boxartscrewup.bsky.social @boxartscrewup.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I think the whole Okami IGN watermark *crisis* of '08 is well known at this point, but did you know BradyGames' revised strategy guide for the Wii version ALSO had an IGN watermark in a slightly different spot? It was a different time, where IGN was clearly the only website to upload Okami images 084
boxartscrewup.bsky.social @boxartscrewup.bsky.social · 25/04/2026Haha, in this case I was like... *hyper* obsessed with the DS early on and saved all sorts of PR images. Hardcore Pool was actually one of the first 3rd party games with box art revealed for the system, so when it missed its 2005 release and suddenly showed up two years later I was like heeEEEEYYYY 110
boxartscrewup.bsky.social @boxartscrewup.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Originally announced as 'Hardcore Pool', publisher UFO quickly discovered the ESRB wasn't a fan of almost everything going on, so they needed to change the final game to 'Underground Pool' for an E rating As a result we got a lonely dude with a very impressive jaw just having the time of his life 185

boxartscrewup.bsky.social @boxartscrewup.bsky.social · 30/01/2026The backlash was so severe they not only switched to the original Japanese box art for the collector's edition in the end, but also crammed as many characters as they could into the standard edition Everyone won and lost at the same time; a great day for all 220
