(pant pant) phew! I'm sorry, that's the best I can do, and I don't think it's very good
I apologize to any francophone who happens to come along and see my butchering of his/her language! EDIT: Here's the other article, with my meager translation. AGAIN I'M SORRY OH PLEASE FORGIVE ME GAHHHHH....
"Despite its innovative universe and gameplay, Okami hasn't encountered the sales success that Capcom hoped of it on Sony's console. Probably in order to amortize its investment and to take advantage of its install base, Capcom announces the next outing of Okami on Wii. The question everyone is asking is obviously, who is going to take over development now that the original developer, Clover Studios, has closed its doors."

I never played this game, but a friend loved it, and I know he would buy it again, and I would buy it for the first time.

It literally says "based off the PS2 version".

Also, Please post if you find a source that is better than the one there. Capcom did do their talk today, so this very well might be true. Let's keep looking for a real source.

That is true they had their talk today . . . and never mentioned okami. . . unless this source knows more than Capcom has released, I am calling bogus until better sources prevail. I take weak capcom port announcements with a grain of salt and pounds of lemons.

I hope that every company that releases a sequel, port, or original title for the Wii this holiday season rake in the money, so that the 3rd parties that have supported the Wii really get a boost in sales.
I know I am buying Raving Rabbids 2 and Call of Duty Heroes 2. I am also thinking about getting Guilty Gear.

It is.
Their correspondent called them back from London to tell them the news, and one of the news was that Okami is coming to Wii.
I'm still in the doubt about this...but that's just because I have it for the PS2, I haven't played it yet, and if this is true I will have to trade it in for the Wii version...damn.

From what I got, Okami for the Wii, Lost Planet for the PS3, and Bionic Commando "is walking to consoles of new generation.."
Also, Street Fighter 4 teaser. Seeing as how the European gaming press got wind of Nights before the American press did, This is shaping up to be the real deal. Plus, why would a correspondent list one piece of confirmed news, and the rest fanboy wet dreams?

For the record, I never said I didn't like Megaman. Megaman 1 - 3 are INSTA-BUY when they release on the VC.

"A long-time players' fantasy, then rumored several times, Okami has been confirmed on the Wii.
Slated for an early 2008 release, it is, of course, based on the PS2 version that everyone already knows, and will allow you to use the paint brush with the Wiimote. A rumor originating from Capcom that will cheer up Wii's owners lacking killer apps right now."
Sounds weird though because the Clover team doesn't exist anymore... Are we getting a cheap and lazy port once again?!
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on October 17, 2007, 10:30:59 PM
And Okami definitely is not a killer app, if that's how they're trying to associate it.
Post by: KDR_11k on October 17, 2007, 11:35:58 PM
I doubt they'll keep the pressure sensitive paint button since the Wii has no such thing but I don't think there was ever a situation where you needed it.

But I did link to this thread in the rumor thread, cause I know Okami has been rumored and denied by Capcom for quite some time.
If true, its about time they came to their senses. Now they need to bring Commando over to WiiWare, and all will be forgiven for now.

My question is, WHY is Capcom so redudant on announcing the Okami port? I mean, the RE 4 rumors surfaced they answered right away. Yet when the Okami rumors surfaced they kept denying it and now that its been "confirmed" they haven't come out and made a big deal about it.
Doesn't anyone find this weird?
Quote
I'll definitely be buying this. I've heard nothing but good things about it and it would be too awesome if an original PS2 game were to sell more when ported to a Nintendo system instead of the other way around.
I don't know, Okami never appealed to me. It just looked like one of those games people OVERHYPE like crazy.
I'll try the Wii version if its truly coming to the system but I am not expecting the masterpiece people make it out to be.

Everyone here at NWR finds it a little weird I believe. It's strange that all these European places are running it and Capcom hasn't spammed out a press release yet. I'm remaining skeptical and still looking for the ultimate confirmation.
Post by: Crimm on October 18, 2007, 08:01:56 AM
"Resident Evil 4 will not be on the PS2" indeed.
"Lost Planet is an Xbox 360 exclusive" yes, sir.

Good to know that I am not the only one skeptical about this. I mean, if its true that Okami was confirmed at their conference why hasn't anyone outside of Europe reported on it? Everyone talked about Street Fighter 4, Lost Planet PS3, Apollo Justice, Wii Love Golf and other stuff, yet Okami is absent from that list and everyone has confirmed it...except Capcom.
Like I said, when the RE 4 rumors surfaced weeks later CAPCOM came out and confirmed it. But they have been denying the existence of Okami Wii for a year now and now that its been "confirmed" Capcom has stayed quiet.
I'm not saying that it isn't happening, just saying that for a major Wii game that just been confirmed everyone except the fanboys and the Europeans has been quiet about it...Its just weird.
Long story short, don't get too excited people. But its seems too late now...
Post by: NWR_pap64 on October 18, 2007, 08:16:58 AM
That would explain why Capcom has stayed quiet while everyone is running around with the news. In any case, I think its wise to wait and see.

I hope they put some effort in the port, but I doubt it will happen, I'll buy it anyway.
Post by: The Sailerman on October 18, 2007, 10:35:28 AM
I never owned a PS2, so I was really hoping for Okami to be ported to Wii.
Now we just need to persuade Kojima to put Metal Gear Solid 3 on Wii, and I'll have no more desire to purchase a PS2.
I mean, he's gotta pay Nintendo back for putting Snake in Brawl somehow, right?

My only close friend with a PS2 (I know, hard to believe, right?) only owns sports games and the Guitar Hero games, so I never even had a chance to play Okami, or any PS2 exclusive game for that matter (except Guitar Hero).
