Nintendo’s/Sony’s/Capcom’s Oopsy! – Lesson learned: Double check case covers

Here is an important lesson: Check and double check for typos, grammar and that you have the correct domain name on the back of the game’s box cover, before printing it and sending out to retailers.

However, somehow, someone, seems to have missed the hyphen in the name. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the domain which it now points to is not exactly a family friendly site. (Check at your own risk – NSFW)

Here is the bottom of the Game Cube version of the box cover:

[Update]We have verified that the PS2 version of the game points to the same website.

  3. This happens all the time. Capcom registered the http://www.killer7.com site for only a year or so, the game being released in July of ‘05. After it ran out, some porn company trying to make a buck snapped it up, hoping people would go to the site after being led there by the game.

  6. Thank Capcom For The Gang Bang Linkage…

    Here at Kotaku, we don’t have a cracker jack team of proof readers. When we fuck up, it’s because we, and we alone, are checking each of our posts. Ourselves. But, when big companies make an boo-boo, it’s because groups……

  10. [...] The rather large cock-up on Capcoms part was noticed by gamer’s blog Ibloggedthis, whose beady eyes noticed that the website for the game (which is printed on the back of the box) isn’t actually the home of the zany futuristic thriller, but instead is the residency of an established hardcore porn site.
