Mutation Nation by SNK - Cover Review

I've always wondered what MC Hammer was thinking with his ridiculous haircuts and terrible style ... and now I know that it's all because he was a mutant. I guess this would explain Dee Jay from the Street Fighter II series as well. But it doesn't explain Milli Vanilli, nothing can explain that. Buh buh buh buh/Buh buh buh buh, Baby don't forget that this cover really sucks; it's one of the worst Neo Geo boxes I've ever seen. But compared to all the other games on this list (Kong, Ultimate Duck Hunting, etc.) it actually looks pretty good. But I'm never going to forgive it for making it sing Milli Vanilli while trying to write a serious review.

The problem I have with this cover is that there's only one guy on this entire cover that looks like he's ready to fight the Mutation Nation, and that's the dude with the weird cape and horns at the very top of the box. Everybody else looks like they're awkwardly auditioning for a high school musical, and not in a super popular Disney Channel sort of way. The guy at the front of the box looks like he's going to fall over when he kicks; either that or his pants are going to split right down the middle. And then there's the really big head that has no pupils. How is this guy going to be helpful if he can't see anything? Thankfully there's a busty woman who looks ready to fight, hopefully she can use her four arms (not forearms, but four arms) to battle the enemy hordes of the Mutation Nation. I guess that just leaves us with Horny and MC Hammer. Now that I think about it, Horny and MC Hammer is actually a pretty good name for a game, a whole heck of a lot better than Mutation Nation. From now on I am just going to call this game Horny and MC Hammer, deal with it.
