]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I played the US version of this game 3 times end-to-end and I'd have to say this is one of the best games I've ever played.

I recently purchased the Japanese version so I could play it upscaled on my import PS3 and will definitely buy the Wii version. Hopefully marketing won't dumb down the cover art like they did with the US PS2 version - the Japanese box art was divine!

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Yay! I plan to get a Wii some time next year. I hope the game is as good as the hype makes it out to be. :)

Zunnoab

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> YES! Never having owned a PS2, this and Katamari were some of the few games I was genuinely jealous of not having. The Nintendo diehard are getting are finally getting a chance to try what looks to be a great game! Come on....I'm now praying the Wii 2 will get a LittleBigPlanet sequel!

Mortal-Mode

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> While I've totally bagged the Wii for how much mine is collecting dust, I'm really happy about this announcement. I own a PS2 and PS3, but still haven't got around to picking up this game.

From what I've heard about this game, it'll be a first day purchase for me. It's exactly the sort of thing I purchased the Wii for and hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Doshu

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> This will be the third copy of the game I will buy. And I will buy it gladly. Hopefully they'll also make it widescreen and add a bit of new content :-)

@blaked567: Never heard Shadow of Colossus being mentioned for the Wii, but Katamari would definitely be a good fit with some cool tilting mechanism.

mechawatts

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I wish it wasn't being ported :\ I bought it for PS2 and haven't played it yet, and when it comes out for Wii I probably still won't have played it. Then I'll be wondering which version I should play.

I'll probably stick with the PS2 one. >_>

Mit

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Okami is a great game for those that haven't played it. I probably won't buy it because I beat the game to completion on the ps2, but maybe a sequel? This is probably one of or the first good game coming out on wii that's not first party, especially when many people haven't played Okami

kirstpo

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I got the game as a gift. I'd heard great things about it, but for some reason it didn't keep me interested enough to play past the first three hours. Now I'm not sure whether to give it a second chance on the Wii, which will necessitate buying a second copy, or just sucking it up and trying the PS2 version again.

Pantsman

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @SidepocketPro: I don't understand why all the replies to my comment are either hostile or are defending Okami. I never said Okami was a bad game. I have the game. I greatly enjoy it. I also pointed out that Okami Wii will open up the game to a new audience that hasn't had a chance to experience it yet.

the only thing I have a problem with are rabid fans' preconceptions that Okami Wii will be the best thing ever and is automatically better than Okami v1.0 simply due to the wiimote.

blaked569

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Wow. It is funny how the biggest reason I am glad I have a Wii is not the few exclusive AAA titles that have come out for it but rather the AAA titles that were released originally on the PS2 that I never played due to my lack of that particular system.

FeendRendor

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I have this game for the PS2, and the only thing that I can see as a negative for the Wii version is that it might not actually be able to capture the 'sense' of drawing. In the Wii 'Rayman' game, there were some drawing/tracing mini-games that I found a little difficult to accomplish, because as I moved the Wiimote around, it just felt like I was gesturing in air. I would move the Wiimote in what I thought would be a straight line, to only get something slightly crooked. I didn't feel like I was drawing, despite using my dominant hand.

I'm a fairly dedicated artist (mostly dry medium like charcoal, pencil, and conte, but I also do painting, including traditional brush calligraphy) so I actually have a very steady hand and very good hand-to-eye coordination. Drawing on the PS2 felt very natural to me, because besides using shapes that used very simple, natural thumb movements (circles or straight lines), there was also the sense of friction, much like if you were actually drawing and putting pen to paper.

Otherwise, if the port plays the same on the Wii, I don't think it'll make this great game a 'better' game.

ese

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> This must be what it feels like when a local band hits the mainstream and gets a big record contract.

On the one hand, you feel happy for their success, on the other hand, it feels like you're losing something special that not a lot of people knew about.

I hope it's treated right. I have a feeling it's gonna draw a lot of sneers from people saying it's a Twilight Princess knock-off. More than it already does, anyway.

Suzaku

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> OMG................Finally! I played this game at a friends house and loved it but I could never find a single copy of the game where I live. This will finally give me a chance to play through it. I need to make sure I get it right away though...

Triple07

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I spent over 88 hours on this game, that's what it says on my completed save file. This game is MASSIVE, and ENJOYABLE. One of the richest game expereinces EVER. Zelda: TP FAILS. But now, I don't know if I want to buy it again! It's not cost effective for my relatively penny pinching ways- but it is AWESOME!!!!

I love you Clover, Okami!

Sailorcancer

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Are they going to lower the price like Capcom did with RE4 cause everyone already played it? But i rented and beat it on the PS2 but i will still enjoy this on the Wii.

MURDERFACE

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Well, this sucks ass. I just bought it two months ago for the PS2 :(
Hope it's cheap then, because I'll be damned if I'm missing sexy hot wiimote brush action.

PlanHex

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Alalu: Thoughts exactly. Loved the game, beat it as an import that my friend lent me and again in English just for the hell of it. Control scheme was damned nice for the PS2 as well, so I doubt I'd pick it up for the Wii.

But if does get a Wii sequel, I'll definitely be one of the first to buy it.

Sturmfalke

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Many posters dont really care wheather Okami on Wii is good or not. The Wii lovers say its absolutely sweet and 'coming home' and the Wii haters say things like old, rehash or "would have been better on another system"

I believe most people care about the success of their favourite and believe posting on an internet forum can change said systems fortune.

Gremory

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I don't think this is going to be a very good seller. The target audience is people who own a Wii, but didn't own a PS2, and want to play a 40+ hour adventure game?

Who's out there in that category?

BTW, love the game. Possibly the most beautiful art direction ever in a video game. Please buy it if you haven't already.

Dorgon

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @blaked567: In the case of Twilight Princess, the gaming was significantly improved also due to the aiming process, as well as the ease of not having to charge up for spin attacks, and plenty of other little things that made the whole experience much more fun.

As for Okami, I think I can safely say that this game is going to be in my house the second it is released.

JChaos

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Mezodon: Because it is a game that will come out on the Wii, duh!!! didn't you get the memo, everything that is released on the Wii sucks.... at least according to the trolls :-S

So excited about this :oD

valhum

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Personally, it seems quite indicative of publishers mindsets when it comes to the Wii; almost a year in, it still seems more viable to invest in ports than create new IPs. Understandably, the return on investment is much better for ports, especially on a successful console like Wii.

That reality is pretty depressing

It seems that games like No More Heroes, Sadness or Zack and Wiki can't come soon enough.

That being said, I do hope Okami garners more attention than it did on PS2, the devs at clover certainly deserve it.

But can we just move on to original content from now on? Or at least, just copy all the brain-training/fitness titles, that's got a least another year before it becomes cliche. ;)

shadloon

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> If it's a remake, I dunno. If it's a sequel, then I've finally found a game that'll get me to buy a Wii.

Nirvash

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @blaked567: It doesn't have to be the best thing ever, it just has to work, and TP proved that it does. It's a port that people want for a console they own.
Ultimately, the Wii-mote is just a controller. You can utilize the pointer or motion controls if you want, but people seem determined to judge it by its worst abuses or its greatest triumphs. It's just a controller.

whalleywhat

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> i would buy this.

drbrownt0wn

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I'm pretty conflicted. I want the game to do well, but at the same time I think it would be a travesty if it only did well because it was a Wii game. It was amazing before, but it was commercially panned for some reason. If it has new content and a lower price I *may* buy it again, but I still have a copy laying within ten feet of me that's perfectly perfect.

Anemone

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Okami is a great game (though the first hour or so is a snore) that will fit perfectly on the Wii. I already beat it on the PS2 so I won't be buying it, but it will reach a whole new audience on the Wii. The game deserves to sell more as it is so original and so fun.

My review for the game will be up on Monday, I've had it written for a while. [www.thefirsthourblog.com]

SidepocketPro

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> About time capcom did this. Not too surprising they did since due to the brush actions and plus the Wii is printing cash uncontrolably.

Search on EBay for something called an "imagination". I heard they are pretty cheep now.

SidepocketPro

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Yaaay, finally a game worth owning for the Wii other than Smash. Nothing but good news from Capcom! Now I can hold off the PS2 version and buy this one.

y2kenjination

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Doesn't really effect me having played it on the Wii, but I'm glad it's getting ported so more people will actually BUY this great game. You know, so Capcom will go 'hmmmm, this Okami is selling pretty well. Let's make more.' Then of course Okami 2 will be on Wii and I'll be screwed. So there you go.

RudeAnimat0r

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Fine. I give in. I'll buy your damned Wii. But I don't love it.

CAPCOM IS BACK!!!!

VakeroRokero

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Josh*: Bully is scheduled to be released on the Wii this year... so there's some more consolation.

And I don't understand you people that are already trashing the Wii version of Okami. It'll probably play similarly to the PS2 with the remote and nunchuk while putting in some motion sensing functionality like for the brush. And it'll look nicer and maybe include some extras. What's not to like? It's a port of an apparently great game that sold poorly, and the sales of the Wii version could lead to a sequel.

Mezodon

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I believe I'll be gifting this to all my friends with a Wii. I was just thinking about going back through the game yesterday, but now I think I'll wait. I'm a bit more excited about motion controls for fighting than painting, and I know after RE4, they'll do a great job in porting it over.

Kaji

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> capcom keeps coming with the megatons! cant wait to finally try this out.

toneroni

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> YES, I'm so excited. When I saw gameplay videos of Okami for PS2 I just said "Wow I'd rather play this with a Wii Remote." AND NOW IT'S COMING TRUE, WOOHOO!

NukaCola

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Good to see Okami is getting a second chance for all those who missed it the first time around.

I played, completed and enjoyed this on the PS2 immensely, so I won't be buying it again, but I think anyone but the willfully obtuse can see that a Wii version of this game has the potential to be Very Good Indeed (initial capitals deliberate).

inphanta

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @blaked567: Maybe people feel that way because they can see it working. You can jump and move on the nunchuck. You can write and maybe even interact iwht the game more because of the Wii mote now.

I mean metroid does it just fine? You jump here and there while still aiming at stuff? The controller is very capable. What is the problem? The only reason Tp port to the Wii wasn't better is because they didn't fully use the controlls the way they could have.... just look at metroid and mario and tell me they are not hitting their stride at making wii mote games that actualy use the controller better. If you do infact have a Wii go a rent some games and you'll see every one Wii code is not the same. Some people are better and some are just getting by. Even links crossbow game looks and even seems to play better.

Just because it is a port does not mean they can not change the controls...

Runna

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Whoaness: No we're not. While the game did suffer from overall bad sales, it wasn't simply the failure of Okami that resulted in the studio's closure. God Hand wasn't exactly a best-seller, either, and the latter Viewtiful Joe games were more miss than hit.

Perhaps if Capcom had done a better job in marketing the game, it would have sold better. Trying to guilt-trip us into the belief that we (as in, those of us who didn't buy Okami when it came out) are responsible isn't going to work and just makes you sound petty. In the end, the only ones responsible for Clover's disbanding was Capcom, which made a business decision to dissolve the studio.

They're your sour grapes. Don't expect us to eat them for you.

Lezard

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @SpacePenguinBot: there's more to okami than painting

blaked569

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I've never played the PS2 version, but with all the great response coming from it and the fact that it is on the Wii, I might have to pick this up. That is, if they sell it for the reduced price...I picked up RE4 because of that, after hearing good things about it...I of course forgot my fear of zombies and haven't played it for awhile because of that...and because I kept dying...

JGab

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Oh so excited, i've read so much so much good things about this game and now i am happy that i am gonna be able to play it in me Wii :oD

valhum

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Toasticus: yeah i hear that a lot, but in this case, isn't it intuitively so? RE4 involves something called...oh, i don't know, aiming? something which the wiimote can perform quite well, intuitively. on the other hand, okami is a platform game, and whilst the brush parts might be easier to perform on a wiimote, how will the platforming play out?

twilight princess showed that, yes, traditional gaming can be successfully mapped (I say mapped because TP was originally for gamecube) onto a wiimote. but does that automatically make it more fun or amazing to play? Before you go off and say "BLAH BLAH BLAH HAVE YOU SEEN MARIO GALAXY BLAH BLAH", keep in mind i'm talking about okami, here. a port.

I love the wii, and i'm sure RE4 Wii was all that and a bag of chips, but I'm mainly tired of hearing everybody go "OMG SHADOW COLLOSUS WII WOULD BE AWESOM" "OMG KATAMARI WII IZ A WINNING COMBINATION" "OMG OKAMI WII IZ GUNNA BE THE BES THING EVER"

will it, though? will it?

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I'm not one for the "made for the Wii" argument, either, but if it does increase sales enough to get me a proper sequel on PS3, I'll be happy enough. :)

belfastga

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I was considering a PS3 due to never owning a PS2 and wanting to play this game, along with Shadow of the Colossus, Bully and the God of War games.

Now BC is being stripped and I already own a Wii, this is a little consolation. Shame that it looks like I'll never play God of War 1 or 2 though, unless i scramble for a 60GB.

Josh*

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Fantastic. That should be sweet when it comes out. I have the PS2 version and like most of you I'll be more than happy to buy it again for the Wii.

kaze_neko

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> After finishing the game on the PS2 and subsequently having it billed for me as the best game ever, I was a bit dubious as to whether the game would suit the Wii. However, I will give them a chance. However, Capcom, DO NOT MESS THIS UP!

This game does not deserve a bad port. End of.

HiddenAway

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> All of you who skipped out the PS2 Okami, shame on yourself. You are responsible for closing down Clover Studio.

Whoaness

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Damn you Capcom! Now I must spend more of my hard earned money on yet another system and the games for it!

Seriously though, it's wonderful this is coming out again. Here's hoping for some extra sidequests or other bonueses.

Dragonzigg

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> As much as I generally dislike Ports of last gen games to Wii I think this is a great move. Too many people have not got to enjoy this game and maybe this time around it can be different. And like it has been said I think the Wiimote for the Celestial Paint brush parts makes a lot of sence.

Konchu

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Never got around playing the PS2-version so I might just shell out some money for this one (if it's any good then, that is).

It's a damn shame this game didnt get the exposure it deserved. Hopefully things will go better on the Wii. This is one port that NEEDED to happen imo.

Sheetman

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @deviation59: Amen!

This game is one of the few reasons that I still haven't completely ditched my PS2. I'd rather a 360 version, but this will certainly suffice.

tk.

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> God I hate this. I just got it and completed it the other week, the whole time I was playing it thinking that it would be perfect for the wii but it will never happen and now it happens. Damn you Capcom why do you always win!

TheBampot

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Well, there ya go. Wish I could of said something earlier. :)

I don't think it's going to be a problem getting the graphics going. The real fun is to see how the designers figure out the remote functionality.

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Yes!
I loved the PS2 original and it's probably work even better on Wii.

If it's a budget release, I'll be all over this.

david78

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I loved the game until the very end then it turned into megaman. So i think ill pass on this one.

mindfreak101

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Let's hope that unlike RE4 Wii, this game gets true 16x9 480p instead of some cropping bullshit.

Deviation59

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Kyle81:
It doesn't "need" the Wiimote. The Dualshock is just fine.
It also doesn't "need" to be on DVD. CDs are just dandy.
Nor does it "need" to be cell shaded. A more generic art style would be like tasty sour candy.

See the point? There are a lot of things any game doesn't "need". But there are also a lot of things that can serve to greatly enhance them. The Wiimote+Okami is one of those things.

MR. FAP☆FAP!

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I agree with Brain,

"It doesn't NEED the Wiimote."

Also, this game is just going to be too long for a hardcore gamer to get through it with the 'motes...

As a huge zelda fan, I had to go back and buy the Gamecube version to actually finish it...

I just don't feel like the wii-motes are actually adequate for longer, less casual games...

Shiryu

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I have the PS2 version already so for me, if this version doesn't have 16:9 & progressive scan support then its kinda useless. I'd be far more excited about this showing up on 360 with achievments and HD visuals, or even PS3 with a visual upgrade. I'm more concerned about the Wii controls. Sure the painting gimmick will be nice & all with the wiimote, but what about the actual gameplay controls? Moving the camera and such?

PlaidNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> So will I be getting progressive scan and true widescreen support? If so, then you just pulled $50 out of my wallet.

I just wish Clover (Seed cum PlatinumGames) would be getting some of this money, rather than Capcom.

LostToys

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Kyle81:

It doesn't NEED the Wiimote. You guys are missing the point. The point is to rerelease a monetary flop on a lucrative system.

BrainofJTD

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I never had a chance to play it on the PS2, so this is going to be great.

And to all the "OMG THE WII MOTE IS TEH SUCK" idiots, at least wait until you PLAY the game before you start your BS.

GrapenutsRobot

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Archaotic:

And I hate gritty-voiced, hardened military types built like brick shit-houses. Didn't stop me from playing and enjoying Gears of War though.

Even though I have the PS2 version, this is yet another point for me to buy a Wii. Can someone tell me exactly why the controls are better on a control pad? Surely holding something that approximates more to a paintbrush, and manipulating it in a way closer to actually painting, is better than just twiddling your thumbs?

StormTec

jeresun

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> It will undoubtedly be ruined by the Wiimote controls. Inaba knew it works best with the controller so that's why it was on the PS2 only. Now that Crapcom removed the god studio and stole all their work, prepare the whoring of their games into crap.

Whoaness

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Nice. I'm sorry to say I missed it when it first came out, and it's been sitting towards the bottom of my list. What can I say, other stuff seemed better at the time (hell, I just picked up FF12 two weeks ago).

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Nice... I hope they payed close attention to mario galaxy and the extra remote. Also too they should add cool things like a world where the paper is burning or some thing! Hey man really they should go ahead an brain on a street fighter designed around a GTA idea of a sand box stage. Instead of devil kings just make it like old 80s games with chains and oil drums...LOL

Really these guys are set to make a killing... If my japanese was better I would give them a try! Console systems seem to always do this! And I love it!No matter what comes out for the more powerful systems the good stuff always hits the consoles. Now if nintendo can do an ash for the Wii I think every thing will be set! And what about a battletoads game for the Wii using the new bone animation stuff on 2d sprites!

Oh Oh sorry I got side traked my mind is racing so fast! You see how okami looks now? well with some extra effects you can get the dripping paint effect just like the street fighter promo! So if you think about it could the Wii really do a wet paint street fighter just like the one we saw in 2d? Hell they already did an whole zelda that way. Vanilla is making one of these games already! Man Also too if they give the back ground a little back lighting as in light shining thur paper then that may be a new way to bring it into the new gen.

Runna

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Toasticus: And a real infinity/sandbox mode! (See Crackdown: Keys to the City.)

And a better inventory system so I don't switch to a book in the middle of a fight! "Hrmm, this book makes construction items last longe.. OH MY GOD THEY ARE EATING MY FACE!" (One Bumper cycles weapons, one cycles food, hold one and push other to cycle non-combat items?)
And a headset for my walkie talkie (Seriously, with all those electronic stores I think 1 might just have a headset)!

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Haha! Awesome! This news makes me so happy! Day 1 purchase for me...and I already own it on the PS2!

MR. FAP☆FAP!

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> It's a great game and it'll suit the Wii very well. However, I just can't help but look at it as a last generation game now. Same with RE4, as good as they are, they're not going to make me see the Wii as anything other then a dated machine given a prod of life by a motion sensor.

Shiloa

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I am going to buy it for sure! Damn I'm hella excited to revisit the world of Okami. My only hope is that they don't add too much motion control combat bullshit. I hope they only add it to the paintbrush and leave the rest of the combat with the A button. Oh and a little bit of extra content would be awesome. Either way I am going to buy this game.

Oh and I would pay full price too. Just because I have to support this game. It deserves it.

ReVivAL

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @blaked567: It's more like a paintbrush than PS2 controller.

SpacePenguinBot

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Score.
Capcom FTW.
Won't miss this again.

Chimaera

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I'll definitely pick this up if it's $30. I'm worried that it might not be, because it was never on GameCube hardware like RE4 was, and thus might take a bit more work to port to the Wii.

I rented this a few months ago, and didn't have time to really get into it, so I'd gladly give it anther chance as a budget Wii title.

SpacePenguinBot

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @IntelSilver: So you'd rather the game remain a poor-selling cult title on the PS2 and not give it another chance to shine?

Lezard

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @App, It's a re-release.

Scubanick86

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Alalu: Yea Okami was nice game, but its big flaw to me was that it was extremely easy.

Why this game "needs" wii controls is beyond me, it played perfectly on PS2, the drawing was never meant to be accurate even, and the game is so easy, it kinda sapped away the enjoyment.

Kyle81

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Awesome, i'm all for the artistic types.

tehCurtis

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Kavatar:

I'm actually not one for ports, unless they're old and pbscure or deserve a second chance. Okami definitely deserves a second chance. This is a game that took over about a year to sell 20,000+ copies in Japan, despite the critical praise.

I think the control scheme will take some getting used to, but the game wasn't all that complex.

Do Kesubei

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Okay, now just release God Hand for the Wii and all will be according to plan.

Dr.Chocobo

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> This pleases me!

SzinDragon

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I love Okami to death, but I never felt the necessity of it going to the Wii. The game is perfect as it is on the PS2... There's a lot more to the game than just the celestial brush, and even that worked nicely on the PS2 controller.

Anyway, I hope it sells well on the Wii, it surely deserves the love.

(And sequel, Capcom, PLEASE, it has to happen somehow after that ending.)

Alalu

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Nice, Capcom. This'll be great. Kinda sad that this game is getting a second chance but Clover is not.

Do Kesubei

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> That is some of the best news I've ever heard, and that is also the best fursuit I've ever seen (well...wait...the only fursuit I've ever seen, 'cept for Chip & Dale and other ungodly mascots). Why is it the best fursuit? Because it isn't sexual at all, which is a big boon, but also because it's Okami's version of Amaterasu, which be also am the goodness.

denki

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I really don't understand what the problem with the fursuit is...
Just because you don't like the medium doesn't mean you should dismiss the creativity or craftsmanship.

I guess it's just a case of "pointing out the speck in your eye with a log in mine" when it comes to respecting videogames as art here.

Echo_Hotel

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Kai_: I totally agree. It's not like you spend the majority of the gameplay using the Celestial Brush. It just feels to me like another cash-in that will only use the remote in a half-assed way, which is a shame because I loved Okami on the PS2. I hope I'm wrong about that.

Kavatar

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Oh...and maybe we'll even get the sequel later on down the road...maybe.

I'm A Gamer Type Guy!!

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Awesome. I own this for my PS2 but never finished it. Great game.

FoxHoundADAM

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Hopefully it will be bargain priced to justify buying this version.

swirldude

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I was going to get this for my PS2...but I want it to feel like a new game for me, so I'm going to wait! Now...only if they can get some new sequels made for the Wii...or even better, new IP's...I'd be loving it!

I'm A Gamer Type Guy!!

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Very happy to hear this news, although I'll likely just pick up the PS2 version for $10 after the Wii version ships.

Tonx

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @IntelSilver:

But you gotta admit, its a very nice combination. I wonder, if the Wii was released way back when Okami was first announced, would this have gone to it first or the Ps2?

theboyfrombrasil

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Is htis a re-release or a sequel? I actually hope it's a re-release because I never played the original.

Apreche

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Great news for Wii owners. This is one of the best, and most beautiful games ever made.

EDGE

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @blaked567: RE4 Wii was far superior to GC version, and that's coming from someone who loved the GC version as his favorite game of all time. I have high expectations for this port.

Toasticus

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> sweet, i never played the PS2 version but alwasy wanted to, but never wanted a PS2. this is gonna rock. Bought effin time Wii starts getting decent games.

theboyfrombrasil

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Nice work. This looks like such a natural fit. I just hope it doesn't feel like an entire game of Wolf Link.

Benjo

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> haha, i just bought this gem used for $30 the other day at gamestop, and started playing it just last night. looks like i'll be sinking another fifty in capcom's direction for the same thing next year.

CrimemasterGogo

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Nice, now I'll pick up this game.

Fetus_God_of_Love

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> to be honest, i don't understand why everyone's been clamoring about how "OKAMI IS PERFECTT!)!!>! FOR THE WII" and the "okami is coming home" business. don't get me wrong. okami on the wii is a great thing, and like RE4 wii, will open this game up to many who haven't experienced it yet. but just because okami has a paint brush game mechanic (cough gimmick) doesn't mean that the wii version will be automatically superior. does holding a wii remote feel like holding a paint brush? yeah, i didn't so.

blaked569

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> It won't bring back Clover :(

Latonone

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Toasticus: I like the way you think sir!

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Well, as many of you are, I'm pretty happy about this. I think this is another sign that the Wii might possibly be getting some good third party support soon, even if this is just a port for now.

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Capcom are kicking ass and taking names this week.

Kuraudo

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Liking this...this is good, Capcom! Keep it up! (Read as: Street Fighter IV Wii, please.)

Robotube on PSN wants to play SFHD.

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I actually don't think anything but the drawing would work on Wii. The combat was not at ALL made for it. Even the calligraphy is supposed to be slow and deliberate.

Swift_

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> @Witzbold: Seriously! With Otis as the villain!

Toasticus

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Give this to me at $29.99 and I'm sold, I rented the PS2 game earlier this year and thought about how good it would be on Wii.

Any other good PS2 Capcom games that deserve the Wii treatment? I'm drawing a blank.

DaiMacculate

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Now I'm glad I didn't buy it for PS2. Wii Okami, here I come!

Roadkill

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Capcom sure is delivering this week. I can pick this up for my Wii now!

Would it be wrong to ask for a new Breath of Fire now? Even if it's for a portable!? Come on Capcom, you gave us Street Fighter IV, now deliver Breath of Fire VI for the fans.

Saint Anima

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> about time. i've almost bought this game twice now but the wii rumours were holding me back, and i was feeling guilty as i was witholding cash for a game i knew i really wanted that needed support (apologies to Clover Studio's - its a great shame they're finished)

now though im glad i waited as from what i can tell its going to be perfect on the wii.

Grum

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> ooooooooo :D

About damned time I say!

Now wheres my bloody Dead Rising 2.

Witzbold

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Yessssss.

@Mokona: Considering Okami was never a full price game to begin with (I bought it the week it came out and it was only 40 dollars instead of the usual 50), I'm sure that Capcom will continue that trend with this version.

Stormrider

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Capcom is suddenly in the business of making fans extremely happy!

Toasticus

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I think it's great that it's coming out on another system, opening a great game up to a new audience, but can people please stop saying that this game was "made for the wii"? It's a great game with a mechanic that could work pretty good with motion controls... provided that you're good enough with the imprecise recognition to make it work. A lot of people can't. Just get a bunch of people together with wiiplay and fire up some laser hockey if you don't believe me.

ihatepeterh

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> Same here... I rented it and couldn't finish it after 22 hours (according to some FAQs I consulted, I was about two thirds there).

I'll gladly play this. I really hope Capcom gives the same "lower price" approach it used with RE4, then I'll definitely pick it up. I'd be a bit annoyed at paying full price for a 2 year-old game...

Mokona

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> I'm not entirely surprised. My original copy is working just fine, but I may not feel that way when it comes closer to releasing.

As much as I felt the mecahnics worked fine on the PS2, it's very much like Okami was built for the Wii. Or, as you suggested, the other way around.

Heliophage

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> This pleases me greatly. While I already own it on PS2 I'll plop down the cash to own it again if only to support this amazing game.

Ollivander

]]> <![CDATA[Okami Wii Confirmed]]> *FAN BOY SQUEAL* Omg, I can't wait. I rented that game, loved it, was sad when the orig studio closed and now on my wii, I get to, "Finnish the fight". lol. YES!
