Wipeout XL (aka Wipeout 2097)

Sony PlayStation JPN B2 1996

Japanese retail poster for Wipeout XL. Not for resale. First Japanese B2 poster discussed on The Poster Packrat's YouTube Channel. Discussed in this episode:

1.) Japanese poster sizing and their high standards for printing and paper products.

2.) The Poster Packrat's three pillars for perfect Video Game poster design/layout. First: Include art that well represents the game, Two: Include screenshots from the game, and Three: Include an image of the console, portable or game playback device the game is programed for. A controller or other peripheral can be a suitable replacement if the console isn't depicted.

3.) Differences between Western and Eastern markets for how products are usually presented. Western markets focus more on the product itself and less on 'testimonial' based advertising.

4.) Wipeout XL
