| Okami box art with IGN logo |
If you picked up
Okami for Wii, go check the box right now. Look closely right next to the wolf's mouth on the front. See that round symbol there? It's actually a watermark used by gaming news site IGN to tag the screenshots it posts! Apparently, a graphic designer who probably no longer works for Capcom used a game image from the IGN site as a placeholder and didn't remember to go back and replace it (or perhaps he or she was a disgruntled temp who could care less). Either way, the tainted cover art was mass produced and published. Now Capcom has begun to print new covers and is offering a
free replacement to anyone who requests it. The best part is that you can choose from three designs: the newly revised IGN-less box art, or one of two wraparound images devoid of marketing copy. It looks like it's "scout's honor" that you actually bought the game - so if your PS2 version could use some dressing up, the only thing stopping you is your morality...
