Capcom Talks Okami For Wii

[vashivihan]

Capcom's senior director of strategy, Christian Svensson, recently posted a few details on the upcoming Okami port for Wii.

His posts on the Official Capcom forums reveal some interesting details on the Wii build.


Paintbrush learning curve takes "10 minutes" with the Wii Remote.

Precision with the Wii remote isn't too important with gameplay centered around quick strokes and wrist waggles.

No new content, but still aiming for 40-60 hours of gameplay.

Ability to skip dialogue sections

Wii version is complete and currently going through testing and finalising.

"Appropriate sized marketing", but no TV advertising to promote the release.

Short delay between European and US releases.

"...all of you Wii fanatics better have Okami pre-ordered by now because that’s the next test (and it’s waaay better with Wii controls, than it was on PS2… it’s very different, in a good way)."

Estimated release: March 2008.

Capcom is to reveal more details and media for Okami Wii in the near future.

It definetly wasn't a hit on the ps2 it lost capcom millions in sales.

I hope it does well, I'm not really planning on buying it, will definitely give it a rent. If it seems worth buying I might wait for the price to go down.
