Welcome back, one and all, to this week's edition of Box Art Brawl !

It was the NSO newbie Fatal Fury Special that got put under the microscope last time , as we matched up two covers for this SNES brawler. Overall, it was a pretty one-sided fight. The colourful Japanese variant walked away with 68% of the vote, leaving the North American design with 32%.

This week, with Pokémon fever in the air, we're taking a look at the series' oft-forgotten spin-off, Hey You, Pikachu! . You remember this one, right? It's the N64 game with the microphone where you develop a close bond with Pikachu by repeatedly shouting rudimentary commands into the little yellow plastic sphere. Okay, it rarely worked, and it's hardly a classic, but it's got some regional variety in its box art.
