In a statement released by a CapCom representative today, Nintendo's label-making software was criticized after Resident Evil: Revelations for Nintendo 3DS shipped with a spelling error on the spine. “We are used to cover editing software having an auto-correct for spelling mistakes,” said CapCom marketing director Ron Standard, “so we didn't know what the red underline meant.” He went on to say that Nintendo's outdated 3DS case imaging software is the reason that the typo exists, and that they shouldn't be expected to put in the effort to fix typos.
Furthermore, CapCom criticized Nintendo's lack of 3DS case patching when discussing the fix for the mistake. “Due to Nintendo's shortsightedness in designing 3DS software cases, we are not able to issue a downloadable patch, and must instead go the more expensive route of printing new cover art for both new and existing copies of the game.” This, he says, will further increase the production cost of the game, after the price was already cut down to reasonable levels when the company realized they “couldn't slight customers into paying a premium for a game we actually put effort in making.”
Rumours are circulating that CapCom has locked the game's ending as $10 DLC, but Ron declined to comment “until after the game launches.”
