Japanese box for Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance. Not bad, even if Riku’s fingers look like someone slammed a door on them. I always have trouble drawing hands, too.

As was the case in Europe, Nintendo is asking fans what artwork they want to see for this Wii RPG’s reversible cover — most of the options are different from what our friends across the Atlantic chose from.
We are fast becoming the leading site reporting news about “stuff that companies are putting on their game boxes.” Soon, you won’t even see Tiny’s face on our site — we’ll instead feature images of the case he came in.

While we get these four inserts in the U.S., the Japanese version of the 18-cart holder comes with three random slips pulled from a wider selection that includes our covers and the ones above. Dat Pikmin cover.

With less than two months before the hostess club adventure’s Japanese release, Level-5 appears to have changed the style for character faces dramatically. Also, she’s wearing gloves now, but that’s a different kind of drama.
Strangely, all the screens and trailers on the official site use the original, cuter style, so … maybe it’s just for the boxart? Why make the box less visually consistent with the game? And why change from a totally adooooorable face to one that is maybe just a little creepy?

Bloody inside cover for Resident Evil: Revelations in Portugal. For a second, I thought this was the first third-party game to feature inside art on the slip, but then I remembered that Nintendo is co-distributing this in Europe, and even bundling it with a Circle Pad Pro, so I guess that’s why this release gets the special treatment.
By the way, have you guys all downloaded the Resident Evil: Revelations demo from the eShop yet? What do you think? I’m still waiting for the file to download on my 3DS.
If that demo wasn’t enough to satiate you, here’s a new five-minute trailer and some new bullshots.

Oh, and you know that goofy stand accessory, the one that’s coming bundled with Uprising in Japan because Sakurai designed a game that plays janky without it (according to what I’ve heard from people who’ve played early builds)? Nintendo revealed to Shacknews that they will come with each copy in the U.S., too.

Two eyes in the dark, one cartridge circles. Like most first-party 3DS releases in Japan lately, Ghost Camera gets a special inside cover for its eco-friendly boxes. In this case (literally, hurhur), it’s some creepy eyes — maybe Iwata’s?
The purple booklet here looks quite nice. As demonstrated in the videos we’ve previously posted, you use it for a lot of the game’s spooky augmented reality stuff.
It’s almost certain that we won’t get the inside art. Considering that Fatal Frame 4 never released here, we would be lucky if this released Stateside at all! :o(

U.S. box for Metal Gear Solid 3D: Snake Eater (click for a larger image), which releases here on February 21 — two weeks before the Japanese and European ship date.
This enhanced port of the PS2 game includes support for the Circle Pad Pro, which debuts in North America on February 7 alongside Resident Evil: Revelations. And in case you missed this related news, Nintendo’s own Kid Icarus: Uprising will also have a control option for the accessory when it hits stores on March 23.

Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy’s Japanese boxart. Very nice!
I’m certain Square Enix will be fighting an uphill battle trying to convince gamers to pay full price on this instead of waiting for the inevitable iOS port — not knocking the quality/content of the title, just the easy adaptability of its concept/touchscreen controls for iPhones.
That said, videos for the Japanese demo are popping up (hey, Nintendo of America, where are our eShop demos?!), and it looks tight: here’s the best demonstration video I’ve seen so far. Theatrhythm ships in Japan on February 16. No announcement for a U.S. release yet!

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D’s Japanese boxart. As usual, the black sidebar on the Japanese release makes the boxart look a lot cooler than the American box will.
Retailer GMStar offers some info about supposed new additions to the 3DS remake of Snake Eater, including the ability to walk while crouching, and some kind of expanded FPS mode. Maybe you can play in first-person all the time?
I hope these features mean there is still work being done on Snake Eater 3D. I just finished the HD port over the weekend, and playing that version makes my heart break even more when I remember what the 3DS game was like at E3.

Rhythm Heaven Fever boxart. There will be absolutely no chance of you missing this one on the shelf, even from outside the store. People will drive by your house, then call later and ask how Rhythm Heaven Fever is.
I’m happy to report that GOTY 2012 is now available for preorder, due for release February 13.
