Because Nintendo Hates us. Look at the crappy megaman Boxart we got, In fact, It scares me more than the SMB mario death sprite (Ok, Not really, But you get the point)

Broken link. Yeah, Japan usually gets better boxarts than Americans, but sometimes, we Europeans get the Japanese box art. Example: SPM.

Crackdown is an example of NA getting the better boxart. Cheap-o anime design didn't save Japan.

O RLY? Maybe it's because the boxart guys at Nintendo of America aren't as creative as the guys that make the boxart for Japan's releases...
