People buying games based on Box Art is why the Master System stood no chance against the NES in the US.

Re: Did you ever buy a game solely for its box art?
Anyone from So-Cal remember Fedco? One of the last NES games my folks bought for me was SMB3 - I'm so fond of that memory simply because the boxart literally popped off the shelf compared to the other games. It's so iconic; the ONLY surviving boxed NES game from my childhood ... wish I still had the manual, though
