Remember to participate in the poll below before reading further; let’s dive into the details of the box art designs!

North America

The box art design for North America and Europe share many similarities, differing mainly in the portrayal of Ryu Hayabusa and the artistic approach. In this version, Ryu embodies a more ‘traditional’ ninja look, with only his eyes visible under his shadowy attire. Additionally, he is equipped with formidable weaponry.

Europe

The European version, on the other hand, presents a more humanized depiction of Ryu, revealing more of his facial features. While he has lost most of his weapons, he still carries a katana on his back. The background remains largely the same, with similar color schemes. One notable difference is the variation in the title logo!

Japan

The Japanese box art presents a stark contrast, resembling a screenshot from an anime film. Despite the divergence, it offers a captivating image of Ryu wielding his katana with finesse. The use of Japanese text for the title adds a delightful touch to the overall design.
