Okami Creator Itching for Sequel

The creator or Okami told kotoku that he would really like to create a Okami 2. But he said the only problem is its not his choice but Capcom's choice. He also revealed that Clover studios was not closed because of poor sales but because he had a argument with Capcom.
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 more, Kamiya tells our insider that the dissolution of Clover had nothing to do with poor Okami sales. Rather, producer Atsushi Inaba had an argument with Capcom management.

    Oh man... if they could resolve their differences and come out with Okami 2... that'd be amazing. Okami was such a detailed game, unique in every way...

    I regret not playing Okami sooner. Had the game since it's release and only played through it last month, heh...loved it. I would like a sequel, who knows what they can do with the SIXAXIS.

    The game seems perfectly suited to the Wii or DS. The style, the brush stroke gameplay, and the graphical design would be in good company. Honestly, when I saw the trailer for Okami, I thought it was a Wii title.

    I thought the same thing. I just hope they make one because Okami was a good game.
