Last time, we pitted two covers for the NES’ Urban Champion against each other and after a weekend of voting, it was North America that came up with the win. The classic pixel art cover took 59% of the vote, while Europe and Japan’s colourful alternative was left with the remaining 41%.

This week, we’re jumping from brawlin’ to pinballin’ as we look at two regional covers for Kirby’s Pinball Land. Originally released on the Game Boy in 1993, the pink puffball’s pinball adventure wasn’t quite the match made in Dream Land that might expect, but it did go on to spawn the excellent Pokémon Pinball (which used the same engine) on GBC so we can be thankful for that.
