When I did not know about the JP, EU was the best.

What do you think?

I think the NA personally. It being the cover of my copy, I learned to love it for my favorite NES game. It has an eerie awe that really makes me wonder what the artist/s had in mind when making it. Is it an invader? The last Najuan? Will we ever know? Does any one else care? Why couldn't Japanese artists draw video game people right???

What means NA?
Voted "they all suck". Tho the Japanese art is really cool but it is not resembles the game.
[EDIT] - oh, the North America? But why not US? I think it's more common to say US for the case of NES releases.

Because NA includes Canada as well, and they won't be happy if you leave them out.


As for me, the PAL/EU cover, because hey, armour girls XD

"State of the Art High Resolution Graphics", those were the days XD

looked like first person shooter (like duck hunt)




Alright, back on topic, my pick is still PAL version of the cover

I had always thought that the NA cover was going to be the last boss. It seemed a pretty novel, creepy thingy. The terrain doesn't directly reflect any of Naju either. But I still voted it cause the way it impacted me as a kid.

I'm torn. JP artistically above everything, but EU more pertinent to the game.
