The links were posted by lazybum131. A couple posters on neoGAF who claim to be associated with Ready at Dawn have stated that the texture effect was added in a build that was made after the preview build which IGN used.

I've updated my OP to try to clear up the confusion here. This isn't the final version of the game, so it's quite possible for things like this to get refined/added/polished.

I cannot wait for this game. I never played it on PS2 and the wiimote is such an obvious control for it. I can't help however notice that Twilight Princess has so much in common with it. It is like a cross between Twilight Princess and Wind Waker with a little dash of Pac Pix.

Too much friendly fire on this thread.

Onna chill. Don't call people idiots. No one insulted you. Riot, don't try to rile people up either.

Splat has been a known programmer at RAD on Gaf for a while now, so there isn't really much of a chance he's lying. People if you are going to post something that's gonna piss people off, I suggest you at least read the topic and make sure what you're posting is factual first. It's only 1 page. Take 30 seconds out of your life to scan the topic.

Read the thread about Okami Wii over at Capcom's offical forum: http://www.capcom.com/BBS/showthread.php?t=25016

It's very interesting how the things develop as the days pass on.

I think the port will be done well at the end, not so worried about it. I hope the PAL release is close to the US one, so I can play something while waiting for SSBB, but from that thread it looks like it will be a few months apart.

Anyways, back to Zackuuuu

ima gonna get this game when it releases

EDIT: yes, EST is the best time for it

I don't know, but since I live in an Eastern time zone I like it. ^_^

ioi has been doing a lot of blatant Yankery lately. I have a feeling he isn't suitably proud of his European heritage! 

^ or maybe cause most users are from the United States

That was pretty interesting.  People literally were hunting for things to complain about, to the point that the complainer at the end was inventing visual effects that aren't real in order to find ways to attack the Wii version haha.  It's also amazing how tolerant Capcom is of these people, that they actually do give them info when they complain like this.  Still, that was a giant topic of people acting like children in an attempt to prove the PS2 version was still the "definitive."  

I have the PS2 version, but I'm hardly going to deny that improvements have been made for this version.
