"Fumito Udea: What do you think about the cover of the US version of Ico? [Awkward silence] Fumito Udea: I had some reservations about the package design, but in the end, ICO sold well in the US. So the package design must have been the right choice. Junichi Hosono: I've sort of developed an attachment to the design over the years. Kenji Kaido: After ten years, it grows on you. Junichi Hosono: Even now, people still talk about it. You see it on Top Ten Worst Game Covers, and stuff like that. Kenji Kaido: In that sense, that artwork leaves an impression on people. Junichi Hosono: ICO and Mega Man are the ones people mention."
