“Retched” in Devil May Cry
Was checking the back of #DMC’s PS2 case and noticed the word under one of the screen captures.
At first I thought it was “wretched”, but suspecting of a potential mistake like that being too obvious to pass, I still went to check. Apparently it’s Old English for “vomited”? Curious choice of word if so.
Tangentially, these old cases are being interesting to check imo, to see how titles tried to be relevant back then.
Oooooooooh
Time for a GameFAQS rabbit hole to find scans of the Japanese covers then. e.e"
It will be interesting to see.
The Japanese one may be completely different and not have this text at all, or they may have used katakana to indicate an English loan-word for “wretched,” which when translated back into English could translate to “Retched” if it is treated like a proper noun and the translator is dull or doesn’t have the full context.
