Check the mail: Okami covers finally ship

by Justin McElroy { Aug 27th 2008 at 10:30AM }

Just in time for you to have traded the game in three weeks ago, the replacement covers for the Wii version of Okami have finally shipped. If you can cast your minds back to late April, you'll recall when the video game blogging gods tricked Capcom into accidentally hiding the IGN logo on the box art for the game.

Though Capcom made quick work of announcing a fix, the replacement covers haven't been so speedy, but, thankfully, jilted fans should be receiving them any day now.

I wish I could have ordered one just to use it as a wall poster, because they are really cool.

I'm sure they'll be on eBay relatively cheap.

Wow.

Capcom> "We hope you're happy with your new case cover art sheet. Now we're all out of crayons. Ass."

Are the high-res pictures the same size as normal covers if you print them out? I wouldn't wait for them to deliver some paper to me, I'd just print out the covers.

Joystiq has mentioned this site before, and I think this would be a good place to mention it again.

Great site for covers for games, movies, anything that comes on a CD or DVD. So if you'd like something with a label on the spine, they've probably got you covered.

And there's also http://www.coverxp.com/ which will make printing out any covers (including the ones in the gallery above) easy. There's a tutorial at CDCovers.cc on using it if you need it.

Ha. I already eBayed it.

I got to get home!

I started playing Okami again the last week and I was wondering what happened to these.

Already sended to a friends printer to print a really big poster, but i'd like a scroll better

Is this just in the North American version? I tried looking for it in the UK box and can't see it.

beautiful

Did the UK covers have the IGN logo? I'm looking at mine and I can't see it.

That's funny, I just bought this game about two weeks ago.

Yeah, because that nigh-invisible IGN logo pissed me right off. And here I thought I was playing an awesome game! For shame, Capcom.

Man, but those new covers are entirely too kick-ass. I can't wait until they decide to make a sequel. And they WILL decide to make a sequel.
