We're talking about within the context of the comic, not in the context of release dates, also TP was announced/revealed in 2004. Okami isn't an TP wannabe and TP isn't an Okami wannabe; they play completely differently. However, in the comic, the entire joke hinges on the fact that apparently Okami is a rip off of Twilight Princess. If Okami is a rip off of Twilight Princess, that puts TP in a good position. If his joke won the internet, why does Aonuma kill himself?
