Honestly, I kinda wish all NES games had the black box art motif. I think it's the only system of Nintendo's that doesn't have an obvious template to its game covers and it makes game boxes all lack consistency when you line them up. Only the black box games look like they belong on the same system.

I too thought this way as an autistic child who would become anxious and stressed when I would obsessively think about things that didn’t conform to the strict patterns I formes in my head

I disagree. The black box is good for branding on Nintendo's part at the expense of the creative expression of the developer. I don't have any interest in games as IP or as means to further Nintendo's profit, I see them as individual works that are valid on their own.

Black border was cool. So was Konami's grey boxes.

Unrelated, but what is Nintendo's fucking obsession with this shitty game?

Between this and Smash, Nintendo can't into fightan, but they figure if they meme hard enough, people will accept it.

I don't. The Master System is kinda like that and I think it looks bad

There's clearly a lack of proper design for Master System's boxart, but Super Nintendo had a good boxart template.

Agreed, I also think it's better than the NES Black Box because for the NES, the artwork is only half the image

At least Smash is marginally entertaining on the fanservice alone. Urban Champion is just plain bland and dumb, and yet it gets into every compilation and Virtual Console.

The brand recognition aspect of the NES boxart was important early on, but after the system became huge it wasn't as necessarry, and wasn't worth the limits it put on box design.

Also a key part of those logos was the "Action series" "Adventure series" "sports series" label in the corner which almost immediately became outdated.
