Wow, that yellow border almost looks worse than the biggest hit green borders on PS1's best selling games. I haven't seen the biggest hit art for PS2 games, could someone put that up?
You know, this is a real shame. Although I hated Nintendo's box art during the N64 days, I loved that instead of that ugly green thing Sony had on best selling PS1 games, Nintendo had a somewhat decent solution with changing the seal of approval to a golden ribbon. I expected them to do the same here, but apparently that wasn't in yo face enough. This yellow boarder just totally ruins the improvements they made with their "GCN game" logo on the box art. On the other hand, MS's box art, which WAS the worst looking this gen with that sickly green on black and that ugly yellow "only on xbox" gen x looking stamp now has a pretty decent looking silver and green logo thing going. It actually looks kinda neat.
Anyway, Nintendo really should have just done something simple and clean. They could have just changed it from black to silver.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
