Title: Replacement Okami Covers Now Shipping
Post by: Nick DiMola on August 25, 2008, 06:32:40 AM

After interruptions from a variety of "elite ninja assassins," Capcom will now be shipping out the covers as promised with an extra bonus for the patient fans.

 According to Capcom's Colin Ferris, the replacement covers for Okami Wii are finally shipping out. Due to an IGN watermark on the original cover, Capcom offered a replacement program for those with the tainted cover art. In an effort to appease the fans, Capcom offered a basic replacement of the standard cover art, but also offered two new unique covers.    

Due to many fans bypassing the standard system in an effort to receive all three pieces of cover art, Capcom has decided to award all unique entries into the system with two pieces of cover art. The standard replacement cover art is now shipping along with a second reversible cover art with both of the other offered designs.    

Confirmation emails have not been sent out, but if you already filled out the form, Capcom will be sending one to each household that applied. If you need extra covers, head to Capcom's cover art replacement page and you can download the cover art to print either from your own computer or from a third party printer.

About time. Nice to see Capcom giving everyone the whole kit and caboodle.

I almost forgot about this. Well, okay, not really since everytime I happen upon an Okami box I check for that IGN watermark.

Yes!  I was torn between the simple replacement and one of the prettier ones, but couldn't justify trying to cheat the system when Capcom was being so trusting.  Honesty is the best policy after all.

Edit:  The source posting says something slightly different:

Each cover sheet features the cleaned cover art on one side, and the two different new designs on the other.

That isn't quite as exciting.  In fact, if I'm reading that right, this is a bit of a letdown.
