I want Okami on Wii!

I would love to see Okami on the Wii! Unfortunately the publisher is out of business, but there must be some way someone can buy the rights to Okami so we could see it on the Wii? Imagine using the Wii remote to paint things in the game. It would be great!gruoch1

When I first saw Okami and Wii shortly after, I figured Capcom would tell Clover "hey, make it for the Wii too!" I'm hoping Capcom will manage to get it ported to Wii cuz I think the Wii's controls will make the game even better. Not by a whole lot, but that's one game I've always wanted to play. 

Doubt it'll ever happen since Clover is no more.

But one thing I can say for sure that if Okami came out to the Wii (or the DS) it probably would've sold much better.

I agree, it would have sold much better. I think the Ps2 was the wrong console to release it for.

Didn't Capcom publish it?

It would sell better on a much more expensive system with a much smaller userbase just because it has been wagglefied? Sorry but Okami had decent hype in gaming related circles, pretty much AAA scores everywhere, and was selling for $10 cheaper than the usual PS2 game price. The masses simply didn't want it.

It's not like the PS2 controls are hard, all the celestial brush triggers are basically straight lines and circles with a HUGE leeway on how bad you can do it. The only time I've ever had with the brush was painting a Japanese character and it wasn't because I can't do it, it's just that the game doesn't recognize it if you draw it too big, which in no way was the PS2's fault.

I get the point on wanting it to be a Wii game but all this crap about how everything the Wii touches suddenly becomes gold is getting to me. Hehe, thinking how much mini-games they'd cram in just because it's a Wii game scares me. Then again Okami is so forgiving it would probably be just more celestial brush waggling.

There are some reasons why it might have sold better on the Wii, not the least of which is the famine of this kind of gaming content on the Wii, contrasted with the larger base of Wii owners who want such content.  It's a situation that will only exist for a time until the Wii gains more large-scale action-adventure games.  Until that time, it's viable that certain games in that genre will sell more in one dose to a smaller fanbase that is starving for games that fit the Zelda mold, than it did on a platform which has proliferated and has no such famine of games.

I personally didn't care for Okami.  It wasn't a terrible game, but I felt it was just a run of the mill action-adventure game with a few nice gimmicks that didn't really hold my interest enough for me to want to play it over and over again like many similar games do.  Still, I'd probably buy it again on the Wii, if it were released for that platform.  I'd like to see how the brush operates, for instance, since more fliuid motions are possible with the pointing controls.  I just don't think expanding the gimmick by wrapping new controls around it is going to make the game that much more interesting.

Actually the publisher was Capcom and they are still in business sooo...

Also it's nice to want things. In fact I'd like the PS3 to cost 300 dollars...well tough ****
