Great news if true.  Even if it's just a rush job port I won't mind as long as it's at least semi-technically competent.  I don't read French; any word on a release date (more specific than the 2008 I saw in the link)?
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

If this is true, then Capcom is definitely getting back in the game.

Oh please, please, please...I came so close to buying the game over the Summer and would much rather be playing on a system with a controller that doesn't make me want to chunk it out the window...

"Long dreamed by gamers, claimed in numerous rumors, Okami is finally confirmed on Wii. Slated for release in 2008, it is evidently based on the respectable Playstation 2 version that everyone is already familiar with, and lets you paint lines with the help of the Wiimote. A rumor originating with Capcom, and which is sure to charm Wii owners lacking in big-name titles."

(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."

If this happens it will be a must buy game for me.  Hopefully it will add new content...perhaps an extra dungeon or side quest.

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.

Well, the second and first articles (at least, if I'm understanding them correctly), seem to contradict themselves a bit. The first makes it sounds like it may be a port, while the second uses the term "prochain sortie," which I took to mean, "next outing," which could mean a sequel. Until someone comes in with better command of French, I'm not sure!

Who on the board is a native French speaker?!

The wording in the first link could also mean that the game is "based off the franchise that is on PS2," so the wording could ultimately mean port or sequel...I'm just going to go with port, though, because this is Capcom...

It literally says "based off the PS2 version".

Part of me hopes this isn't true, as Okami for ps2 is sitting sealed on my shelf, and you all know I'll buy it for Wii if it comes out and play it there.

Hurray for wasting money!

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.

While I will probably buy an Okami Wii Version, I would love to see a port of God Hand, but that will never happen because Okami at least had the media raving about it while God Hand did not have anyone really.

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.

All implications from the articles are that it would be a port..

I still haven't beaten Okami on PS2... I got about 20 hours in and stopped because Twilight Princess came out.

You know a port is better than nothing.  I wonder how many ports would have to better than expected before companies start making original titles for the Wii.

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.

Nintendo Fans: WE ARE POOR AND DESPERATE FOR FOOD CAPCOM PLEASE FEED US

Capcom:  :: fixes manacle in eye :: oh its those beggars again Charles. . . . do we have anything?

Charles:  Oh sir I think we have some left over game concepts, ports, and half assed teams to make some video games. . .

Capcom:  Oh jolly good then give them a port, then again I could make another crappy megaman spinoff. . . . meh give them a port

Charles: Oh here you raving maniacs we give you a port now go leave us alone, we have to make games for the 360 and Ps3 that dont make us money~!

Nintendo fans: HEY WE DON'T WANT A PORT WE WANT ORIGINAL IDEAS OUR CONSOLE AND HANDHELD HAS BY FAR THE BEST USERBASE

Capcom:  Is that them bickering again!?  ::Shouts out the window at the mob :: YOU SILLY LITTLE INGRIDS YOU GET WHAT WE FEED YOU OR NO SUPPORT AT ALL!

Nintendo fans: :: all become quiet and softly eat their port ::
