Summary[edit]

Non-free media information and use rationale – non-free video game cover or boxart true for Ōkami
Description	This is the cover art for Ōkami. The cover art copyright is believed to belong to Capcom. This is the early print of the Wii version cover of Ōkami, which contained a notable error in the cover art. The error contained a watermark of IGN, which can be seen near Amaterasu's mouth.^[1]
Source	May be found at the following website: http://www.capcom-unity.com/lost/blog/2008/04/11/wii_fanboy_interviews_didier_malenfant_cofounder_o
Article	Ōkami
Portion used	The entire cover: because the image is cover art, a form of product packaging, the entire image is needed to identify the product, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image.
Low resolution?	This image is low enough, but cannot be lowered further without making the erroneous IGN watermark on the cover illegible, which is the subject of the critical commentary in the article.
Purpose of use	Section. The image is used for identification in the context of critical commentary of the work for which it serves as cover art. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed at the beginning of a section discussing the work, to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. This image is used to depict a notable error as stated on the description above, which is a subject of the critical commentary in the article. Use for this purpose does not compete with the purposes of the original artwork, namely the creator providing graphic design services to relevant concerns and video game marketing to the public.
Replaceable?	As cover art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the packaging of the item in question would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary. Using a different image would be misleading as to the identity of the work. This version of the cover art has been fixed in later prints, which can be difficult to obtain.
Other information	Use of the cover art in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. Capcom provides a high-resolution PDF version of the cover without the watermark on their website.
