...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?

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.

Pap,

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.

I'm pretty sold.  I just have to look at Capcom's porting history to see that this was almost inevitable.

"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...

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.

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.

This makes me very glad.

I hope they put some effort in the port, but I doubt it will happen, I'll buy it anyway.

Yes! I've been waiting forever for this kind of announcement.
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?

Thanks for the confirmation, GP!

And thanks to Ghisy for the back-up. I'm sorry for what I did earlier in the thread, and I only hope you and your people can forgive me.

Eurogamer has confirmed it, and Kotaku has used them for a source in their own reporting of the issue.

So, what do we know about Ready at Dawn?  I clicked on the link Bill provided and I see they're handling God of War PSP and they developed the Daxter on PSP, but there wasn't much more info.

Nice, now it's officially official!

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).

Though I haven't yet played Daxter on PSP, I've heard from several people that it was a more than competent game. I'm comfortable with them handling God of War on PSP and I'm not worried at all that their handling the Okami port to Wii. The port should be excellent and I'm looking forward to getting it on Wii. It was difficult waiting for a port. I'm just glad it's official.
