Does anyone remember the late 80s, early 90s US Gold boxart for games like Forgotten Worlds and Vigilante? I almost have trouble sleeping at night knowing that someone actually got paid for those ill-proportioned, inartistic scrawlings. A true injustice.
Western box art renderings generally tend to reflect the western gaming obsession with realism. As such the Bomberman and Mega Man artists were more interested in 'realistic' portrayals if the game over stylish graphic design.

The one I hated most was the Street Fighter Alpha case. Gone was the gorgeous Japanese art on the cover showing a painted Ryu and Ken with the wicked logo, gone was the manual full of stunning art as well as Super Deformed cartoons.
Instead we get THE WORST drawings of the Streetfighter characters yet. Ken looks like he's just had something rammed up his batty, M Bison (Vega) looks like Slimer from Ghostbusters and Chun Li looks like a man.
Opening it up and you get a nice black and white manual with all the artwork removed.
Well done.
