After seeing the adorably (some might say overly) green box art for
New Super Luigi U, I couldn't help but dedicate a "Which Box Art is Better?" post to it and its Mario-branded predecessor.
Before we get to our verdicts, though, I probably should point out that the digital version of
New Super Luigi U will hit the Wii U eShop on June 20 (in North America) carrying a price tag of
$19.99, while the boxed version will follow on Aug. 25 and cost $29.99.
Is the retail release's packaging worth an extra $10? I'm not sure I'd go that far, but I'd certainly go so far as to say I find it pretty darn appealing.
That said, how does it compare to the cover art produced for last year's
New Super Mario Bros. U? Fairly well, I think.
Don't take that to mean that I unquestionably prefer
New Super Luigi U's box art to
New Super Mario Bros. U's. In fact, at the moment, I think I slightly prefer the latter to the former--mainly because it seems brighter and more colorful.
Do you prefer one to the other? If so, which one do you prefer?
