Over the last few days, I've noticed not one but two recent games that have glaring errors in their box text:

Sonic Rush (DS) - "...Includes wireless play and new a mysterious female companion..."

Samurai Shodown (Xbox) - "...Power up the Rage Guage..."

You would think they'd check for this sort of thing. LOL Has anyone else encountered something like this?

I remember there was some engrish on the back of the Paper Mario box for N64.

The description on Fatal Fury says its a 46 meg game. Yet the spine says 55megs...

Ah right, it was engrish, it was "plotsto"

Gungriffon: Allied Strike for the XB had some bad engrish in the opening mission of the game. On the first or second window describing your mission in the level (once in the level, not before it starts) there was a glaring misspelling. One would think that they'd check the spelling before getting it out the door, and on the first level no less. LOL

I think Trapt's box has some, and realistically, shouldn't we all be expecting at least some Engrish on Capcom (and especially) SNK boxes by now?

The back of the Ocarina of Time's box mis-spells "environments"...

If you look on the spine of the dire Cube game 'Speed Challenge - Jacques Villeneuve's Racing Vision', Challenge is actually spelled 'Challange'.
