Vote for your favourite terrible KOF XII cover art
Jigsaw:
Ignition Entertainment (US publishers of The King of Fighters XII) are letting fans vote for which cover design to use for the upcoming PS3 version of KOF XII. While I can appreciate this kind of fan interaction, I see little point in it when both options are as terrible as this. Seriously, what gives?
Anyway, I thought I'd mention it in case any KOF fans here want to make their voice heard (or if, unlike me, you have the energy to actually register at their forums to whine about it there... :P)

I don't know ... The King of Fighters 98 had some pretty bad art too :D
Jigsaw:
Regardless of what you think of fighting game characters attending cocktail parties, at least it had a proper cover illustration! As far as cover designs go, there are few things I hate more than poorly cobbled-together collages... for some reason it seems to be standard practice with US cover designs.
I hadn't noticed before, but there is a similar poll for the 360 version. The 360 designs aren't nearly as appalling as the PS3 ones, but they're still pretty terrible. Boring reuse of art, drab colour scheme, weird logo placement, etc etc...

Yeah, I actually kinda liked KOF98's artwork. It looked classy, like King of Fighters had some high-class country club close by.
Yeah, this artwork is pretty boring. I mean, I like the art work, I just hate the composition. I guess this means its up to us.

Here's my 'so-far' take on it.
