Rumours Suggest a Spring Release For Okami Wii

If you’re looking for a Nintendo Wii console in stock check out this page.

A man on the inside has told Eurogamer that Okami Wii will be out here in summer. He sleeps in the walls.

That sounds a bit uncomfortable! Surely the dude can afford an apartment?

His words scupper suggestions from retailers that it will be out the same week as the US version that arrives on 25th March.

This is great news for me because it’s one of the games I really wanted to see released for the Wii. The other one being guitar hero. Now that they are both going to be available on the Wii I can scrap my plans to buy a PS2.

But Capcom Europe has remained reluctant to comment, leaving us with an initial and probably US forecast of spring to go by.

Hold on a second. I thought the guy who lives in the walls said it was going to be out in the summer. So is its springtime or the summer? I’m pretty sure that in March the UK summer is a long way away!

Okami is an action-adventure that Kristan bangs on and on about, claiming it was his joint favourite game of 2007. Which is probably why he gave it 10/10.

Well I think he’s right to bang on about it. It’s definitely one of my favorite games of 2007 and I think it well deserves his 10 out of 10 rating. We in the office are really looking forward to the Wii version and we hope it has proper widescreen support.

The translation to Wii is being handled by Ready at Dawn of Daxter and God of War PSP fame. Its paintbrush flourishes should fit the controls immaculately.

As far as we know Capcom are pretty much only trying to port the game in the exact same format with a slightly new control scheme. It would be great if they could include some visual updates and some extra content. We’ll just have to wait and see. That’s not to say that the game is lacking content but it would be nice to see the extra power available in the Wii used effectively.

This little number is definitely on our wish list and we’re getting quite excited about this release. We can’t wait to play the game and are confident that Okami will get the critical acclaim it deserves this time around.
