If there is one game that needed to be ported to the Wii, it's Okami.

Okami is easily the best PS2 title. This is great news.

Guaranteed 5 copies sold.

 

[Brainiac 8]

Guaranteed 5 copies sold.

Even though you're being sarcastic, mr sarcastic face, I think you are right in that prediction.

I mean the PS2 title only sold about 10 copies.

Okami, Psychonauts, Ico, Beyond Good & Evil....all four of these masterpieces fell to the not enough attention curse.

The first time I used a brush move in Okami, I thought "this game was practically built for the DS." The Wii is close enough.

Great news.

OkamWii damn it

Awesome news. The brush aspect definitely fits for the Wii. Now it will get the respect it deserves.

For the longest time I thought it was a DS game.

Ahh not a PS2 port....

Ahh not a PS2 port....

I'm not a fan of ports, but this was too perfect to not happen.

 

[rashad]

Ahh not a PS2 port....

That doesn't really matter. The fact that it's a great game being ported does.

How old is this game? Seems like a strange time to port it over - I liked the RE4 port though.

Okami came out Feb 2006.

I was totally smitten with the PS2-version, but like with every great game that ventures to be slightly different, the sales aren't nowhere near where they should be - instead we have people buying the same sports games year after year after year. And with Nintendo's marketing... it'll be tough.

I'm actually contemplating if I should get the Wii-version or not. I've already bought the PS2-version, and truthfully, why does it feel like I buy the same games over and over - I must've bought the first Resident Evil like... four or five times. There are other games, with the latest being the excellent RE4 Wii Edition.

I want original concepts and new games dagnabbit!

That said, Okami will be freaking awesome with the free-hand drawing function. I wish it will sell like crazy. I honestly do. Nintendo desperately needs a big hit from a 3rd party developer or it'll just be another Mario-console.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

I don't think this will be a straight up port.

 

[Son of Sun]

I don't think this will be a straight up port.

Well, let's hope it won't. More minigames utilizing the wiimote would be awesome.

 

[Sandman138]

I don't think this will be a straight up port.

According to these guys it will be. I'm glad, it would be insulting for these people to mess with Clover's masterpiece.

Ready at Dawn are the guys behind Daxter and God of War PSP, FYI. Personally I think there are some things they COULD change, but I guess they won't.

 

[Sandman138]

I'm not saying that they would do a terrible job of adding on, they could make some fantastic add ons. However, I think that this game was the greatest thing to come out of Clover Studios, it is already a masterpiece as it is and since none of the original creators were involved they should just work on making the brush system work perfectly with the wiimote. Especially because, as Malenfant said, there are people who haven't played the PS2 version (I'm betting a decent amount of Wii owners fit this category) and this will be their first introduction to it. That said, it really shouldn't be more than $29.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

Game came out today. Reviews have been good like the PS2 version.

 

[Sandman138]

I thought it was tomorrow.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

It is. I thought today was the 15th.
