Uh-Ohkami: Capcom botches Okami Wii box art, inadvertently advertises IGN [Joystiq]

[dao2]

If Capcom lied, that's wrong.

However, is getting a replacement cover really that big a deal? It's not like the discs were defective.

it's real dick to say that they've sent them and get our hopes up when really they ditched hoping we forget

At least say that your not going to anymore.

strange I was wondering why I never got it.

I guess Capcom was planning on doing this but scrapped it after wasting everyone's time.

Okami didn't bring in near enough sales as they wanted so they basically abandoned anything that cost them money over it.

It's a sad day when something sells as well as Okami did and it's still considered a failure, but considering how grossly over budget they let the game run...well, I guess it's understandable. At least the Wii version was done on the cheap and they're pulling in extra money from rereleasing the PS2 version under the Greatest Hits line.

If the Wii version of Okami had been released at $29.99, I think it would've sold far better. I feel the same way about Boom Blox and de Blob, too. It's not like these games are Super Mario Galaxy or Metal Gear Solid IV. $40 or $50 for puzzle games and ports of old PS2 games is a little much. $30...perfect.

Strongly agree. $30 seems like the perfect price point for games of this type since it's low enough that if you happen to already own the game on another console, you might actually pick it up on the Wii to take advantage of the different controls.

Fully agree as well, I will NOT pay 50.00 for Boom Blox despite the fact that I really want it. A puzzle game for 50.00 just seems absurd in this day and age.

Hmm, perhaps we spoke too soon...
