History
The Bad Box Art Mega Man, also known as U.S. Mega Man in Japan, is the name given to the rendition of Mega Man on the North American box art from the first Mega Man video game. The reason his design turned out the way it did is because the artist asked to create the cover art had little-to-no time before the game was released and had never seen any of the source material or seen the game, thus creating a cover that almost had nothing to do with the game. It is renowned as one of the worst box art covers in video game history
