Alright, I think it's time I weighed in on this. I'm in favor of keeping box-art up. First, box art is one of the most common images that is shown when discussing a game. It is clear what it refers to, and often it is immediately recognizable as being important to the game. Second, the argument that other wikis have box-art is exactly the reason we should as well. Box art is a simple thing that we can show, and while many things don't need to be on this wiki, simple ones such as publishing year and box art could stay for completeness. We could link people to other wikis, but why do this for such simple things that take up little to no code or space. Every time we link someone to another wiki, we risk them becoming more interested in editing that wiki then ours. Third, keeping the box art up on masterpieces fits the idea of the wiki and the games. Super Smash Bros. is, in many ways, a mini history of (Nintendo) video games. The masterpieces serve to show some of the games that the characters in the games came from. Someone who had never played these games before but became interested in them because of the masterpieces might very well be interested in the box art. Now, we could easily link them to wikipedia, et. al. but to what end? There were many things on this wiki that needed to be pruned down, but if we're going to have pages about the masterpieces (which we should), them not having box art is just silly.
