Just because it also has a wolf in it?

This game is about paint.

This game sould have been GC exclusive and would be perfect on the DS.
I know it and you know it too.

When I heard about this game I thought DS.  I mean you kill enemys by drawing caligraphy, if that doesn't sound like DS I don't know what does.

Careful. Capcom doesn't want anyone to know that.

It's made by the guys who brought you Viewtiful Joe.

It also happens to be using the Viewtiful Joe engine.

and Viewtiful Joe was a success in the GC (for being the game that it was) and a disaster in the ps2, so it makes total sense to make a game like Okami a ps2 exclusive [/sarcasm]

seriously, Im starting to really hate capcom.

Isn't this from Clover Studios?

The one Mikami joined/formed after threatening to cut his head off if RE4 was ported to the PS2?

And the difference in his new abode is what exactly?

It'd be dishonorable if he totally quit Capcom AFAIK.

Plus he has to show off his stylish, new money hat.

He's not a publisher, he doesn't get a cent from those money hats.

Actually Clover been around for awhile--it was an independant company started by capcom and he was a director there but he continued to work at Production studios until RE4 was finished.

And two, Okami was shown last year so it's actually the other way around in terms of someone stealing anohter's idea :0.

Well both games have been in planning long before they were shown, so we have really no idea who copied who, if anyone did at all...

Capcom forgot to make a GameCuub version.

I think Okami should come to Cube.  The Cube is better at cel shading anyways.

Well, yes, but Capcom disagrees, they believe GC users won't buy third party titles anyway so they're going with the PS2. Their per-game sales numbers on the PS2 are lower because they released a whole load of crap for the system.
