It simply clashes with everything else in the headline.Coupling that with the $60 price tag, it's as if Ubisoft wants Senko no Ronde to flop in retail. At the very least, I wouldn't be surprised if the game dropped in price fairly quickly in order to recover sales.I would still buy it at that retail price though, I'm just glad to see this title finally get confirmed for a US release and find it's way onto American shelves.

Why is it that Western video game box art always have to look so bland and dull? I remember importing VP2 Silmeria when it came out in Japan and fell in love with the box art because of how symbolic it was of Silmeria and Alicia (if you've played the game, you know what I mean); but then comes the U.S. cover with a typical uninteresting box art that shows action (Alicia getting ready to do a horizontal slash with her sword). Good lord.At least Senko no Ronde is coming Stateside. That'll give me a reason to play my 360 aside from Eternal Sonata this summer. @jeffx

That should give gamers a better idea of what the game is about than the Japanese boxart ever will. I can imagine at a glance, more people would be willing to pick it up with that cover, as stylish as the original may seem it just doesn't put up a good representative of this shmup/fighter hybrid in comparison.
