Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles JP and PAL boxart jumps in through a window photo

Thanks to this post on NeoGAF, that gallery below now features the Japanese and European boxart for the upcoming Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. While the Euro cover sports the traditional Romero-esque slavering hordes of undead, the Japanese edition has a real John Hughes feel to it.

Sure, they could have included dozens of desiccated corpses, an army of demonic dogs or even eyeless crows fiendishly using sticks to unlock your car door only to steal a pack of smokes and the contents of your change holder, but instead they paste a shot of the Resident Evil cast above the text and hope none of us think too hard on the fact that this is our generation's Breakfast Club; a ragtag group of misfits drawn together to survive the horrors of Paul Gleason Albert Wesker.

I still don't understand why there isn't any RE2 goodness in here. Oh well, hope the US gets something like the European boxart too.

It's not too bad. Nothing really new but not bad.

Despite all of the odd choices Capcom has made with the game (It started off having the RE4 system which was scraped; no RE2 scenario), I'm still looking forward to it.

Oh, and Paul Gleason will be missed. ;_;

Grah... I want to ignore this game. But I love Wesker... And I want to know what happens with Umbrella falls.

I love how all the characters (besides Wesker) are just kind of -floating- there in the Japanese version of the boxart.

Why are the corpses being dried?

Are they being made into space food?

Thank god for diega, as I scrolled through the comments, I was worried that I would be the only one who got the rather awesome Breakfast Club reference.
