The Worst Of Nintendo 64 Box Art
If you didn’t know, today marks the fifteenth anniversary of the N64’s release in 1996. That was a long time ago. It also appears that many of the art makers were design school dropouts. And sometimes, deranged. [Eds. note: The fact that these games look bad does not mean they are.]
The caterpillar (???) is directly in front of the blue “chameleon,” yet he really needs to wrap his tongue all the way around his head to get it?
That mouth… those eyes. And some deformed Hitmonchan-looking thing on the right, of course.
Nothing would ever look that curious and bemused if it were being smashed into giant structures using its head. Also, “reckin’ ” is inexcusable.
I’m mostly disturbed about what this cover means goes on in the actual gameplay.
Having to look at this garbage is exactly where the term “no mercy” comes from.
No petting zoos, but instead, bulbous animals floating around haphazardly in space.
Are we to understand that you’re throwing bowling balls down a monster’s gigantic tongue?
Although the box looks pretty horrible, this mostly made the list because the premise of the game just being built around a robot that has wheels is just stupid.
The background is horrifying, but I do applaud the player for looking like he doesn’t give any kind of a fuck.
If you know a game that’s missing, add its box art in the comments.

benji138 a year agoJust because you personally don’t like some of the box art doesn’t mean it’s bad. Your comment on #4 makes sense, but that doesn’t mean the art is bad. Compositionally it works pretty well, and the 3D has aged decently over time. Now, give me a legitimate reason why #12 is on this list? Um, yes, you ARE meant to understand that you’re bowling down a monster’s tongue. Don’t criticize the box art for (gasp) showing you WHAT TO EXPECT IN THE GAME. Plus, with comments like “What the actual fuck?” on Clayfighter make it obvious that you’re just hating on all of this box art because you were probably too young to even remember the launch of the N64 and are forcing negative comments just for the hell of it. Clayfighter was a fun game and the box art for it probably drew in a lot of kids to play it, myself included. Bad Mr. Frosty was a neat character. Finally, your comment on Snowboard Kids, “This just looks awful” is laughable. Wow, what a zinger. You sure nailed that one. This is one of the laziest, stupidest articles I’ve ever read on BuzzFeed and you should be embarrassed for half-assing something that actually would had some decent potential if it were done by someone who knew what the hell they were talking about. And yes, I could do better, if that’s what you’re thinking.
