Thomas Game Docs | The game with a TYPO in its name @ThomasGameDocs | Uploaded July 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
This is one of the biggest mistakes made by a video game developer: a video game with a typo in its name! Let's talk about how this huge disaster happened, and how gamers reacted when they found out the video game they just bought had a spelling mistake on the box!
Capcom actually made TWO huge mistakes when releasing their games - the game with the typo on the box, and another video game with a WATERMARK on the front cover. In this video, I'll tell you about both disasters!
