Ninja Gaiden boxart flips into view, falls flat on backside

As if the news of Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword being delayed until next March wasn't disappointing enough (news that was super-officially confirmed by a Tecmo press release today, by the way), the boxart for the game is ... well, not necessarily bad, but certainly underwhelming. Not ninjatastic. It might just be us, but the whole thing comes across as a bit half-assed, the kind of design a Tecmo work experience lackey might churn out on Photoshop during his lunch break. We really hope that didn't happen, Tecmo.
Here's hoping the game, which we're immensely looking forward to, makes more of an impact than its packaging.

Looks kinda bargain-binnish. So it goes.

Does it really matter how good the box looks?

yea its the difference of selling to fanbase only, or to mainstream who get attracted by the boxart and think "this game looks awsome!" imo

Well, actually.. It fits in nicely with the cheesy side of the franchise.. You know, the ultrashiny-mega-blood-splattering-guts-ripping-ninja-action..
