When designing a layout, one usually uses placeholder images to get a better idea of where every piece of content will go. The placeholder images are not a part of the final product, so the quality and content isn’t especially important. That is, unless one happens to forget to replace the placeholder image with the final artwork.

Such was the case with the box art for Nintendo Wii game Okami. Kotaku has a write-up on this embarrassing oversight. As someone working in the industry, and a sometimes scatter-brained person, I can understand how this would happen. I would even wager as to how this image ended up on the game’s box art: a looming deadline and a rushed graphic design department.
