It seems they are putting okami on the Wii. http://games.slashdot.org/article.pl?si ... 8&from=rss
i think they just moving the PS2 version to the Wii to take advantage of the Wiimote abilities. when i first saw it i was hopping fot a new Okami game. but i dont think thats it. but its still cool. im gona buy it just so i have A reason to play the game again xD.

This is the best news that has reached my ears for a long time.
It's a no-brainer that I'll be getting this version of Okami.

Personally, I think this'll raise the chances for and Okami sequel in the future provided that the Wii version actually sells as many copies as it was suppose to (and deserves) back when it was released on the PS2. Even so, the chances of a sequel are still rather small.

i dont want a sequel. reason is. is cuz Clover Studios wont be making the game. and everytime a difrent team trys to make a game from another company.. it turns out to be crap... well as far that i have seen. crash and spyro a perfect examples of that.

Its awesome news for people who didnt beat the game almost 100% heh.

I'm pretty happy to see that this is true; there were rumors on IGN of Okami for the Wii. Even though I own the PS2 version, I can see myself getting Okami for the Wii, too.

This game is perfect for the Wii.

I'm surprised this cross-over didn't happen earlier.

that's cool. now it will be easier to draw things! yay!

So it looks like Clover finally finished up its contract with Capcom... and Capcom is now porting O-kami to the Wii? Hording more money to Capcom... bleh.

Anywho, I guess rumors were actually true; they just needed time for Clover to finish up and leave. I guess now I have to go out and purchase 2 more copies of O-kami for my collection (2 Japanese releases and 2 USA releases).

that would be cool!!

I wonder how they would make Õkami work with Wii? O_o
Gotta look weird when you "paint" stuff in thin air xD

Painting like that shouldn't feel too weird if you're experienced with the Wii.
I've tested all of the brush strokes used in Okami in the Photo Channel's paint mode, and I have to say, it's easy not weird to do. Even the pressure feature for the brush (programmed to the 'triangle button' on the PS2) works well with the Wii's ability to sense the Wiimote in a 3D space (push or pull the wiimote towards or away from the TV for a different sized brush stroke).
