I was replaying Resident Evil 2 and this typo broke the climate for me: "Platform Eleveter" https://twitter.com/ResiFacts/status/1189139062197604357 (in moments like that you are reminded, "oh, this is a Japanese game")

I'll note that you have typo'd the typo, it looks like it was "elevater".

I'm leaving that unedited for posterity, thanks for pointing that out

Living in Japan I see so much bad English spelling I’ve gotten used it. Esp. at restaurants it can be very off-putting (e.g. “Flesh Juice” instead of “Fresh Juice”)

Keeping with the video game theme - the Wii version of Okami used a watermarked version of their own box art.

Psygnosis managed to do that as well, in the C64 version of Shadow of the Beast.

Spelling error is at 5-8 seconds in. As that is kinda the first thing you see, it is quite noticable.

I love these little posts.
