Are the box art designs for Double Dragon giving you some serious Arnie and Carl Weathers Predator vibes with the bicep placement? Maybe it’s just us.

The European and North American design stands out with a chaotic street brawl at the bottom, two adversaries facing off in the foreground, and a bold red backdrop. Not to mention the literal Double Dragon wrapped around the title. It might be a bit overwhelming, but it effectively conveys everything you need to know about the game.

The Japanese design takes a different, more artistic approach with a manga art style and a captivating fighter composition. Large, looming figures draw the eyes down to the brawl at the bottom. While it may not be as vibrant as the EU/NA version, this artwork is undeniably impressive.
