Well, this calls for a triple post:

Seriously, What the hell happened there!?

I just picked up the game, so I can confirm that weird ... thing is on the cover. There's also a giant round "9.5 out of 10 - Play" sticker on the cover, only its not a sticker, its embedded into the cover itself.

I'll put a review of the game later on :)

Yeah, I think this calls for a crappily drawn cover replacement ala Excite Truck~

In case anyone was interested: Gametrailers.com - Okami - PS2/Wii Comparison

The Wii version looks way sharper, but I'm not sure if that's the game itself, Gametrailers's capturing equipment, or what I heard about toned down paper filter for the Wii version.

Now I notice the IGN logo every time I pick up the game. That's pretty sad. Anyway, according to the capcom forum the cover artist took this image:

...and filtered it for the background. It did turn out nice but they should have used an image without the damn logo on it. I'm surprised they didn't just email capcom japan requesting a jpg of the image without the IGN stamp on it. You'd think they would still have it somewhere.

Haha wow, that's even cooler than Midway using IGN screens on the back of the Cruis'n box.

So... who wants free replacement cover?

There's three flavors to choose from! :)

Posted this in my journal also.

Stuff looks awesome and 100% IGN watermark free.

I already sent in my info. The watermark thing really doesn't bug me that much, but I wouldn't mind an extra cover :D

--edit--

Got an email from Capcom regarding the Covers :)

Okami: Capcom Fuck Clover's Sad Panda Corpse [Updated]
The Wii version doesn't have the staff credits, apparently! That kinda sucks and all. Ah well, I can always view it online.

I'm gonna get this game sometime in May. I've never played the PS2 version, so now I can see what the fuss is all about :P
