Who will claim victory?

WAH! Greetings to this week’s edition of Box Art Brawl!
Last time, we compared two designs for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the 3DS, with Europe and North America facing off against Japan. After a week of voting, it was the Western version that emerged victorious, capturing 63% of the votes compared to the Japanese version’s 37%.
But now, onto this week’s competition. Nintendo launched Wario Land 3 for the Game Boy Color in 2000 as the third installment in the fast-paced platforming Mario spin-off series. While it may not have received the same level of adoration as its GBA successor, this musical box-themed adventure upheld the franchise’s signature thrilling gameplay just one year prior to the GBA revitalizing the handheld market.
