Line 200:
*** The art shift also renders one character, though ostensibly wearing the same outfit, considerably more [[Stripperiffic]].
* While it's not a comparison between American and Japanese, looking at the boxart on the Xbox360 version of ''[[Eternal Sonata]]'' then looking at the [[PlayStation 3]] version reveals that there were some drastic changes. The 360 version looks bright and innocent, with characters standing in a grassy meadow. The [[PlayStation 3]] version has a darker background, and has the characters looking angry in various action poses.

* When ''[[Pokémon]]'' was being localized for America, a significant portion of people at Nintendo thought that the characters were [[It Will Never Catch On|too cute to sell well]], and tried to get all of the Pokémon redone for the states as muscle-bound humanoid Pro-Wrestling monsters. In other words, they wanted to turn Pikachu into [[Kinnikuman]].
** Compare the box-art of the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/1/19/PokemonYellowJapanese.png Japanese version] of Pokémon Yellow to the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/2/2b/Pokemon_Yellow_boxart.jpg American version]. Remarkably similar to the depiction of Kirby from Japan to America.

** ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'' originally had [http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/3/929343_69064_front.jpg a more peaceful, friendly group shot], while the American cover image has [http://shaunmusco.com/images/Printed/PS2%20Covers/Tales_Of_The_Abyss_Dvd_ntsc.jpg everybody except the girls fighting, and Luke ready to slice the player's head in half].
** ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'' has, in the original version, [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/image/561316.html?box=22525 another smiling group shot]. In the US, [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/gamecube/image/561316.html?box=22524 another fight scene].
** ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', the same - [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/image/942210.html?box=93562 Japanese cover], [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/wii/image/942210.html?box=99493 American cover]. The [http://wii.gaming-universe.de/screens/boxart_eur_tales-of-symphonia-dawn-of-the-new-world-big.jpg European cover], however, goes for a simple group shot
* The game ''[[Resonance of Fate]]'' has [http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/400/cover.jpg peaceful box art] with the [[Three Amigos|three protagonists]] looking upon a tower in its original Japanese release ''End of Eternity''. The [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c3/Resonance_of_Fate_Cover_Art.jpg US box art] is shown to have them on various action poses with [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|their guns to the viewer]].
* In ''[[Fragile Dreams]]'' for the Wii, the English voices are closer to the age of the characters, around 14/15, while the Japanese voices make the characters sound younger. In addition, the box art, which was reversible in the American version, showed a vicious looking Seto holding a golf club on the American side, while the Japanese box art shows Seto and Ren holding hands over a watery background.
