Okami Wii info

Christian Svensson is Vice-President of Strategic Planning at Capcom. Recently he's been making posts on the official forums, offering some new details about Okami on Wii.

Paintbrush strokes using the Wiimote has a learning curve of around 10 minutes.
No new content has been added, but still around 40-60 hours of gameplay.
The Wii version is practically complete, currently going through testing.
Option to skip dialog segments now included.
Marketing campaigns will be in place, but no TV advertising.
Possible release in March (subject to change).
Brief delay between US and European releases.
Wii version is "even more beautiful than it was on the PS2".

For those of us who never played the original, this is something to look forward to.

I wonder whether the Wii being "more beautiful than the ps2" has to do with a graphical increase, or just better processors slowing down less.

Good, good. I'll take it otherwise.

I don't know what this is. Is it painting?

jskrdude said:

I'm not sure, but I think it's an RPG that takes place inside a painting. It uses some pretty cool cell-shaded graphics.

I looked it up, and it looks very abstract. I would enjoy it.

This is going to be awesome.

Didn't one of those guys say in an interview that the game will look exactly the same? I hate to be negative and all, but I will be surprised if the game runs in progressive scan.

Oh my god I wanted this game so bad I played the demo for the ps2. It was magnificent, now it's on Wii! I'm dead.

Mr Friend said:

It's the Legend of Zelda, with a magic paintbrush. No new content.

Goombaka said:

"more beautiful", eh. That's good but vague news. A release date would have been nice, though. I'm really looking forward to this one.

Wiipaw said:

Karim, I'll try to revive you. Quick. Someone get a PS3 in here.

Nintendoof said:

I like the new improvements. Especially the skipping cutscenes part.

If it's polished up properly and Wiimote is as good or better than resident evil 4 Wii edition, then I'm in.
