You guys have got to check out Nintendo Life's latest Box Art Brawl — they just ran an insane matchup on Rhythm Heaven Fever's three regional covers and the results are wild! The North American design won by a massive margin at 72% of the vote, leaving Europe trailing behind with only 15% and Japan sitting at 13%. I mean, NA really carried that one — 72% is huge. They also had another NSO expansion drop this week so they're already on to Fortified Zone as a two-cover showdown. That makes the matchup much tighter than Rhythm Heaven because there are only two contenders instead of three.
Fortified Zone itself is such a bizarre and cool mix — it's Jaleco's top-down shooter that feels like half Commando fused with The Legend of Zelda, which is just classic weird Nintendo fusion! You want to know why this one is particularly interesting: the game was already an NSO addition and now it gets its own duel feature. This means two competing covers are pitted against each other in a head-to-head fight rather than a three-way split like Rhythm Heaven had. If you can't decide which box art wins, you should check out their full review of Fortified Zone on the Nintendo Life site. It would help explain why this matchup is even more interesting — the game itself has such a unique identity.
