Capcom offers to replace misspelled cases for Resident Evil: Revelations
238 Comments
We reported that some of the first batch of Resident Evil: Revelations copies in North America had an error on the spine of the box. Capcom has revealed that the entire first shipment of the game will have this error. But, if you want the correct spelling, you can call 650-350-6700 or e-mail them (accounts@capcom.com) to receive a replacement case insert for your copy. It might be better though to hold onto the misspelt version. That’s a bit of history right there.
You ARE AWESOME!
thanks :P
why has he not updated the site today
I’m confused if we get the missed spell box and call capcom can we still keep the missed spell one and get the correct spelled one?
Hello! This is not a reply but I THINK kingdom hearts news.. its a video but.. is it already posted on the blog?

did anyone see this?
/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Vmls5-SSpd0
@Omarsonic9 Yeah, that was posted last December.
hilltop hoods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@josh
DAMN! I didnt know my comment got posted.. now I posted so many posts LOL
ReveLAIDions
THAT would be a mistake.
what ?
Hahaha lulz…
I didn’t see it at first but then I did… XD
ReveLAYTONS
i knew this would happen
ok..
Good for you. *clap clap*
1.Keep the original case.
2.Wait a few years.
3Sell it on Ebay.
4.???
5.PROFIT!
And that is LITERAL PROFIT! lol
That is what I was thinking, this is bound to become a collectors item at some point.
Jose, I think you meant to say Illiterate profit. :3
No thanks, I want my resident evil revelaitons.
You want milk (“lait” in french) with your Resident Evil? Ok *tosses milk glass across bar table*
That was not a funny joke, Matt.
Usually jokes you have to explain won’t be funny.
The fact that flygon shot that joke down, made this sad situation quite funny IMO
LOL! Flygon used “Reality check”
@Flygon: Haha that made my day! : D
Don’t really care.
THE ENTIRE FIRST SHIPMEN!?!? Holy S***!…Oh Capcom…Franco is totally right about this being a part of history.
yes it is HISTORY
Honestly it doesnt bother me,plus wait a couple of years and that box will be worth something
Pre-ordered ready to pick up at Gamestop on Tuesday hold onto it for at least 8 years sell it to someone or keep it longer…..
me too
Hmm.. Since everyone wants to get the bad copy and sell it for money, I think I’ll get the good copy and sell it for even more money! Muhahahaha. Ha.
…i want to marry your picture…..
What’s so special about a good copy?
MY BOX IS SPECIAL! *sniff*
Resident Evil RevelAITONS FTW!!!!!! They can’t take my misspelled case from me!
sweet! so basically everyone who preordered it?!
and if its not factory sealed(meaning i open and play it) will it still be worth a lot(or more than a normal copy)?
Depends on whether sealed copies are avalible or not. If there’s a lot, then it wouldn’t be worth as much. If there’s only a few, then it would be worth more- but not as much as the sealed copies.
On a related note… That’s part of why I don’t like the way that Nintendo is handling the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary “Limited Edition” Super Mario All-Stars for Wii. I bought one because I thought that it might really be a collector’s item one day, but they’ve made so many that I’m not sure if it’ll ever really be worth much more than a regular Wii game. Any thoughts on that?
Yeah, Super Mario All-stars may not be worth as much as it might have been. They originally were only doing one printing (which made it more rare) but they have since done several more prints which kind of devalued it.
Keeping mine for life. I don’t even want to sell it.
I keep all of my games for life, except for 2.
^O…kay?
I’ll just keep it. While I do think they should be more careful with this kind of stuff in the future, it’s not like I’m going to go around holding the case up for everyone to see. It’ll go to a small shelf along with my anime collection.
Now, if there was some sort of game-breaking bug in the game, then you can bet I would send it in.
why can capcom just have game cover made and all we do call them to get the game covers with right spelling not shipped the case it it the mail put the new cover there you go.
That’s what the Mean by Case Insert.
It’s just the piece of paper they are giving out.
HA YOU WISH CAPCOM!!!!
I bought 2 lol. Im gonna keep one to play, and leave the other in the packaging until im 20. I can get soo0O0Ooo0oO0O0oo much money.
YEeEEEeeeaAhHHH!!! You will earn an awesome net profit of $30 bucks. That is, if these mispelled things ever reach a higher value. You’ll be filthy rich when u’re 20.
Lols… XDDD
I’m just messing with you, don’t be mad. Maybe some OCD collector pay you a million bucks for it. You never know…
Don’t cha mean a million duckets!?
I wonder if I can call them to get the free replacement case insert without getting the game first. I probably won’t be getting Revelations till my birthday in April. All the money I’ve saved up is in my eShop and spent on Kid Icarus and Tales of the Abyss preorders…
They said they were fixing it after the first shipment, so yours should be fine by the time you get it
Hmm…you can’t sell the game though just the case because i don’t think you can erase your files in the game…
Link or it never happened.
Pretty sure you can. That was only Mercenaries.
You absolutely can, definitely talking about RE: M3D.
You can definitely sell Mercenaries. Gamestop gives (or used to) a decent amount of credit for it. The reason for the save file being permanent was actually because of the style of the game. Once something’s unlocked, it stays unlocked. All the people who complained about it either didn’t know what type of game this was or didn’t know about arcade games/how they worked.
Oh yeah I got messed up with the Mercenaries. Guess you can get more money :♭
@Ty what are you talking about?
mercenaries is a game only the person who bought it is gonna play it, its not like many people are gonna play your 3ds just to get a high score in mercenaries. it is an arcade type of game, but that is no excuse for not being able to delete your data. so what if you sell it and somebody else buys it and he wants to unlock everything and start a new game, well he cant because he cant delete the progress of the game so now the only thing he can do is play for the high score even if he might not be able to surpass it
the reason why Capcom did that was because they didn’t want anybody to buy it used, not because it was an arcade type of game
Might as well get both. Then you could replace it for now, and set the messed up version aside to keep it in good condition. Who knows, maybe it’ll be worth a little something one day.

I want a mispellied versoin it makes me feel better about mey grammer.
I see what you did there.
pssshh… i’d rather have it misspelled x)
Prime example of people being to picky, two fucking words mixed around and its a problem, you got the damn game, be happy JEEEZ
The words are in the right order, it’s that Revelations is Misspelled which is a big problem. I hope it was an accident and not just an idiot who did this.
lol I love it when dumb people say things.
Before you bitch people out for being picky, realize no body here said “FUCK YOU CAPCOM FIX YOUR MISTAKE”
Capcom offered it for those who want it, no one here said they wouldn’t pay the game or anything.
Lastly like Callum said it’s not 2 words mixed up, which if you weren’t retarded you’d notice.
Thank you.
*it’s super effective*
that is a secret edtion. i would keep it!
No mistake on mine but the spine is different it looks alot better :P
I agree Franco. I agree.
We at Nintendo will always make sure to check the spine on our boxes before releasing a game. We wouldn’t want to be disgraced like Capcom has become unfortunately.
You know Reggie, you wouldn’t want to call a company disgraced. 1: Because that’s not what a Nintendo president does, leave that to Jack Tretton. 2: They’ll stop making games for you, and no games = no money.
Gee, for a president you make a lot of mistakes.
I was just stating facts because everyone is disgracing Capcom. We are happy to have this wonderful company on board. They did an excellent job with The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap and we want to use them in the near future.
…Reggie?…Here?…I don’t believe you are the real Reggie Fils-Aime. I mean he wouldn’t call Capcom a disgrace…it’s just a minor error……
I agree, the real Reggie would suck as much d*ck as possible in the most efficient manner just to climb the corporate ladder.
I mean-
He thinks about the families!
hell no think of the value in a couple of years
I don’t see why anyone would care about the case…
My friend is surprisingly bothered a lot by this.
People who are Borderline OCD like me get bothered by it. :P
Cailum, your picture couldn’t be more perfect for what you just said…
I had no idea that everyone who preordered would get a limited edition case!!! So happy!
SHAZAM!!!
Guys, keep the mispelled version, but still call the number. It never says you have to give back the mispelled version, does it? So that means that you can get a free 3DS case!
If you took two seconds to read it, they just mail you a new insert.
That’s great n’ all, but what happened to ta Harvest moon article?
I love how everyone assumes that they are getting a copy with the error. They never said how many were printed with the typo. The less copies = more demand = higher value. If the entire first batch is like this, it won’t be worth anything for a very long time.
well, this is the article that says it is the entire first batch…
Yeah, no way I’m replacing it, this thing might be worth a fortune someday, although if I can just order the other insert without sending this one in maybe I’ll go ahead and get it…
blue big top
Off topic – who is planning to buy the PS Vita on release date?
On topic-I’ll keep the incorrect spelling of the box, then sell it later, and PROFIT!
Me Uncharted FTW baby!
but seriously….devs need to take it easy….6-8 games a month is ridicules.
This month alone for me:
RE: Rev
Tales of abyss
MGS 3D
Uncharted Golden
Wipeout
Ninja gaiden sigma plus
Virtua tennis 4 portable
SSX
It looks amazing, and quite promising, but unfortunately I only have the wage to keep up with one home console and 1 handheld console this generation! There’s no way I can buy all the Vita exclusives alongside the 3DS and WiiU!
Not I. Not I… I’ll probably get it later on when LBP is launched or when the price drops.
There aren’t any games I really want for it right now, so I’ll have to wait. They also really dissuaded me with the 3G gimmick.
I’m not getting 3G version, but the 3G is no gimmick.
it definately comes with it’s feasible advantages. such as GPS and for cloud saving.
Also playing multilayer on the go.
You could always turn on hotspot for your phone, but that could be unsafe just like any wireless network and also drain HUGE battery off your phone, to the point where there is no point of carrying a phone with 2hr lifetime.
Also watching videos and social.
Please don’t be ignorant, 3G is no more a gimmick and 3D.
Than 3D*
The phone thing won’t bother me much then, perhaps I can lay the Vita and my phone next to each other and watch them race their battery life to the death!
But truthfully I’m going to wait a year or two before getting a Vita, I know I’ll buy one but just like the PSP it seems like the good games will take a while to come out.
Eh not really any games on it that I can’t get with a actually console.
Imma pass on it.
@Liquid You can’t use it for multiplayer.
I want it, but alas, I can’t afford so many games/systems (3DS, PSP, Wii, PS3, WiiU). I’ll pick it up it a few years after the price has dropped! That’s what I did with the PSP and it’s worked out great! I’m now getting all the best PSP classics for a super cheap price!
the vita is actually quite great, i expected it to be garbage after i saw the launch games, but the american launch games are better looking to me…but, yes, get it!
I’m trying to win one with Taco Bell’s “Unlock The Box” event.
Our store hasn’t gotten it yet, hopefully they are the mislabelled ones so I can put that on ebay!
I bet someone wouldn’t even notice the misspelled word if they just took a quick glance because its just a minor error…
….I Like Pieeeeee!!!!…….
hey, you stole my catchphrase
>:D
For this misspelled version to actually be worth hundreds I give about 2-3 years and for to be worth something I’d give or take about a couple decades by the time I’m 30 I could have half a million dollars but this will take years to take effect.
…i think thats TOO much money for a misspelled case….even if you did wait i don’t think it would be half a million.
It will be worth (Raises pinky) On billion dollars!
Uh.. Sir? That’s not a lot of money anymore.
@ Henry Anderson Hahaha I get it!
@Henry Anderson I see what you did there
Didn’t even want this game but now I’ll get it just for the box. :P seriously, I’ve never played a resident evil game.
:o
:O
head explode
aww yeah im getting one on tuesday mispelled :)
The only Revelantion that we got from Capcom so far is their pro spelling skills
I’m not sure if that was a joke.
I think it is, but then again…
i think he tried to spell revelations, or maybe revelaiton to make his statement funny
but i am not sure, maybe he spelt it that way on purpose
its just a mispelled case isnt the game the most important
Nope, the game is ruined forever. Every time Jill, Chris, Parker, etc. speak our minds will collectively wander to the name that was misspelled.
Not exactly sure why anyone would care too much.
reminds me of the club nintendo fail. i think it was nobember or something. i forgot to get a newer one though.
What are you talking about? Mispelled? Psshh, I believe you have that backwards. Everyone knows it’s spelt Revelaitons. They’re taking back those copies to give you misspelt ones. That’s why they shipped them that way, but then they decided they want to screw everyone over.
*Game title plays* Resident Evil~ Revelaitons…
http://data.whicdn.com/images/12943890/oh_stop_it___you___by_fyi_sus-d39jds5_large.png
you stink
…What?
after that statement my brain hurts
umm…Xarreno?…that didn’t make sense…..
It did to me…And I blame Money Bee for no one bothering to look at the picture i posted…
Thank the Lord I have an Misspelled Copy :D
Maybe you should ask the Lord for english lessons.
Why doesn’t he ask Google, that’s what I always do… DON’T JUDGE ME!!!
If you dont own the game yet, can you still get a free case?
Why? It’s just a piece of paper.
They’re not giving you the plastic case, common sense dictates people who bought the game have a case but misspelled cover.
So send the cover, plus I’m sure you’ll need some sort of proof you own it.
*fasepalm* Stewpit crapcom misspelting wordz
crapcom… 8D
why would you get rid of an awesome collector’s item like that?
Because it’s a collector’s item…
Can we get one without even having the original box?
Maybe…if you wait until the next batch of Resident Evil cases….
Hmm, it turns out you can get Minecraft on the 3DS….
WHAT!?
@millsy there is a homebrew app called “DSCraft” but it has a realtively small map, can’t get items (you have all the items), and no enemies.
yup its basically a classic version. But someone IS making an unofficial Minecraft for 3DS.
TELL ME WHO?
Some guy named Smealum at GameRant.com
there is also DSCraft 2D which allows you to craft and do other cool stuff…
hmm im a little bothered by this but im thinking of picking it up on thursday. if it has it w/e i can always just call capcom i guess ehh might leave it as is.
When does this game come out again?
NOOOO!!! Allison isn’t going to be in Nintendo Week anymore!!!! I’ll miss her sooo much <:‛(
yeah .. …she was the only reason i watched nintendo week ….you could tell she hated gary and two episodes ago she looked upset ..i thought that was wierd but it makes sense now……but who cares the nintendo show 3d is sooooo much better …i dont even know why they continue nintendo week…. its really cheesey and not funny for anyone older than 10
Actually, for me they are funny because they try to be when they aren’t…
oh and i don’t think Nintendo Show is better……i mostly liked Nintendo Week because i was more used to it.
Alison was sorta a bitch to gary so I really don’t care
Really? This makes me want to watch this… DRAMA!
I like Gary and Alison. I hope this is a rumor. But your right. She did look sad a bit. :(
its no rumor…
The people who get the misspelled version should save it. It might be worth something in the future
M. Bison: Yes! Yes!
Hello!
Anyone checked this out?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Vmls5-SSpd0
oh GAWD! when is there gonna be a new post???
yeah come on david this has ben empty for 2 days come on!
Strange… 3dsforums.com is blocked by google chrome as it has “malicious content” Did someone hack the website?
@Jose You got that too? I was worried something was wrong with my computer. Maybe they were hacked or something but I’m not sure.
I have as well. If it isn’t up again the next few hours…
What would David do? 8)
3ds forums work fine for me
I had the same problem too.
anyone else been blocked by google on 3ds forums because of malware?
I am having this problem too
Tehy shuld put vidrhythm on 3ds
Let’s ask David how much it will be in the future. HE CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE! Does the future SMELL LIKE CHERRIES David?
Yes it does
…another David imposter…
Excuse me, I meant David Turnbull (I think that’s his last name)
keep in mind there more than one David in this blog, its not there fault that they have the same name.
Or is it?! Dun Dun Duuuhhh!
no way!! a misspelled one is much cooler!!!! XDD
No way. The misspelled one will be worth a fortune on eBay someday!
True that.
When does the second ship ment come out, cause it’s my Bday next week, and I really want Resident Evil: Revelaitons.
It will probably not be out by then. Just assuming, but I doubt they will have a second shipment in by then… Of course, the shipments could come weekly, but who knows?
Why do you guys think it’ll be worth a ton later on? Someone could just use a high quality printer and make a copy.
Depends on how many copies are printed overall and how many of the games have the mistake. If they only do 1 or 2 prints, it probably won’t be worth much, unless there are very few cases with the error left. If they do several prints and the game sells very well, it could be worth something.
Also, it’s very easy to tell counterfeits from real game cases. It would likely have to be made from a scan of the original, or a low res picture on the Internet. The colors wouldn’t look the same, and it would have flaws. You’d have to have the original image (that Capcom probably has on a computer) and use the same printing process and ink.
Then just go to Capcom HQ and steal the picture from the computer lol.
“If they do several prints and the game sells very well,”
Yep, this is Capcom we’re talking about.
I wish you would post something for once. You are extremely slow lately. hurry it up.
David or Franco?
Like I said below, David can’t help it. Either his computer has gotten a virus or there’s genuinely nothing to talk about.
Just saw the first PSVita add. Has something to do with TacoBell?
yeah, i saw the commercial that you can get one for free if you win…
…Which definitely won’t be happening to any of us soon… So sad that the chances are so little… I wonder if it would come with a memory card?
Oh no! Now 3DS Forums is down. Now it shows website stats. What the heck?
Yeah, idk. This is all around the same time we haven’t been getting any news… WAIT! Perhaps David has gotten a virus on his computer and it’s spread onto his website?! I’ll bet that’s why we haven’t even seen a wrap-up video from him!
It’s been about 3 days bow and David still hasn’t posted anything… D:>
*now
Yeah, but don’t take it out on David. He’s a busy man, and he can’t help it if there’s nothing going on. He can’t just make things happen with the 3DS and blog about what he did.
David. Franco. What gives bros? I want some news other than a misspelling on a case. xD Hurry it up. Or is there just no news? (Gasps)
Yeah, the news forefront has been a barren desert for the last few days. I hope it’s not an entire week before we get something.
Hi david your forum is infected?

umm why is it in spanish? lol
I’ll be willing to bet it’s because RMC speaks Spanish. ;D
My settings are in spanish :D

Not so sure this game uses Nintendo’s trademark nintendium material… Yep, it’s made by SEGA.
Hilltop Hoods are amazing!!!!!!!! Australia is dope!!!!!!!!!!!
And you need to get good grammar!
@millsy Says the person who starts sentences with and
Technically speaking, @millsy’s grrammar is correct. You can start sentences with “And”.
Get owned Jason.
It’s only the truth.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned anything about my grammar failures…If anyone even bothered to notice.
C’mon! I want something new to happen so it can be discussed on here!
I just ate bread…And I’ve been watching some My Little Pony versions of a couple Rhythm Heaven games lately.
That…sounds..so..AWESOME
Yeah, I’ve seen those, and they’re pretty amazing… Damn, these discussions won’t last long. I wish something would happen in the 3DS world.
Why don’t we just make out own rumors? xD
Hey David, are you stll alive man?!?
+1
I would keep the mispelled version if I were you. Then it would be rare!
so… uh. anything on flipnote memo yet? its about to be a year, from the expected release date. i would have figured they would be working on it the moment they found out we all thought it was coming out last year. by now it should have been waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy finished.
I’m wondering the same thing…
IM GOING TO BURN MY COPY!
What is going on with this site? Nothing is happening at all
Still no recent news…………………………YOUR KILLING ME DAVID!
Guess what everybody Parker dies and so does Jessica.
Looks like obama “president evil” will be mad!!
lolwut?
I-I-I don’t know what to say…
I think it kind of sucks that they will send you a new box for the game itself but wont give people who purchased it a free 3ds case like they are offering on capcom.com if you order it from the website. I picked my copy up at Game Stop. And I payed for it long before the release date. Also I see no mention of this on capcom.com. Maybe I should call and complain, And ask for the 3ds case instead?
Also, I went to register my game at reg.capcom.com and revelations isn’t even on the list. it is 2/8/12. Just a little after midnight. Shouldn’t they have update the list by now?
No news?
lol! Nintendo got tired of announcing and announcing I guess.. well.. lets let nintendo WORK ON GAMES for once till they finish Animal Crossing and other games :)
