Capcom announces Okami for Nintendo Wii

shuandrew | October 17, 2007 | News | Wii

Capcom has today announced that it is developing its originally PS2-only action-adventure, Okami, for the Nintendo Wii.

The title, which was well received by the critics, unfortunately, was not met with the same respect from consumers, despite a brilliant art style and original gameplay mechanics.

In Okami, players assume the role of the wolf-embodied sun god Amaterasu to set the world straight after the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned it into a wasteland. The action-adventure title was originally released for the Sony PlayStation 2 last year to great a great critical reception, so perhaps the firm’s decision to bring it to Wii will be more fruitful.

So, this is actually confirmed now? No longer just a rumour?

If so, this is great! That painting mechanic would work excellently with the Wii remote, and this is a game I missed out on. It never sold very well, so hopefully it gets the attention it (supposedly) deserves this time around. A $30 price point, like Capcom's RE4: Wii Edition, would make this a must-buy. Hopefully they will have a few extra additions (and a graphical update), as well.

If this is true, I'm surprised they are just announcing it now. People have been begging for it for ages.

The original site is still waiting for further confirmation on this revelation so it's still technically a rumor at this point.

I almost lost my mind for a second. I thought it was okami 2 for the wii. If its okami 1 im okay with that. It will be kind of cool with the wii controller.

When I fist saw this game for the PS2, I thought it was a Wii title. It seems perfectly suited to the system.

Ah, good. Okami is a great game. I thought for a second, by the title, that this was Okami 2, but this is good too.

  Doubtful, they already disbanded Clover and the original team members are residing in a new studio. Capcom is far from being good in this case. I do wonder who they plan to dig up to do the control system at this point.
