As you can clearly see Nintendo had to wait 12 days to sell us the Wii U in Australia due to one reason, our video game spines and disc art are FAR superior to yours. You U.S folk received the dumbed down, inferior version just so that you could play your Wii U's earlier.

Wii U PAL master race, sorry guys, it's over.

And yes, that is infact a sloppy AC3 case, I just spilled water on it, so what? We don't mess around where I'm from.

And a toothpick for good measure.

Hi, my name is Alph. I live on a planet named Koppai. I am famous for saving my planet from starvation. My best friends are Brittany and Captain Olimar, NOT Captain Charlie. I like surfing the KopNet and playing Kopetball.

I need a comparison side-by-side to decide which race will control the world's game supply after 2012.

Perhaps this is why we have to cough up more money too.

Japan and Europe have always gotten the better box arts, this is not new. You got something good over there right? For a long time you guys were the last to get everything.

At least we don't have the rating on the side of the box.

I didn't realize box art was important to some. I would be happy with a white background and black letters consisting of the games name. Also if I am reading the box correctly in your picture for ZombiU do I see an 18? In the US it is "M" which means 17. So the US gets the games 1st and can play them at a younger age. Hmmmmmm

I never understood why you guys always have to wait for things.

Link for rating system.

Gee, a blue spine. You win man. There's no way us Americans (and Canadians) can compete with your eastern style. Silly us, with our earlier release date, and our in most cases lower price. It just wasn't worth it when we could have had a blue spine instead of a white one. /sarcasm

I don't know about other games, but the European box art for Zombi U is ugly. I prefer my US one.

Yeah.. no.. lol. Maybe if you buy pre-order Call of Duty from EBGames, but that price isn't seem anymore, the highest you'll see now is $89 and you'd have to be pretty stupid to buy anything for that price as you could just walk a few more stores down and go to the shops that have it for $78, $68, if I wanted to as well I could buy a new high price game for $50 or less online and wait for shipping, plus steam sales rip the crap out of any bargain you'll find on a console.

To be perfectly honest though, I actually prefer Nintendo Land's North American disk art over this one. The EU/Aus art just looks too cluttered to me.
