Capcom Forgets Spellcheck

Someone's getting fired....(Via)
One must question HOW this got through any kind of spot-check. Resident Evil: Revelations is the Resident Evil game coming out for 3DS. When Dan Hsu (Co-founder and editor of Bitmob & former editor-in-chief of Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)/former editorial director of The 1UP Network) received his advanced review copy he noticed something that is making every single member of the Art Department in the Capcom studios nervous; the game's spine had the title spelt wrong. It's not the first time Capcom has screwed up with cover mishaps however.

In 2008, the Wii re-release of featured a IGN watermark on the box art picture and only some months ago the Xbox 360 version of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition was incorrectly labelled with Xbox without the "360" part. Capcom should really start checking before going to print. It's unknown how many covers with the mistake spine have been sent out but I expect they'll be recalled/replaced soon enough with the eBay auctions soon following.
