Seeing these horrible covers makes me no longer underestimate how important they can be in getting someone to buy (or not buy) a product. Same goes for movie posters, book covers, album covers etc.
I never knew that thing existed, now I'm going to thank you every day at every morning from now on, you have just made the best half of an hour in my entire life, that art box is so fucking stupid I can't with it.
A bit late to add onto this, but I find it hilarious how Coney encountered the exact same scenario that dunkey mentioned regarding bust a move & bust a groove
The reason the RBI wins is because of the time era from where it’s from. I would say that killer Kong and Toki are crazier boxes, but back then all the boxes where crazy. It’s a special kind of bad when you are still as bad as that RBI box was during the ps4 generation where other boxes from the generation are at least decent.
Tbh all game box art usually sucks now I honestly think RBI is actually good because of how stupid it looks its something different and even if it's bad I like it.
I was thinking that the issue with the castlevania box was that, ya know, anime and coney hates anime! BUT THE SECOND HE SHOWED THAT IT WASN'T JUST A BADLY EDITED JPG I LOST MY MIND WTF!
Fun fact: Pac-Man 2’s box art is actually a 2-parter based on your region! If you live in PAL regions, Pac-Man’s about to take off with the hang glider, and in the NTSC regions he’s already taking off while screaming in the process.
I didn’t say this on stream, but the “current champ” addition is a very nice touch. Helps make WheelChamp its own thing. And I love how chat was spamming COGGERS in the intro. 🤣
Wheel champ is my favorite show, it's so innovative, it interacts with fans, it has a different theme every time, gives me a react wars vibe but with a more modern and different tint.
video game boxart is a underrated thing when you buy a game, i love how they can represent what a game is and what to expect when you play it… i doubt any of these falls under that criteria.
The flaw of comparing new contestants to a current wheelchamp is that recency-bias is gonna screw over anyone who's considered towards the start. l like the coloring-system better, that gives the top tier candidates a fairer shake to win :]
@@robinthefool8960 Coney would honestly make for a great conman, and l dont even mean that as an insult. l could imagine coney in the dark ages trying to sell water as some kind of mythical syrup with the exact same demeanor and big smile as he uses when he talks to youtube-viewers lmao
I love how Russel Grant's Astrology has Frutiger Aero bubbles. They have the linear gradient fades on the shine marks and everything. Absolutely amazing
In the 70s and 80s anyone could make a game and burn it onto a floppy or cassette (yes you read that, cassette) and then get their friend with the minimal amount of art skill to draw a cover, thats where some of these come from.
Ain’t nothin wrong with wheelchamp feeling a bit like React Wars! I love both series, and I think wheelchamp’s prompts are so much more unique even if thematically they’re similar
The fact that so many people in chat didn't understand the problem with the castlevania box art is insane to me. That shit was funny as hell to me instantly
Wheel champ is the best show on the internet for sure, farming us for content was the best decision Coney had. Even though there could only be one winner, all of the candidates were bangers in this video.
The reason castlevania is baf is because it’s a ds box with a picture of a ds box but of course you explain it in the video and therefore I am not redeemed for being a youtube frog
Coney on the _Mystical Ninja_ boxart: "America hates when things are cute! Make that kid ugly as hell!" You know? I think this is comparatively the cutest NA boxart of its kind... Usually they give the characters more realistic proportions, but these guys are still chibi-ish, with cartoony faces as well. Goemon is the only one who could be called "manly-looking," everyone else is just hyper-rendered.
Hold up. "Cheggers is famous in Britain" I'm English and I've never heard of this bloke and I'm like the same age as Coney so not like I'm just too young lol. Maybe I'm too old...
I don't think this system works very well. it favors the images that come later because you grow bored of the current champ. I think a different thing would have won if we used the other system
I'm still shocked that Coney is literally the guy Dunkey talked about who asked for Bust a Move for their birthday and got Bust a Groove instead because the box art for both games have nothing to do with their content
Yeah, that's like the "Greatest Hits" version. It says "Konami's Best - Play it!" at the top. Kinda like how for PS1 games they'd turn the black label green, or Gamecube games had a yellow "Player's Choice" thing under the main Gamecube banner, but... y'know, way worse.
I agree the PS2 Era was the best. So many insane games from so many developers that you'd never see in a game today. It's how I found the game war of the monsters which was my favorite ps2 game of all time
I’m glad that the UA-cam audience understood the scuffed box within a box instantly!
Yeah idk how people didn't see that. Shit's really funny tho
Every time I see it it's like, "What's wrong with that? Yeah it's anime but-"
And then I see it and I die
amen brother , to be honest they wanted to distract people from the generic anime artstyle compared to Ayami Kojima´s gems
nahh i literally didn't notice until he pulled up the second photo lmao

Funny seeing you here
@@munchlacks2900 Funny seeing YOU here

I was the guy who submitted RBI! I'm really shocked to have won, and I'm honestly (pleasantly) surprised that nobody else submitted it!
When I first saw it, I also didn't expect it to win, but it was definitely my favorite
imma let u finish but kong should have won it's hysterical
@@Plokijuh1229 Kong had the funniest box art of all time!
@@fan.of.nintendo no rbi then the japanese one
I never knew that thing existed, now I'm going to thank you every day at every morning from now on, you have just made the best half of an hour in my entire life, that art box is so fucking stupid I can't with it.
The two seconds of anticipation after clicking a link straight into Coney's consistent burst of laughter is a dopamine hit every time
I had to wait 30 seconds for my ads :(

But it wasn't even funny, I genuinely don't know what was so bad abt it.
@@mrbruh1916 the fact the dude looks so fucking bored killed me lol
You know that the four people that submitted Russel Grant's Astology right away were fellow Dunkey fans.
Coney's dad even fell for the Bust-a-Move thing that Dunkey talks about in the video, wow!
I was thinking that the issue with the castlevania box was that, ya know, anime and coney hates anime!
BUT THE SECOND HE SHOWED THAT IT WASN'T JUST A BADLY EDITED JPG I LOST MY MIND WTF!
Oh shit I just noticed that the box is on the fucking box
Same I have the version with just the box art not the game box as the art box and was really confused
@@drhody4229 the boxart shown was from a budget title version of the game (like nintendo selects or playstation platinums)

It’s cause coney is such an amazing content creator. Like he’s really good at streaming
Its Paul Allen's favorite show
Being called a fan of a streamer, youtuber or music artist is a huge insult tbh.

Should have all the ones that were current champs be put in a list or highlighted a color, to compare the previous with the current at the end?
That's what I was thinking
It's a coney show, a fair contest is impossible
@@robinthefool8960 Coney would honestly make for a great conman, and l dont even mean that as an insult. l could imagine coney in the dark ages trying to sell water as some kind of mythical syrup with the exact same demeanor and big smile as he uses when he talks to youtube-viewers lmao
13:06
Coney: Dad can we get “bust a groove?”
Coney’s dad: No we have “bust a groove” at home.
Bust a groove at home:
What makes it funnier is this game really is called Bust A Move in Japan.
I love how Russel Grant's Astrology has Frutiger Aero bubbles. They have the linear gradient fades on the shine marks and everything. Absolutely amazing
As soon as I saw 16:18 and heard Conifer wonder how to pronounce that I was like "Wait until he finds out that Ł actually makes a W sound"
23:57 I know I'm late to the party, but someone needs to edit Killer Kong's face in the RBI Baseball cover's pose.
Love how coney has different shows/segments, each of them are very simple but so good in their own right
15:00 fukboi coney was not something I was expecting but it absolutely killed me
In the 70s and 80s anyone could make a game and burn it onto a floppy or cassette (yes you read that, cassette) and then get their friend with the minimal amount of art skill to draw a cover, thats where some of these come from.
One of the options should be “get the Wheelchamp”
Ain’t nothin wrong with wheelchamp feeling a bit like React Wars! I love both series, and I think wheelchamp’s prompts are so much more unique even if thematically they’re similar
Gotta love games where you can tell from the box art that they are simply built different
The fact that so many people in chat didn't understand the problem with the castlevania box art is insane to me. That shit was funny as hell to me instantly
10:37 The ever so reliable royal guards of Agrabah chasing the vile thief boy and pet
7:56 It's box art of box art
That'd be a funny gag for a publisher or franchise to do.
I remember seeing that castlevania DoS box art at a GameStop once. Very funny
The first and only time I’ve ever bought bits in 6 years was to get more votes for RBI. That stream went crazy #RBISweep
5:01
1. Throw ball
2. Fight for ball
3. Dragon
Is it weird that I like the concept of Ninja Golf? It's wacky sure but it honestly looks like a kinda neat mashup.
It gives me TMNT or Shadow Man from Mega Man vibes, just a whole bunch of crazy sh¡t mashed together with ninjas that is somehow still cool as Hell
I'm still recoiling from the Ninja holding a Scimitar
It's a picture of the box art on the box, ON THE BOX!
12:19 this is at a store in my local mall and I was gunna get it till I saw the cover
ITS A GAME PNG INSIDE A GAME PNG CONEY
Wheel champ is the best show on the internet for sure, farming us for content was the best decision Coney had. Even though there could only be one winner, all of the candidates were bangers in this video.
How anyone let that weird double box art on Castlevania go through is ASTOUNDING
thats like when you order a mug on wish and instead of the design that you thought you were ordering, you get a mug with the picture of the mug on it
The reason castlevania is baf is because it’s a ds box with a picture of a ds box but of course you explain it in the video and therefore I am not redeemed for being a youtube frog
lmao I also didn't notice the aria of sorrow thing, I thought it was just the anime style, so funny to see the box in hand
The Castlevania one is bad because instead of just having the art as the cover of the game, it has a picture of the game as the cover.
Context was badly needed for this one, it would had been an ok cover if it were the actual cover.
What happened there
I'm gonna get the Dinos for Hire box art tattooed across my entire back.
current champ format is so smart but i feel that it might allow a rock paper scissors type beat
I liked that he put it to a poll at the end tbh. Maybe the final champ should get a bye for the first round of voting.
That Dawn of Sorrow cover looks fine.
Oh.
_Ohhhh._
they put a picture of some fucking box art AS THE NEW BOXART. hilarious
The cover for killer kong is BY FAR the funniest thing I have ever laughed at all year.
2:29 that yellow one on the right looks like the lovechild of Guile from Street Fighter and Pac-Man haha
2:40 that one
The castle vania made so much more sense when you zoomed out😂
Wheelchamp is officially my favorite tv show
for anyone that didnt notice, the boxart for dawn of sorrows is a picture of a different box
Box art inside box art
I remember seeing that basketball destroying a hoop in every magazine I bought for a looong time.
I remember actually going to play Ninja Golf (and dragging a friend with me) because of this video lmao
Watching this while I build my new desk that I got for my birthday made the experience less tedious

Coney changes his thumbnail and title the most I swear.
this was a great prompt and a great new format
When you showed Dawn of Sorrow i said to myself "it's not the Castlevania artstyle i'm used to but it's not horrible". Then you showed a physical box
The Konami one cracks me up, like WHY DOES IT NEED TWO NINTENDO DS LOGOS.
It's so sad being a UA-cam frog now. Having a new job and being Bri'ish means I'm never awake for the streams anymore Sadge
The skate board one killed me 😂
Hold up.
"Cheggers is famous in Britain" I'm English and I've never heard of this bloke and I'm like the same age as Coney so not like I'm just too young lol. Maybe I'm too old...
@@PrincessMatrix Ohhh I didn't think he was that old haha, cheers for the info.
Deep Silver made Russel Grant's Astrology? Woah.
Japanese box art looks like my dad giving directions
My favorite game box art is Phalanx, this a snes sci fi airplane shooter. The box art is an old man with a banjo. Its amazing.
I don't think this system works very well. it favors the images that come later because you grow bored of the current champ. I think a different thing would have won if we used the other system
i had no clue what was wrong with the castlevania one until after like 5 minutes of staring
90s Japanese box art: average children's cartoon
90s American version of box art: KYOCAINE
I'm still shocked that Coney is literally the guy Dunkey talked about who asked for Bust a Move for their birthday and got Bust a Groove instead because the box art for both games have nothing to do with their content
15:01 coney is simping
16:21 That looks like an ai generated Godzilla
Okay but Ninja Golf looks fun as hell
Hey look I'm in a coney video for russel grants astrology
Every time i hear “Bust a groove” i immediately think of the Kitty N song
I actually remember that basketball biting the net
Can someone help me figure out the name of the track that plays from 1:17 - 5:48? I can't seem to find it anywhere
Mario strikers classroom ost
@@robinreinders7270 Omg thank you so much!!!
I'm shocked that no one submitted the US Phalanx art.
Box art of box art on the box art is the best box art

17:40 song?
I’ve heard it so many times but I don’t know where it’s from

Virtual Chess 64 actually taught me chess lmao. I always found it so funny
got called a youtube frog and just started watching him
Does anyone know the music that plays at 21:12? I swear I've heard it before but I can't remember where.
That is from Wii Sports baseball home run contest
did the dawn of sorrow art on the box exist before being stuck inside the other box art?
Yeah, that's like the "Greatest Hits" version. It says "Konami's Best - Play it!" at the top.
Kinda like how for PS1 games they'd turn the black label green, or Gamecube games had a yellow "Player's Choice" thing under the main Gamecube banner, but... y'know, way worse.
Hi Coney I love your videos and your commentating I watched your videos with my girlfriend and she laughed too❤😂
Real comment
Lmao that box art in box art.
Does anyone know the name of the music that starts playing at 1:17? Been trying to find it for a while but no luck :/
Did you ever find out?
@MilkFromAGlass It's The Classroom stage theme from Mario Strikers Charged.

7:52 it is bad BECAUSE IT SHOWS A BOX IN A BOX
Monkey will always be the winner in my heart
everyone just took box art from that one dunkey video
And I love the way its ranked
Whoever designed the box art for Goemon's game deserved to get fired. I hope they never went back to making box art for future games.
