japanese gamers got their hands on the title first (on Sept. 27), so let's start with it. It's known as Wagamama Fashion Girls Mode Yokubari Sengen in its home market, by the way, and it sports a pleasantly colorful piece of cover art.


The box art created for the North American version, which is called Style Savvy: Trendsetters, on the other hand is decidedly less captivating.


Not that the art that's set to grace covers of the European iteration--which will be branded New Style Boutique and which will hit store shelves on Nov. 16--is any more interesting:


Those of you who have been paying attention likely have figured out that the Japanese box art is by far my favorite. Do you agree, or do you prefer the art that was created for its European or North American  counterparts?
