| They're re-released games. Basically the Japanese equivalent of a 'Greatest Hits' type thing. Capcom has also released a few 'CapKore' titles for the DC. | |||

| And it's Dorikore, which stands for Dreamcast Collection (Dorimukasuto Korekushon). There's also Satkore which as you can guess was Saturn Collection. | |||

| man... I love the Japanese cover art... | |||

Here's a close up  ... and yes, it's unopened, the same goes for the two games under it.   | |||

| Hmm.. that's one case in which I think the American cover is better. | |||
|
MasterAkumaMatata | Jun 12, 2004 | ||
But there is no American version of that game. It was released exclusively in Japan. | ||||

| What? Zero 2 as opposed to Alpha 2? I didn't like the US Alpha covers that much. | |||

MasterAkumaMatata | Jun 12, 2004 | |
| It's called Street Fighter Zero 2' Saturn Collection. Yes, the cover for Street Fighter Alpha (U) looked like crap. Ryu didn't even look Japanese in that horrible cover. | |||

| I'm talking about the Alpha 2 cover, the one you have right underneath there. It's not the best cover in the world, but I don't really like the style of Zangief or Rolento on the Japanese 2' cover. And as for Ryu looking Japanese, well, he doesn't really look Japanese in the actual game either. | |||

| It's almost like a rule that North American games have to have crappy cover art, but the Street Fighter Alpha series on Saturn stands out as having some of the most drab, boring artwork of all time. This gives me an idea for a poll..... | |||

If you compare the covers for SFA2... and SFZ2..., you can see that they just used the art from the back cover of SFZ2... as the art for the cover of SFA2.... IMO, the cover for SFZ2... doesn't look that bad.
I think it's stylish. <!--QuoteBegin-i t290@Jun 12, 2004 @ 03:48 AM And as for Ryu looking Japanese, well, he doesn't really look Japanese in the actual game either.[/quote] What I meant to say was he looked like an idiot on the cover of SFA... compared to on the cover of I hope you didn't mean to include SFA2... in that statement. The painting of Ryu looking up at Akuma with Sakura in the background in betweem them is just beautiful. | ||||||||||

There's definitely chemistry between Ryu and Akuma in that cover, but it still didn't do anything for me. The colors are so boring. A cover needs to grab you by the nipples and give you a titty-twister of color. I can't even tell what the characters are thinking at that moment. You should be able to wipe the emotion off the characters faces with a moist towelette. What that looks like to me is two guys staring at each other with someone looking at them. NO PASSION whatsoever. | ||||

| What are you talking about? You can clearly see the passion burning in Akuma's eyes and in their teeth to a certain extent. I guess you're right, you just don't see it. In that cover art, imagine that Akuma thinks of Ryu as someone insignificant and thus looks down at Ryu similar to how Sagat looked down at Ryu during their encounter. Ryu doesn't like it and is all pissed as evident from that huge fist he's holding up to Akuma's face. :lol: From that, you can tell something is bound to happen. Akuma: (You dare ME?!) Ryu: I will revenge my master's death. Akuma: (You will follow him.) Akuma stares down at Ryu! Ryu shakes a [huge] fist! As for Sakura in the middle, I think they just put her there because she's a new character to the series. She's really not that important in that cover. | |||

| ryu looks dumb in the alpha 2 cover Akuma's eyes are a little overdone | |||

| Well, it's a good concept and all but, I just wasn't feeling it. Maybe if a better artist drew it.... | |||
|
MasterAkumaMatata | Jun 13, 2004 | ||
Yeah, and his head is too small as well if you consider that his fist and Akuma's head are normal size. | ||||
