I ordered all three to different addresses. Haven't seen any of them.

vudu · « **Reply #427 on:** September 29, 2008, 02:18:51 PM »

This is why Capcom hasn't sent any out yet. They sold 100,000 copies of the game and 400,000 artwork sleeves were ordered. Hmmm ...

Also, I just realized that this game wasn't released on Japan on Wii. What gives?

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #428 on:** September 29, 2008, 03:44:04 PM »

... It should have sold more than 100,000. Didn't it?

vudu · « **Reply #429 on:** September 29, 2008, 03:55:52 PM »

Not according to the almighty VG Chartz.

In the game's defense, the PS2 version didn't sell much better.

Capcom should mail all the artwork anyway and consider it a marketing expense. I'm sure some of the people who ordered it will go on to purchase or at least rent the game. Also, there are people like me who already bought it on PS2.

I fail to see your point.

You purchased a game and got exactly what you paid for. You're not entitled to free artwork that's being sent to owners of the Wii port. I realize it's a leap, but what's the difference between that and thinking you have the right to pirate a PC game because you own the Xbox 360 version?

Hey proud to announce I received my Okami covers today!

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #433 on:** October 15, 2008, 10:59:17 PM »

Could I see it?

DAaaMan64 · « **Reply #434 on:** October 15, 2008, 11:41:54 PM »

I moved to Redmond several months ago, it's at my parents house in Spokane.

I'll be able to pick them up on Halloween when I drive back for parties.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #435 on:** October 15, 2008, 11:48:04 PM »

Ok.

Did anybody else get their covers?

Okami is probably the best Zelda since OOT or MM for me... Maybe.

Can't touch Wind Waker.

It can touch it, beat it up, and cook it for dinner.

Just imagine what it could do to TP

Okami is the best Zelda since Phantom Hourglass... =)

Please don't ever make timed repeating dungeons look so good.

Oh, didn't make it sound awesome enough? My bad... =)

I both evny and hate you right now. At least you like FLCL. *respect knuckles*

that Baby guy · « **Reply #442 on:** October 16, 2008, 08:49:14 PM »

I haven't seen mine yet. I'm in FL, so I'll let you all know when they come in, just for comparisons. It's been a looooooong time, though, hasn't it. I bought the game, what, in April? Ordered the cover in May?

Djunknown · « **Reply #443 on:** October 18, 2008, 01:41:38 AM »

Got mine today, and got both cover options, which were reversible to show the original art, sans IGN logo or Play's 9.5 out of 10. Slipped it in, now it looks respectable. Don't know what to do with the spare one, maybe get it laminated...

Better late than never, but hey, Capcom was cool to give you all the options.

bustin98 · « **Reply #444 on:** October 22, 2008, 12:52:12 PM »

I got mine today, but it was two of the same. Still, they're better than the original.

Whoever shipped them was in such a hurry that the envelope wasn't even sealed. They were slightly sticking out when I got it.

mac<censored> · « **Reply #445 on:** October 24, 2008, 10:12:56 PM »

Yeah, WTF is the deal with the Japanese release? It was scheduled originally, then delayed, and now...what?

[I've got a japanese wii so I presume I need the J version of the game]

mantidor · « **Reply #446 on:** October 26, 2008, 10:34:11 PM »

Finished!

and Okami is the best Zelda clone ever. Then again, is the only one I know

Zelda beats it completely anyway if you care to compare, Okami took the best Zelda ideas and crammed them together with a really pretty art style and a really nice gameplay mechanic, but unfortunately it can get old, specially because how long it is. Zelda pacing is impeccable.

I can't believe what I'm saying but its true and I just experienced it, TOO much of a good thing can be bad, and the length of the game harms it. Now I see more clearly what Nintendo and Miyamoto meant when talking about innovation and how you always have to throw fresh and new things for the player, constantly, because the novelty does wears off. I loved the art style so I was compelled to follow, but if the art and story didn't click with you I can see someone dropping the game.

Also another problem is that it's main platform wasn't the wii or ds, so the brush implementation is awfully simple and doesn't meet the potential the remote would have given to the game.

But besides that (and Issun, topping Navi as the most annoying character ever, who knew that was possible?) the game blew me away and I can't wait to replay it, after I get my backlog updated, damn lack of free time!

Caliban · « **Reply #447 on:** October 26, 2008, 11:52:25 PM »

Issun is not annoying, he's just upbeat.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #448 on:** October 27, 2008, 02:26:30 AM »

Issun IS annoying, but I pretty much hate all flirty/over-bearing characters in games...(Ex. Zelos)
