A few grammatical errors spotted in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Random | 5 Comments
Update: Bumped to the front page – two more errors have been found.
Capcom has been known for making some rather strange errors over the years. Perhaps most infamous was the Okami Wii boxart incident, in which the game’s cover sported an IGN logo. We’ve also seen a number of prominent spelling errors like “Resident Evil: Revelaitons” – another boxart situation.
But it doesn’t stop there! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies has a few errors of its own. At least three have been spotted so far. You can find them all in the gallery above.
