Wouldn't Nintendo be responsible as publisher? Or am I way off? Either way, I'm sure someone got fired! :lol:

The Mega Man cover is a hilarious classic. I knew it was bad as a kid. It looks like a sad piece of fan art. I don't know how it ever got released.

Waaayyy off, Nintendo licensed Capcom to publish games on the Wii, but Capcom is a neutral third party and responsible for it's own actions.

I'm surprised that the author didn't mention the soccer player on the right (in FIFA) that looks like he could be masturbating. I mean, seriously... look at his right hand!

Let me guess: that's an early 90's PC game, not particularly fun, and worth about $5.

Actually you can blame Namco for the game (and they put in on Namco Museum 5 for some reason) and just Blame US Gold for that craptacular cover. Though the cover is true to the game amazingly enough.
