Considering how little it cost them to port it, it will surely prove profitable.

There is a lack of titles like this on the wii... I doubt it'll flop. I guess the question is: will it sell well enough to convince capcom to develop a sequal?

Well, Ready at Dawn still spend about a year remaking the game, but Capcom said the'd be happy if it sold the same as the PS2 version, which sold 270.000 copies.

I think for a sequel it will have to sell about a million, considering the cost of such an epic game.

I see 500-750 k very well happening, considering Nintendo platforms are a better platform for adventure/Zeldaesque games than PS. (I remember reading somewhere that Beyond Good & Evil sold best on Gamecube).

And yeah, I'll definitely buy it.

 I doubt beyond good and evil did best on the gamecube, it was released over a month later in the states, don't know about the rest of the world but I'm sure its similar, coupled with the larger ps2 installed base their is no way it didn't do the best on ps2

on topic, I have ever intention of picking up Okami on the wii, I was going to pick it up for the ps2 until the wii release was announced, the increased ease of use for the celestial paint brush coupled with supporting games like okami on the ps2 is a moot point now, but on the wii it could make a difference were the deciding factors in getting the game
