While everyone was busy gushing over Eitanya's plushified rendition of Garrus from Mass Effect, TK-Nation's Cassandra Khaw took it a step further and investigated the full extent of Eitanya's abilities.
Conclusion? She wants the Okami hat. Bad.
"ZeniMax, parent of Id Software and Bethesda Softworks, has just announced that they have just acquired Tango Gameworks, the studio directed by 20-year industry giant Shinji Mikami. Regarding the acquisition, Mikami had this to say..."
According to Capcom's latest financial report, the company was disappointed with the sales of Okami (Wii) and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.
However, they were pleased with the "satisfactory" sales of Monster Hunter 3, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite PSP the Best, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, and Mega Man EXE: Operate Shooting Star.
Wii and PS2 owners can now grab Capcom's artful game Okami for just 20 bones via their online shop. Considering it's "one of the most beautiful games ever made", you don't have much of an excuse, now do ya?
"Welcome to the fourth edition of The Twelve Games of Christmas; Electronic Theatres feature series highlighting the greatest performers of 2008, one month at a time! Today, we take a look at April 2008, the games that you liked, loved or missed altogether and can probably pick-up for a much more reasonable price in those January sales!"
"Not surprisingly, there is speculation as to which platform(s) the studio's next project will be for. It seems that whatever the hardworking dev puts out next, it probably won't be on Wii, either.
The developer told us today, "We don't have a single Wii game currently in development since Okami."
When we asked if that meant it was safe to assume the team's working on something for either Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3, we were told, "It's safe to assume we don't have a single Wii game curr..."
"Okamis European release date has changed more times than we have our underwear since it was first announced, and the latest word says that the games launch has been moved forward by a week.
Originally penned in for release on June 13 in Europe, reports suggest that Capcoms wondrous adventure title, and the best game you never played, will now be released on June 05.
That isnt far off at all, but we wouldnt be surprised if that date changes, oooh, three or four times before then. ..."
"The only Wii title that we can think of that has had anything close to the amount of speculation about its release in Europe as Super Smash Bros. Brawl is Capcoms Okami. After months of rumour and one notable delay, it has today been confirmed that the Sony PlayStation 2 port will arrive in the continent on June 13.
Yep, Okami will launch in Europe just weeks before Super Smash Bros. Brawl, reports LiveWii, which at least gives you ample time to immerse yourself in the title that is being..."
What's going on at Capcom? Has someone lost the Okami concept art?
Capcom stole Okami artwork from IGN to use on their box-art. And now BradyGames has used an IGN image on the Okami guide. This time the watermark is even more obvious ...
It appears Capcom's standards have fallen in recent years, no there isn't something wrong with Devil May Cry 4 or Lost Planet. The problem seems to be with Capcom's art division working on Okami for the Wii. It appears that rather than use one of their own pictures for the boxart they have taken to plundering IGN's image vault. Sure it's small and covered pretty well but when you look closely you can see IGN's logo
"Originally set for release towards the end of this month in both North America and Europe (and following suspicion brought about by placeholders on major online retailers), Capcom has spoken out to confirm that the launch of Okami for the Nintendo Wii has been held back by three weeks until April 15."
"Reports suggest Clover Studios spectacular action/RPG will not be appearing in PAL regions until some time in the summer. By direct comparison, lucky Wii gamers in the US will be able to snatch the game from retail shelves as early as March 25.
If true, this supposedly reliable insider information goes against Capcom Europes initial release projection for the region, which would place Okami in European stores before the close of spring."
When Okami first was announced for the Wii, everyone thought this would be a great addition to the Wii software library but after knowing it's a PS2 port, gamers have been flooding the Capcom forums saying not another PS2 port and other negative comments. Capcom did not ignore such opinions to be said through out the forum, Capcom actually retaliated. Capcom's senior director of strategic planning and research hit the forums and said that this isn't just a lazy PS2 port. Capcom selected Ready...

Bioshock was awarded the Best Game award while Wii Sports was capable of snatching 13 different awards allowing it to steal the show. Then Crackdown was able to snatch best Action and Adventure game & Use of Audio award. Moving on, Okami won the the Artistic Achievement award which isn't surprising at all & best Original Score. Th...
"Wii port or not, before I start, know: At the moment, Capcom has no concrete plans to make Okami 2, and nothing has been greenlit. However! Insiders tell us that Devil May Cry creator and Okami designer Hideki Kamiya really would like to make Okami 2. The Union Jack lovin' game creator is very interested in doing a sequel and has voiced this desire. Unfortunately, since the game is a Capcom/Clover title, it's not his decision to make. It's just something that he'd really like to do. What's mo..."
