    Okami Wii special covers - Final Update!

    Friday, August 22, 2008, 07:34 PM [General]

     

    Well, it's been a long slog, but we're there.  Any day now, those of you who properly filled out the form should be getting your new covers in the mail.  The printer is in the process of sending out nearly 18,000 of them via bulk mail, but rest assured they're on their way!  Here's a quick FAQ of questions I'm asking myself, since none of you can talk to me a the moment.

    1.  Did I just say covers?  Yup.  Since fulfillment took so long, everybody is getting two new coversheets.  Each cover sheet features the cleaned cover art on one side, and the two different new designs on the other.  That's right, everyone is getting all three covers for the price of... well, none!

    2. Did Capcom send out confirmation emails?  Nope.  Part of the problem with the lists was technical and we were unable to send out confirmation emails.   As long as you completely filled out the form, and live in the US or Canada, you're getting the covers.  One mailing per household, so those of you who signed up multiple times are only getting one set.

    3. What took so long?  In a word, Ninjas.  The rumors are true, every Japanese company has its own cadre of elite ninja assassins.  Unfortunately, Capcom has recently thrown in with their mortal enemies, the Pirates, in the form of Age of Booty.  Ever since we announced that title, the ninjas have been nothing but trouble.  The number of death traps around the office has skyrocketed.

    4. Can I still get the covers?  Yes, you can!  But you'll have to use your color printer or find a Kinko's that will charge you about 50 cents.  Hi Res versions of the new covers can still be found here: http://www.capcom.com/artredemption/

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

    Since this was announced, I bought the game, beat it, and sold it.

    Well, If you are that kind of gamer duggie the offer was probably never relevant to you in the first place.

    What kind of gamer is that?
    The kind that buys a game, finishes it, then sells/trades it off.

    The 'Player'.

    The 'Player' doesn't care what the cover art looks like , let alone whether it has an IGN watermark on it. He's just in it for the content on the disc, and the experience of playing a well crafted game.

    I myself am a 'Collector' as much as a 'Player'. I don't sell my games, I buy the collectors/limited editions, and I'm happy to purchase a game to support a fantastic company like Capcom knowing full well that it may be months before the disk sees the inside of my console without giving it a second thought.

    So the opportunity to replace the cover art is more relevant to me, and the type of gamer i am.

    So what happens if someone has moved since they signed up? I hope the mail will be forwarded, but I don't know.

    That would be a loss.

    Since I signed up back in April, I moved, but there appears to be no way to give them a new address or order them for my new one.

    My mail was getting forwarded until a couple weeks ago....

    Really though, four months? If they had gone out in... three months even I would've been able to get them.
