Topic: Okami Boxart FAIL

never noticed that before - c'mon how stupid is that! - still a great game, though!

Welcome to 2008!

I no I am too late but I own that game since 2008 and never noticed that!

That's hilarious. Why would they do something like that?

It's not on my box (PAL).

I can't see anything in that picture. I grabbed my box, and there it was. =O I'm in the U.S., btw.

The UK box seems to have it.

I seem to remember them officially apologising and offering a free replacement cover.... I'm not sure if they are still doing it but.

wikis

apparently that offer has expired

Kotaku just keeping up with current events then.

I didn't think it was a big deal, but Capcom has several high-resolution replacement covers that you can print out and use if desired: http://www.capcom.com/artredemption/

**Edit: skywake beat me to posting the link, but it's still worth mentioning that all three covers are available for download from that location. The first two "alternate" covers are gorgeous, the third is just the same artwork without the IGN watermark.**

They were also supposed to send free copies to people who registered in time... mine never arrived, but it didn't seem worth fighting for. Having them online is a good enough compromise in my opinion.

Bahahahaha, Capcom fail. I've heard some of the editors on IGN talk about that in various articles, but I never understood what they were talking about. Thanks for the link. :walruscat:

Yeah they did a reprint and replacement artwork for those who wanted it. I got IGN logo on mine. Its old old news. Oh well it is still good for a laugh nearly 2 years later . At least if someone wanted to on that art redemption it might have expired but they left it up for anyone that wants to download any of the 3 covers available. I remember IGN joking that the edition with their logo on it would be worth a lot of money one day.

Now to find the photobucket watermark on the replacement

Um......why do we care again?

How come I don't have any on my box? I bought mine a year ago. Maybe they changed this back for the new copies.

I think that's old news

your about 2 years behind

I think it was great. I got a semi-rare crappy cover, and THREE awesome ones! Best mistake ever.

WOW....

I didn't notice it initially, but an issue of Game Informer pointed it out to me. It's quite funny.

BTW, you're a little late to writing this.
