Okami confirmed for Wii

Capcom has finally confirmed persistent rumors that Okami is coming to Nintendo Wii, telling a London audience this week that the game will arrive on our screens in spring 2008.

Celebrated on PS2 for its absorbing puzzle and action adventure mechanics, gripping narrative inspired by Japanese folklore and beautiful watercolor visuals, its rebirth on Wii has been much hyped.

The game also lends itself rather well to the potential of Nintendo’s Wiimote for control. Amaterasu’s Celestial Brush – a paintbrush used in combat and for solving puzzles – is a perfect fit for the Wiimote, and so it proves, while combat will also include various “motion-controlled physical attacks”.

    YES!!! Thank you Capcom! As a sign of my thanks I will buy that game for myself as well as a gift for friends.

    Any third-party developer who brings a successful Playstation title over to the Wii gets my instant support.

    I have beat this game three times on PS2 and I still love it. I will play the hell out of a wii port and this gives me much hope that the sequel will be on the wii where it belongs.
