Wii News from N4G | Okami

Wii - Okami - Wii Okami bumped to April 15

Gamespot writes: "In laying out its release lineup for the first half of the year in mid January, Nintendo gave the game's fervent following happy tidings, marking Okami for release on March 25. However, that reveal now appears to have been premature, as Capcom has today confirmed to GameSpot that Okami's prowl has been postponed three weeks to April 15."

Capcom confirms full widescreen mode for Okami

Wii News from N4G | Okami

Wii - Okami - Capcom confirms full widescreen mode for Okami

Videogamer reports that according to correspondence from Capcom PR, the final version of Okami for Wii will sport a fully functional 16x9 mode and not the bordered version seen in the early screen shots.

"I know you guys are lovin' the Okami Wii goodness right now. It's about to get even better because we've got a fresh build coming your way next week," Capcom told IGN. "You might have noticed the aspect ratio was a little off. We did too, and the build you're receiving will display in full 16:9 (no black bars on the sides). Now you'll get to experience the game the way it was intended to be seen."

Sadly there's still no confirmation that the canvas filter seen in the PS2 game will be implemented in the Wii version.

GDC: Okami deserves glory second time around

Wii News from N4G | Okami

Wii - Okami - GDC: Okami deserves glory second time around

Unlike most standout videogames sucked into the quicksand of mediocrity, the game-buying public has been afforded a second chance with Okami, because wolf-god Amaterasu, evil demon Orochi, inch-high artist Issun, and the mighty powers of the Celestial Brush are coming to the Nintendo Wii.

M&C Gaming truly hopes that the motion-sensing attributes of the Wii -- which are perfectly suited for Okami's various battle and gameplay-related brush strokes -- cause gamers to sit up, take note, and grab the chance to lose themselves in one of the greatest games of the last decade.

Okami Wii Still 4:3? Nope, 16:9 Confirmed!

Wii News from N4G | Okami

Wii - Okami - Okami Wii Still 4:3? Nope, 16:9 Confirmed!

Kotaku reports in a listing for the upcoming Wii port of Okami on their company store, Capcom have posted a bunch of screenshots (the button prompts show it is indeed the Wii version). Tiny, tiny screenshots. Which are very, very concerning. With extra content out of the question, there were only two things that would set the Wii version apart from the PS2 one: Wii Remote brush control and 16:9. A product update on the very same page now shows that the game's been confirmed to support 16:9, 480p widescreen.

Capcom Sr. Director on the future of Okami

Wii - Okami - Capcom Sr. Director on the future of Okami

In the official Capcom forums, MrFaptastic asked:

"I've been wondering a bit what the point of porting Okami is. I know in the past it's been stated that you guys felt that the game deserved a second chance and such...but what about the future? Is this a move to simply try and turn a better profit on the game? Or are you guys trying to give it a second shot at becoming a franchise and making sequels?

Basically, if Okami Wii sells well, are sequels even a remote possibility?"

Here's the full response from Christian Svensson, Capcom Vice-President of Strategic Planning & Business Development:

"Technically, yes but I think that's an outside chance. We have reasonable but modest expectations for the title. I'll be very disappointed if we can't hit those.

On that outside chance it happens to 'destroy' said expectations, we'd have to think hard about new content (though admittedly, that's even quite difficult without Kimea's and Inaba's brilliant input on the project).

Editing: For you media or forum crossposters, please don't position this as 'OMG Okami sequel confirmed total!' as it's not that. It's an obvious statement of, if this thing blows up, then we have to consider what it means to the future of the brand."

Okami dev critical of current games market

Wii News | Okami

Jan 16, 2008 Choosing a console to develop for in the current generation is a tough decision it seems, as ex-Clover boss and Okami producer Atsushi Inaba points out the issues with all three platforms. Inaba, who's now in the top seat at the newly-formed Seeds studio, highlights Nintendo's dominance of software sales with its first-party titles as the key problem with Wii and DS. "The Wii and the DS are selling very well, but in terms of software Nintendo is obviously the best-selling ...

Trusted Reviews: Top 20 Games of the Year: Part One

Wii News from N4G | Okami

Wii - Okami - Trusted Reviews: Top 20 Games of the Year: Part One

Trusted Reviews: Games of the Year - Part One.

As our Andy noted back in November, it has been a fantastic year for games, In fact, it's arguably been the best year ever. However, all that bounty has left us in a dilemma. We originally planned a top ten list for the end of the year, but looking at the long list of titles we've been forced to expand that to twenty - and even then we've had to sacrifice a few of our darlings and lose a couple of still great franchise updates that we felt didn't quite do enough to justify inclusion: Sorry Unreal Tournament III and Sega Rally, apologies Guitar Hero III, Football Manager 2008 and Pro Evo.
