I'm calling BS on this one. The sources are too weird.

But today Capcom announced Street Fighter 4, too. You never know...

If its true very few, if anyone at all, from the original will be involved. They all hated the idea of putting it on the Wii

TVC15 · « **Reply #2 on:** October 17, 2007, 04:25:40 PM »

The game probably wouldn't work too well on the Wii, to be completely honest. The drawing shit wasn't really a major part of the game, and that's the only reason people ever said OMG WII about the game.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #3 on:** October 17, 2007, 04:26:05 PM »

So, let's see here. A game that, while awesome, sold poorly on a system that had a userbase a hundred times larger than the Wii...

If you never owned a PS2 (what the hell is wrong with you?!?), I can see this being good news... I guess.

Okami sucks

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #5 on:** October 17, 2007, 04:28:40 PM »

the developers said in an egm interview that a) the game would not work well on the wii due to the wii's button layout; and b) they thought the wii hardware was crap.

Himu · « **Reply #6 on:** October 17, 2007, 04:31:28 PM »

The drawing would not work well on wii. Wiimote is too big to compliment the relaxing controls of Okami.

Would be funny if this was announced just to see the inevitable riot that breaks out in NeoGAF.

I still haven't opened my PS2 copy of the game up yet.

TVC15 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 17, 2007, 05:15:14 PM »

I don't think it would really be a riot. Moreso a lot of people eating crow because they didn't think this would happen. The game really doesn't have the fanbase for a full-on riot.

TVC15 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 17, 2007, 09:34:58 PM »

Yeah, but that's not going to happen. The game isn't getting remade because they want to remake it, it's getting made because the original kinda bombed and they can still make money off the original without making new assets.

Monster hunter didn't really have a fanbase there and yet GAF exploded over that one.

That was the case of one of the most successful franchises of the PS2 gen defecting though. Even if it wasn't popular anywhere but Japan, it's still a big deal.

OMG A NEW PORT

I guess Okami is simple enough that the casual type people would be able to fair well enough in it. This just comes off as a pointless cash grab to me.

TVC15 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 18, 2007, 01:02:09 PM »

Actually, maybe they should try to improve Okami. It's one of those rare cases where it would probably be a better game if a significant portion of its lengthy, pretty-but-boring intro had a coat hanger jabbed into it.

Also, and this is probably a pipe dream and will be impossible due to the Wii's shitty RAM: I wish the closed arena combat would go away. The way the bubble sphere would pop up during every random encounter. It wasn't exactly a downer, but it kinda hurt the feeling of scope.

TVC has it right: the brush isn't utilized much outside boss fights until your arsenal of strokes builds up and that really isn't until the games closure. I suspect they're going to add in waggle attacks a la Twilight Princess to make up for this. :x

Okami Brushes with Wii this Spring
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3163761

Capcom officially announces rumored port.
By Steve Watts, 10/18/2007
After yesterday's leak gaping hole from the Capcom press event in London, it seemed like all the nifty surprises had been ruined. But wait, one more!
As reported by Eurogamer, Capcom announced at their London media briefing that their critical darling Okami would be making its way onto Wii in Spring 2008. Also worth noting: Quartermann totally called it.

For those uninitiated to the game, the former PlayStation 2-exclusive title was often compared to Zelda for its combination of action, platforming and puzzles, and saw the hero Amaterasu painting brush strokes on the screen for combat and puzzles. Seems like an obvious fit for Wii, doesn't it? There will also be motion-controlled attacks.

We have a man on the floor of the London event, so as soon as the embargo lifts, you'll hear all the details from him.

No.

"There will also be motion-controlled attacks."

Himu · « **Reply #36 on:** October 18, 2007, 03:51:32 PM »

How will you being able to draw bombs with Wiimote. Drawing is completely different from making simple gestures like in Twilight Princess. If pulling off the shield move in the Wii version of TP is impossible, I don't how the hell they'll be able to make Okami's drawing work.

Himu · « **Reply #37 on:** October 18, 2007, 03:53:44 PM »

you're just saying that

Robo · « **Reply #38 on:** October 18, 2007, 03:55:56 PM »

I don't understand why you think the drawing would be even remotely difficult. The game pauses, you draw a half-shitty circle and stick a line in it. What is it about the waggle wand that makes this hard?

Bloodwake · « **Reply #39 on:** October 18, 2007, 03:58:39 PM »

I'll probably pick it up since I never picked it up for PS2, just borrowed it.

The game's pretty good, it's only a step lower than Twilight Princess IMO, and it has a lot of classic Capcom staples, such as fighting the same bosses several fucking times. Believe me, you get pretty goddamn good at fighting Orochi.

Make the battles occur in the overworld instead of transitioning to a battlefield, and make the drawing work as soon as you point at the screen or in some way quickly and I may finish this version.

I thought the staff from Clover broke off from Capcom. So I would assume that not all the original team is on this.
all that equals Remake am Total.
Right?

Ruzzy woulda liked Okami, Ico and Katamari if he had a ps3. Or at least, given Nintendo gaming tastes, he would have liked those games.

I do look forward to playing Okami with a proper analog stick though! Fuck the ds2 stick!
