Okami box art with IGN logo

If you picked up Okami for Wii, go check the box right now. Look closely right next to the wolf's mouth on the front. See that round symbol there? It's actually a watermark used by gaming news site IGN to tag the screenshots it posts! Apparently, a graphic designer who probably no longer works for Capcom used a game image from the IGN site as a placeholder and didn't remember to go back and replace it (or perhaps he or she was a disgruntled temp who could care less). Either way, the tainted cover art was mass produced and published. Now Capcom has begun to print new covers and is offering a free replacement to anyone who requests it. The best part is that you can choose from three designs: the newly revised IGN-less box art, or one of two wraparound images devoid of marketing copy. It looks like it's "scout's honor" that you actually bought the game - so if your PS2 version could use some dressing up, the only thing stopping you is your morality...
