Best boxart ever: My Weight Loss Coach DS

Best boxart ever: My Weight Loss Coach DS photo
     The almighty dollar

Of course, it's human nature to click a link entitled "stupidest f*cking box art ever", but since everyone's opinion differs, who can say if I would agree? I wasn't disappointed once I got to the source and saw My Weight Loss Coach DS, which has one other feature sure to turn your WTF icon to blink status: its $40 price tag. Considering that only Final Fantasy titles usually sport that price and that My Weight Loss Coach features stick figures that teach you how to lose weight, somehow the difference seems significant and a little laughable. I'm just saying.

At any rate, the game comes packaged with a pedometer and looks to be aimed at the same type of consumers that are buying Wii Fit. I'm not going to straight-out judge anything that is intended to aid people with keeping healthy, but that box art hurts my face. If you want to see more screens, head over to DS Fanboy's gallery and peep (warning: your face may hurt too after looking at thirty some-odd screens of stick figures.)

[Thanks, Gynecologist Cobra!]

Still better than Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow's boxart. And I'm talking about the "Konami's Best" version :S.

I think it's pretty straight to the point.

That is the best box art ever Retro is in.

It is like the sega master system covers.

Maybe I'm turning into a soccer mom, but I kind of like it.

It's comforting in a Hitchhiker's Guide, "Don't Panic!" sort of way.

Your goal is to become as skinny as the model on the box.

tons of fat kids will be shaking their DS' like they did with the pikachu pedometer, so that you got the points to gamble and win things and be mean to him.

anyone else have the dumb pikachu tamagotchi type thing with built in pedometer?

I hate boxart that prominently features main characters. This pleases me because it goes against all conventions of boxart design.

I might get this because I like the idea of having a fitness coach that I only have to pay once.

Also, because I like video games.

It's simple, to the point, and retarded. Perfect.

I don't know, I still think there are some that could give this a run for its money:

20 bucks says that the spine is completely fancy and long drawn out, just to spite us.
