[jorgeton]

Wow. Bravo Capcpom. They have to be in on the joke at this point. Right?

Right?

 

[LiK]

Kotaku just called cvxfreak a Gamefaqs user, lol

haha, well, he did find it there. XD

 

[Wario64]

haha, well, he did find it there. XD

I misread it, says Twitter user, too early in the morning for me :|

 

[Peff]

Quick combos!

 

[polyh3dron]

This all makes me wonder whether Capcom is THAT slack when it comes to proofreading or whether we are just fishing for examples that happen to be from Capcom games. It really does seem to be the case that they have the most box-art fuck-ups, but in-game stuff probably isn't worse than the average publisher. Surely?

Have you ever seen another company spell its own name wrong? Or the actual title of one of its games right on the case art for said game?

 

[Myomoto]

Quick combos!

I love me some comos in my fighting games!

 

[Shadow Hog]

Quick combos!

¿Comos estas?

Almost makes me wish I spoke more than just English.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

this is all Ono's doing, isn't it?

I can just see him laughing hysterically every time one of these gems are discovered.

George Broussard of 3D Realms fame wrote his own name wrong... in his own game:

 

[BurntPork]

Quick combos!

:| Okay this isn't even funny anymore.

Spoiler

It's still funny.

 

[secretanchitman]

the re6 one seriously has to be capcpom trolling us at this point...unbelievable!

 

[Cheesecakebobby]

Maybe, I wouldn't be looking that closely and it wouldn't stick in my memory unless it had become a 'thing'

 

[malfcn]

Gotta be trolling.

 

[massoluk]

Wow, Capcpom. Also, that's one huge damn ad campaign at gamefaq.

 

[AndyMoogle]

They've fixed the error in the ad.

 

[LiK]

They've fixed the error in the ad.

HAHA, so it's not intentional

 

[enzo_gt]

That's quite disappoinpting.

 

[Dark Schala]

MERCHENARIES.

I guess you run around in that RE6 map as the merchant from RE4, assaulting people to buy/sell stuff?

 

[King_Moc]

They must be doing this on purpose to create viral advertising. I mean, they have to be, right?

 

[Anth0ny]

ahahahaha

I'm convinced they're doing it on purpose now.

 

[Myomoto]

MERCHENARIES.

I guess you run around in that RE6 map as the merchant from RE4, assaulting people to buy/sell stuff?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAPCOM DO THIS

 

[Femmeworth]

Bumping for this...

Come the fuck on Capcom.

 

[Liamario]

These spelling mistakes can't be errors at this point. They are probably trying to weasel their way out of it, by making it look like it was all intentional.

 

[Willkiller]

What on Earth is going on over there? :lol

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

ahahaha, merchaneries?

Well, I guess you can't spell capcpom without....an extra frigging p.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

These spelling mistakes can't be errors at this point. They are probably trying to weasel their way out of it, by making it look like it was all intentional.

Maybe they're going for the "any PR is good PR" approach.

 

[Slamtastic]

RESIDENT EVIL MARCENARIESE VS.

Old I guess, but still!

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

That's from their japanese site though, not too much of a surprise.

Not like "merchanaries".

Capcom have dlc on the brain.

[Electivirus]

That is ridiculus.

 

[Seda]

A Resident Evil restaurant?

 

[EloquentM]

Cumig soon

 

[Boss Doggie]

So one can finally get an actual Jill burger, as they do mentioned Grill STARS.

 

[SirPenguin]

Omar comig, yo

 

[JackEtc]

Omar comig, yo

 

[BocoDragon]

Before we laugh... might it be the case that "Grand Open" is actually a Japanese saying?

(A shitload of Japanese is pseudo-English for those who don't know)

 

[LongDongJunon]

It's the comig soon, that people were laughing at I thought.

 

[secretanchitman]

no fucking way....lol

 

[nullset2]

I giggle like a little schoolgirl every time this thread is bumped.

 

[Cheesemeister]

"Grand Open" is actually a Japanese saying. "Comig soon" is straight-up wrong.

 

[Defuser]

Finally, I can order a Jill sandwich!

 

[Dark Schala]

Maybe they picked the wrong font size and decided that "n" wasn't important enough so they excised it. I personally would have preferred "coming, son", but this is Capcpom.

Just... oh my gosh... :lol

 

[Salsa]

Omar comig, yo

oh god

 

[abstract alien]

Omar comig, yo

Ha!

 

[Rapstah]

This has been going on for longer than we though, says The Cutting Room Floor:

This is an unused piece of graphics in the Commando arcade game from 1985.

COPCOM. In 1985, Capcom was influential enough to actually fix it, though.

 

[GSR]

Bringing this back, because Capcom has finally struck upon the solution to their boxart typo woes:

Use fangame boxes instead.

(www.capcom.com/us/ -> Games -> Nintendo DS)

 

[SmithnCo]

Aahahaha.

 

[Emitan]

It's not even the same name!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

That... that edited hair.
