Okami for Wii confirmed!, sort of.

Nice. I from what I read on IGN this game always sounded good. In fact nearly every article about this game on IGN draws comparisons to Zelda series.

"...wholly beautiful and quite possibly the PS2's answer to Zelda....It might not quite be on the level of Zelda, but it's probably the closest thing we've ever seen outside of Nintendo, and that's saying a whole lot."

"Talking of upgradeable weapons, the overall structure will feel very familiar (and just as polished) to anyone with even a passing acquaintance of The Legend of Zelda series."

"The game's progression is somewhat Zelda-esque in that you'll travel from town to town while cleaning up the land and will be presented with new goals, some of which directly tie into the game's storyline and some of which are sort of side missions that allow you to gain additional powers."

Go to IGN's http://ps2.ign.com/objects/678/678618.html page and you can see pics and videos. This game is very Zelda-esque. Pretty much every review of the game has made the same connection. Sorry, but that connection is a major reason why it should do well on the Wii. The Zelda audience.

OT: YAY!! I really want to play this game.
