That said, it is pretty obvious that Okami is a Zelda ripoff... I mean, it's probably a great rip-off, but just look at the box art with the wolf. Twilight Princess, anyone?

Okami is not a Zelda rip off at all, they both have wolves, but so what? Okami came out months before Twilight Princess, they're two separate games.

In its defense, both Okami and Twilight Princess started development around the same time, and Okami ended up being shown off first...The fact that both sport wolves is purely coincidence...

That said, the game IS definitely inspired by Zelda games in general, and I believe the producers even admitted the fact...

I am super annoyed at Capcom right now.

Why do they keep on porting games?

But, this is one game I am pleased they are porting to the Wii. I have wanted to play this game for a very long time, and I have a feeling this game will be worth every annoyance Capcom has put us Wii Gamers.

Hopefully, if it garners enough sales, it will show Capcom that hardcore games like this deserve to be on Nintendo's console at all times. Hmm... the Resident Evil games have done exceptionally well on the Wii, too.

Who knows? I want Street Fighter 4 on the Wii, though. I don't care about a graphics downgrade. Just give me the freakin' game. There's Cube AND Classic controller support... so there's NO excuses!

Surely RE4:Wii, REUC, and Z&W sales weren't enough to prove this point, so Capcom is using an incredibly niche game to try and prove that hardcore gamers don't exist in the Wii userbase...

next Wii game by Capcom: God Hand

I'll probably buy this, but won't play it until at least after I unlock everything in Brawl. A good game, especially a 3rd party Wii game, deserves my money.

And honestly, I think we'll see stronger support from Capcom. There's too much money to be made on the Wii. That's the bottomline. A brand new Resident Evil game based on the RE4 engine is entirely possible and I'm sure it'll happen. That game is a goldmine waiting to happen.

Mikintosh · « **Reply #32 on:** February 15, 2008, 01:26:20 AM »

I told myself I wasn't going to get another Zelda-esque game until I finally finished the ones I had, and so while I recently completed Twilight Princess, I'm going to wait until I finish Star Fox Adventures (of all things) before I think about picking this one up. Still, good move on Capcom's part.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #33 on:** February 15, 2008, 01:34:23 AM »

I just might go for this, show some Wii support.

STOP ENCOURAGING THEM!

Adrock · « **Reply #36 on:** February 15, 2008, 02:21:54 AM »

As long as they aren't lazy ports, I'd rather have them than not have them.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #37 on:** February 15, 2008, 02:46:26 AM »

If I weren't only barely into Twilight Princess and I didn't expect to have my hands full with Brawl when this comes out I'd probably get this.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #38 on:** February 15, 2008, 03:01:23 AM »

16:9 and 480p have now been (apparently) confirmed...

In honesty, I'd like that too. I even own a PS2

Urkel · « **Reply #40 on:** February 15, 2008, 04:07:44 AM »

I consider all these PS2 to Wii ports an admission from 3rd parties that they should have released these games on the Cube in the first place. I mean, who do they expect is going to buy them now if they didn't the first time around?

Non-gamers? Yeah, right.
PS2 owners? They didn't care about it then, they wont care now.
Nintendo gamers? Bingo.

If you think about it this is happening because 3rd parties effed up twice: First when they ignored the Gamecube, and second because they didn't see fit to develop for Wii until it became popular so they need to fill the void with something.

I wont be buying Okami on Wii because I bought it shortly after it came out on PS2. I decided not to wait and see if it would get ported because it made too much sense. Also, Capcom had proven they were more than willing to port exclusives from Nintendo platforms, but not the other way around.

Personally, I found the game to be a little overrated. It's good, but it really doesn't do a whole lot that hasn't already been done in Zelda. And it IS a Zelda clone, though the combat is quite different, and the bosses are excellent and reasonably challenging.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #41 on:** February 15, 2008, 04:50:02 AM »

I will be buying this game at some point, especially if they price it at RE4:Wii pricing.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #42 on:** February 15, 2008, 05:38:04 AM »

Okami was the child the stork mistakingly brought to the wrong family.
The damage is already done, it'll grow up in a secluded, emo, drug-abused life.

Okami: Rehab Edition won't make a difference, as Capcom still has no clue how to market it.

Capcom. Maker of dead franchises.

Discussion of what makes a Zelda game "Zelda" and how that compares to Okami has been moved here.

Not that I don't trust you Bill, but where'd you get this info?

Right here, straight from the horse's mouth. Definitely good news, glad I held out to pick this one up.

"New" widescreen support could be anything like

"fake" widescreen support in RE4 Wii Edition (minor upscaling)

"compatible" widescreen support in Mario BORDERS ARE AWESOME Party 8

Until decent screens are out, Okami has phailscreen support.

Sagatron · « **Reply #47 on:** February 15, 2008, 09:28:58 PM »

I have this game for the PS2, but since the announcement that it would be coming to the Wii, I stopped playing my PS2 version. I think I'll trade my PS2 version in and buy this one if the reviews are as good as the first one. It will be rather interesting to be able to use the Wiimote for the brush strokes.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #48 on:** February 16, 2008, 03:29:21 AM »

Real 16:9 confirmed...
