Capcom has commented on the boxart situation surrounding Resident Evil: Revelations. The company has acknowledged the mistake and implied that only some copies contain the error.

Capcom’s Corporate Officer/Senior Vice-President Christian Svensson said that the typo “has affected a portion of the product run.”

An editor over at Bitmob received a review copy of the title earlier today, and noticed that “Revelations” was spelled incorrectly. The spine of the box has the subtitle written as “Revelaitons”.

This is Capcom’s second boxart blunder on a Nintendo system in recent years. Following the release of Okami on Wii, fans spotted an IGN watermark on the packfront.

It appears that Capcom has incorrectly spelled “Revelations” on the Resident Evil: Revelations boxart. Bitmob’s Dan Hsu received the game today and quickly noticed the error.

Here’s a photo of the box:


Well, Capcom is no stranger to boxart screwups. Remember the IGN watermark on the Okami packfront?

Rumors about the Wii U have been in full force these past few weeks, and we’re still months away from E3.

CVG is reporting today that Nintendo is considering changing the console’s name. The site states that “serious discussions are ongoing at the highest level in the US and Japan as to whether the firm should cut its losses and give the console a different name.”

There was quite a bit of uncertainty last year when Nintendo first revealed Wii U. Some were under the impression that Nintendo was simply creating a new controller for their current home system and weren’t planning on launching a new piece of hardware.

Likewise, there has been confusion about the 3DS. The company has been placing red box stickers on game boxes to show that the software is for a new handheld and isn’t compatible with the DS. A tagline has also been added to TV spots: “This is not DS. This is Nintendo 3DS.”

Perhaps Nintendo will be looking to avoid another round of confusion with Wii U. The name is obviously extremely similar to Wii, and the two consoles maintain similar appearances.
