      I think it's because apart from Big, Gamma, and maybe Amy, the player already knows who to expect to be playable when playing Adventure 1: Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. In Chaotix, other than Knuckles the entire playable cast has never been seen before as it's their debut game.

    If you're wondering what his thoughts are on Sonic Frontiers' box art. He summed it up on his Twitter account. I'll quote on what it said:
    "Saw some folks asking for my thoughts on the Sonic Frontiers box art given my previous video about Sonic Box Art.
    The American and Europe one is pretty good, Sonic's pose is great and I don't think we've seen him grind before on a box which stands out, although I'd be curious in what it would look like if Sonic is looking at the camera, instead of off into nothing;
    Saying this, I think the Japanese box is 10x better, derivative of Breath of the Wild, but it really sells the Open Zone "Frontiers" angle more than ours."

    Unleashed is personally my favorite. I love how they play with perspective. Normal Sonic has his leg kicked out in a run, and the Werehog is lunging at the screen with his claws. It tells you what to expect from the gameplay.

    Fun tidbit, Sonic's running position on the Sonic Generations cover is the same as his running position on the Sonic 06 cover. Could be coincidence but I'm not sure. I do agree that Sonic 06's cover is dynamic and clean af.

    Here's one thing I noticed on all of SONIC's box art. The inner "O" in "SONIC", is slightly tilted to the right. This design choice surprisingly dates all the way back to the first game!

  • @RedTsarOldChannel-INACTIVE
    @RedTsarOldChannel-INACTIVE 3 года назад +6

    Additional info here:
    Tectoy (Brazil) used the EU box art in Sonic 1,and followed the US pattern after Sonic 2.
    And they actually re-released both games in the red Mega Drive/Genesis standard template! Sonic 1 had the Master System (It was different from the Game Gear box art) box art,while Sonic 2 retained the original art, just slightly crunched horizontally.
