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)?

Smash_Brother · « **Reply #2 on:** October 17, 2007, 08:34:50 AM »

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

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #3 on:** October 17, 2007, 08:44:26 AM »

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."

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #5 on:** October 17, 2007, 08:52:21 AM »

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.

decoyman · « **Reply #6 on:** October 17, 2007, 09:06:11 AM »

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?!

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #7 on:** October 17, 2007, 09:10:15 AM »

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...

ShyGuy · « **Reply #8 on:** October 17, 2007, 09:19:27 AM »

It literally says "based off the PS2 version".

Pale · « **Reply #11 on:** October 17, 2007, 09:47:51 AM »

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.

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.

I claim no mastery of Portuguese, but its similar to Spanish. Here's what I got.

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. I just haven't actually physically bought a Megaman title... and now that everyone's making out that these new megaman games are lackluster, I may stick to the originals. (Or a Wii version! PLZ?!?!)

Ghisy · « **Reply #35 on:** October 17, 2007, 10:24:43 PM »

I'll attempt some translation (keep in mind I'm French but I'm not the best when it comes to translating!).

"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?!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #36 on:** October 17, 2007, 10:30:59 PM »

We're not lacking killer apps. We won't be lacking killer apps then, either.

And Okami definitely is not a killer app, if that's how they're trying to associate it.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #37 on:** October 17, 2007, 11:35:58 PM »

A sequel wouldn't really work with Okami, it's basically a collection of japanese mythology. The story ends where it does. What I'd be worried about is a REALLY sloppy port that would have analog stick control for the paintbrush.

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.

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.

...Is this official? Seriously, if Okami was truly confirmed everyone that was at the event would've been talking about and Capcom would've released a press release by 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?

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...

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #57 on:** October 18, 2007, 08:16:58 AM »

I did some more research and supposedly Capcom WAS going to drop an Okami megaton tomorrow, but some people leaked the news hence why some sites claim that Okami Wii has been confirmed.

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.

Crimm · « **Reply #58 on:** October 18, 2007, 08:17:58 AM »

Well the Europeans are big on it because it happened in London. The big sites are probably waiting either under embargo or are just sort of sitting on their hands, waiting for a press release. Or, like us, feel cautious about it.
