Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Okami Wii confirmed! early 08

famousringo on 18 October 2007

Honestly, I have no problem with ports, as long as they're done well. I'm glad that great titles like Okami and Bully are coming out for Wii, and at budget pricing, I'm sure to snag a copy of each.

1) I love Okami
2) I love the Wii

But this is bringing back nighmarish memories. See, there was a time a while back when I walked into a gamespot to buy something that I was sure would rule. This something, a PSP. The rest is a sad history of ports and booze.

Yea, i'm sick of seeing Port after Port. It didnt work for sony, and its really not gonna work for nintendo.

Wow amazing... If there's one game I really wanted to play and missed on the PS2 it's Okami! Makes me want a Wii even more now... ARG! >_

Great! I love this game on the PS2. I constantly replay it just to listen to the great music and watch the flowing artwork. If it's budget priced I'll buy the Wii version as well. I've always been disappointed that more people haven't played the game. The Wii should give it a second chance.

Great, I've been waiting to play Okami for a long time. Good thing it's going to Wii, too. Not only will Nintendo fans get to experience another great title, but Capcom's efforts are showing other third parties good games can be successful on Nintendo's console (even if they are ports).

I consider this less of a port, and more of a second chance for such a great title.

I bet Ubisoft could publish Beyond Good & Evil on the Wii and the majority of people would think it is a new IP from them.

And a tightened version of Psychonauts. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

 But how many truly good ports did the PSP get? It mostly got multiplatform dumps, just as the Wii.

It amazes me how many people in the "I loved the look of it, really wanted to play it, but never bought it for PS2" boat. Funnily enough, they've all been waiting for a Wii version too :P.

I'm the exact same, by the time I had found out about the game I had sold my PS2. I was going to borrow my mates for a weekend cause it was just so good looking I needed to play it, but instead figured I'd appreciate it even more on the Wii, so I risked waiting for a port.

Great news for me :).

I get the feeling that your average joe doesnt even know this game exists. So for many its going to be a brand spanking new game. budget price and a little bit of advertising and this should do as well as RE4 did.

Well done capcom!

 I think it'll do much better than RE4 for two reasons.

1. The original Okami didn't sell anywhere near the RE4 versions on cube and PS2, and was considered a big bomb, which is really strange considering it was IGN game of the year, just in front of Zelda TP.

2. Nintendo has a huge Zelda fanbase who don't change console brand ever (once a Zelda fan always a Zelda fan).  Okami is very much Zelda like so those gamers will be very tempted to buy Okami.
