Box Art Brawl – Duel: Excitebike 64

Be sure to cast your votes in the poll below; but first, let’s check out the box art designs themselves.

The Western design for Excitebike 64 does a great job of representing what the game is all about: performing mindblowing leaps of faith off a ramp as you tear around the race course.

Granted, there’s a lot of unused space in this one that’s haphazardly covered up by a bunch of logos in the bottom right, so we’re not overly keen on that, but all in all, it’s a pretty great box art.

Japan’s approach, meanwhile, is a lot more stylised, putting the portrait orientation to full use. Here, we’ve got a red and black background with an image of a racer dominating front and center, the front wheel of the bike taking up the lion’s share of the composition.

It’s incredibly eye-catching, but does it beat out the Western design? Well, that’s up to you.


Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
