IGN has an earlier build, it's been confirmed by RAD employees on NeoGAF that the rice paper effect has been implemented since then.

 That's encouraging to hear.

So on the cons, there's just some dubious waggle control for an action which is apparently completely unnecassary (dodging). I expect the attack combo waggle will be easy for any seasoned wiimote wielder to perform, and the widescreen is close enough to 16:9 that I don't think I'll notice the difference once I get into the game.

And if they've already addressed the rice-paper texture issue since this preview build went out, who knows what else might get smoothed out before the game goes gold. It's impressive what those folks at Ready at Dawn can pull off with such a small team.

Congratulations on posting before reading the whole topic.  Rice paper effect is in the Wii version too, which means the only difference in art direction is better draw distance on the Wii version and less aliasing.

Attack control bound to waggle, combos harder than with buttons. Also, dodging bound to nunchuk waggle and inaccurate.


Why do Devs need to use motion controls in the most ridiculous means, just keep the painting to the motion/pointer controls and use the buttons for the attacks and dodging

I'll wait for the reviews but as it looks now, I'll stick with the PS2 version with or without 16:9 and 480. I hate it when originals are being pulled out of their original context. Sounds like they try to make the game more American than as it suppose to be "Japanese"

By the way, something I've always wondered about: Why calling a goddess Nami and her brother Nagi while their original names are: Izanami and Izanagi so was in the JP version. I hate it when they change that.

How did you reach that conclusion? It says the content was unaltered.

QFT. That is the weirdest sort of conclusion I have read on here for a while. Maybe Onna just likes to bash wii/ ps2 ports.

 Perhaps Onna was missinformed.

 

1) Content is unaltered.

2) Rice Paper effect is still there.

3) Its now easier to use the paint brush thing apparently with the pointer.

 

The only negative seems to be that they don't like some of the combos being mapped to "waggle" commands.

I want screens ASAP!! I actually thought the rice paper made a big contribution to the game style...
