Nintendo sold 67,558 3DS units last week, which was slightly down from last weeks number of 75,018, but it was still enough to hold a comfortable lead over Japan’s number two top selling console last week, the PlayStation 3 (sold 22,002 units). In terms of software, it was a pretty good week for the Japanese giants, Nintendo, with three Nintendo 3DS games landing in the top 5. Continue reading

Some weeks ago, we found out that Capcom had made a spelling mistake on the Resident Evil: Revelations boxart. Today, the company revealed that the boxarts with the spelling mistake will be replaced. Here’s what they had to say:
As you may well have heard by now, the title of Revelations is indeed misspelled on the spine of the game box (as “Revelaitons”). Unfortunately, the initial North American shipment of the game will reflect this error, but we just got confirmation that subsequent shipments of the title are being repackaged to have the correct spelling. Meanwhile, customers who have received the misspelled version can contact our Customer Service line at 650-350-6700 or by email at accounts@capcom.com and we’ll send you a new insert for your case. So yay!

Some Japanese analysts have estimated that Resident Evil Revelations will sell around 100,000 units on its first day of sale in Japan. It’s a huge number, but due to the success of previous Resident Evil games, it’s definitely an achievable feat.

A couple months ago, Capcom confirmed that Resident Evil Revelations, would cost $49.99, which is $10 more than a typical release for the system. The company’s justification at the time was the game needed a 4GB cart instead of the standard 2GB that most 3DS games use. Today the company has revealed that Resident Evil Revelations will only cost $39.99 when it arrives in stores on February 7th.
In its announcement of the new price, Capcom explained it has been searching and negotiating for a way to bring Revelations’ pricing more in line with other 3DS games. Thanks goodness for us, those negotiations paid off!

It appears that Capcom has incorrectly spelled “Revelations” on the Resident Evil: Revelations boxart. Bitmob’s Dan Hsu received the game today and quickly noticed the mistake. However, Capcom is no stranger to boxart screwups. The company made a huge mistake some years ago in the Okami (Wii) boxart. On it, you could clearly see the IGN logo as a watermark.
Let’s hope that Capcom will fix the mistake before the game is released this February 7th in North America. Don’t forget to leave a comment with your thoughts.
