Namco Bandai comments on Naruto Powerful Shippuden packaging error
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Namco Bandai will be moving ahead with the error found on Naruto Powerful Shippuden’s boxart. First print copies will feature the title “Nartuo Powerful Shippuden” on the spine – the game’s incorrect spelling.
If you’re one of the unlucky (or should we say lucky?) few with packaging blunder, you’ll be able to swap out the cover with a replacement through an online “printable replacement label”.
Namco Bandai has also confirmed that it will rectify the error for future pressings.
In a statement provided to Nintendo Everything, a Namco Bandai representative said:
“NAMCO BANDAI is aware of the labeling error for Naruto Powerful Shippuden. The spelling will be corrected for additional pressings of the game and we are currently working on an online solution to provide a printable replacement label for all our customers who would like to replace their box covers.”

Sakurai says his arm pains are worse than originally thought, and it’s impacting work on Smash Bros.

Last month we reported on some unfortunate muscle pains that were plaguing Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, but this month we have some even worse news: Doctors say the issue is more severe than originally thought, and he’ll have to cease using his right arm almost entirely in the coming weeks. Don’t take my word for it, though, here’s Sakurai himself explaining the issue in a weekly blog he writes for Famitsu:
“If this disorder lingers, or if it never gets fixed, there’s no telling what impact that would have on the project. I’ve had to control two characters at once in a lot of game projects up to now, so as long as I keep it to simple moves, this works well enough. It doesn’t go that easy with the Nintendo 3DS version, though, and the debug camera is pretty hard to control. Still, now I realize how important it is to have your health. I’m glad I’m still in good enough shape to work.”
– Kirby, Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai
Well… at least we know the 3DS version has a debug camera now! Best of luck to Sakurai, and I think I speak for a lot of folk when I say I hope he gets better both for Smash Bros. and for his own sake!
