An anonymous tipster has left us with a questionable but very exciting piece of information to think about. According to the tip: “The game Capcom hasn’t yet formally announced, but soon will, is
Okami for Wii”
Okami, the 18th best PS2 game ever according to IGN, is an action adventure game where players control a god inside the body of a wolf that can use a paintbrush to interact with different game elements. Since the game involves drawing shapes, a DS port has always been a no-brainer in my opinion, but the Wiimote could certainly work wonders compared to an analog stick.
Personally, since Okami has been the first game that’s been able to get my roommate, a complete non gamer since birth, to pick up a controller for hours at a time, the port could do great things for Wii’s game raster.
It’s important to note that this rumor has surfaced before and has technically been shot down by Capcom as of February. From a post on Pro-G:”Speaking anonymously to IGN, an industry insider said that Capcom is “seriously considering” bringing the much loved PS2 game to the Wii. Capcom UK has played down any such port, stating that it currently has “no plans to bring Okami to Wii.””
Is Capcom just extinguishing the rumors from our “insiders” so that they can make the big announcement themselves? Or is there really no plans to port Okami to Wii?

This is the first time i have heard Okami for Wii not all the other tid bits saying it will never happen. Dang I would love Okami on Wii. It would make mii happy. C'mon Capcom, if no port than make a new one for Wii, it would be a great match.
Well, I'm still not too optimistic about the possibility of this happening, and I'm sure Capcom doesn't care what I think but I'd pick up Okami for Wii in a heartbeat.
i'd prefer Okami 2 instead of another port.
Okami on Wii is a no-brainer… I'm surprised it didn't come out on Wii before it came out on PS2!Capcom was probably instructed by Sony to shut their mouth in regards to a Wii port of Okami until PS3 sales got going.
From what I heard Okami was specially designed to use the Dualshock controller. They could port it to Wii but I would rather a brand new game. Okami or another game like it.
Okami on Wii is a perfect match. The Wii is certainly capable of rendering its graphics, maybe even better, crisper and clearer than on the PS2. The drawing action would be so much more intuitive than the analog stick. I would buy this game no question. Even if it is a port, it gives me great incentive to play through it again with the wiimote. I think Wii owners are much more willing to try a creative, artistic and offbeat game like Okami than those of the PS2 who let this game slip. Okami might be able to find new life. I hope this rumor is true.
Who knows, if Okami is successful on Wii, it might lead way to Okami 2. You can't expect Capcom/Clover to make a brand new Okami game when the last one didn't do so well.
Okami is my favorite ps2 game if not favorite game of all time, I would be so excited for okami for wii!– Kazegami
PORT, PORT, another PORT……when will those so called "game developers" make use of there brain…….Plus doesnt the WII already has enough PS2 Ports……There are original ideas out there…..
Plans or no plans… I know it would be oh so awesome.
I would love to play Okami for Wii. I'd take my PS2 version back to the gamestop for store credit or something, and then I'd pay the small difference (which would likely amount to about $20 in the end). It'd be great!But it's not likely going to happen.The developers of the game have publically stated that they designed the game specifically for the Dualshock in countless interviews. I dont find them going back on their word, even if I think I'd be happy if they did. I think the method of gameplay would be better with the Wii Remote, but I don't see that happening.To be honest, I already beat the first Okami. If they put it on Wii, I'd rather have a sequel. But I wouldn't complain with a port.Let's cross our fingers.
I'd love a port, because I never owned a PS2. I'm sure there's lots of Zelda fans that never touched this on PS2 that would love to have it for the Wii.
Dammit, I wish this'd come to the Wii… It was such a good game the first time round. They could release the first one on Wii then bring out a sequel. It's rare that there's a sequel that crosses console borders, Sony-Microsoft-Nintendo style. But who cares? It's my new favourite game.Issun ROCKS!!
It has been announced in England(?) that Okami is going to be out on wii around March 25.
