Last month, 90,000 Nintendo 3DS<\/a> copies of Resident Evil: Revelaitons shipped out. No, that’s not a typo, but the misprint on the cover was a real mistake – it should of course be Resident Evil: Revelations<\/span>.<\/p>\n

“It’s embarrassing. I can’t really sugar-coat it,” Capcom<\/a> US boss, Christian Svensson, told Game Informer.<\/p>\n

“I can’t even tell you how many people looked at that package and approved it. Nintendo of America, Nintendo Japan, ESRB<\/a>, I don’t know how many people internally, and our guys in Japan. I can’t come up with an excuse for it. It just happened. We’re not happy about it.”<\/p>\n

On the brighter side, those could be collectors’ items in twenty or thirty years. Or maybe not – but for the moment, they’re the new, uhhhh… special editions! Yes, that’s it, special editions.<\/p>\n

“There are only about 90,000 units that have the [Revelaitons] misprint,” said Svensson. “If you’ve got it and it’s shrink-wrapped, that’s a new special edition, that’s our new strategy.”<\/p>\n

It’s not the first time Capcom’s typing pool has turned out mistakes like this one. Apparently the Asura’s Wrather boxart featured “near-impossible chanllenges”, and a trailer for Steel Battalion named the company as “Capcpom”.<\/p>\n

Next up, Capcom is hiring a new copy editor.<\/p>\n
