First the botched box art,

You mean lazily put together box art. A watermark doesn't butcher a pic.

lack of bloom

You mean the rice texture? I've seen videos, and the bloom is there in the Wii version, sometimes brighter than the PS2 version (which I have).

freeze ups & glitches throughout the game

This is the first time I heard of that.

then poor use of the Wii's pointer abilities and motion controls

From what I heard, they work. They just have a higher learning curve.

now this.

That's I'll give, but as a knock against Capcom, not against this game.

So yes people, not only were the credits cut out by the end cinematics as well.

"The credits were part of a cut scene that had the actual ending in it.

They didn't just cut the credits, they cut off the ending of the game."

No, just the credits part. The stories on the game blogs make that clear.

Not cool, but it's also not cool to bash this game over this. To place any of the blame where it doesn't belong is to excuse those who are truly to blame.

It really depends how important the credits+the ending is the whole situation feels wierd. I got the game maybe it is time to finish it.

I've beaten the game and the end cinematics that were part of the credits are gone too.

Depending on how you play the game and how long you play you get a unique and different ending sequence through the credits. Namely the part where Issun reveals he is the narrator and finishes up the story of Okami through his words.

That all has been removed

i hate watching credits anyways

Its not just the credits, its the ending of the game.

THEY CUT OUT THE ENDING OF THE GAME!!! READ THE WHOLE POST FIRST!!!

well they SHOULD have done a like for like port with added extras because i think okami is 100% suited to the wii, plus they will make a lot of sales of it.

i hate when games are gimped knowing it will sell anyways.

ps. Onimusha12 please please please can you change that .gif you have? i dont mind the avatar lol but the animated .gif cringes me, in fact il give you £1 in paypal if you take it off?

Joystiq posted a video of the deleted part. It's just the credits.

Link please.
