UK, February 13, 2007 - Mark this one as a rumour for the moment but we've heard that Capcom US is looking to bring the beautiful Okami to Wii. You can colour us excited at the prospect of using the Wiimote to control the game's innovative magical paintbrush.
Since Okami was released on PS2 last year in the States, it's been apparent that Clover Studio's epic game and the Wii seemed to go hand in hand, thanks to Nintendo's motion sensing controller. However, today a reliable industry insider unaffiliated with Capcom told us that the company is seriously considering creating a Wii version and may even be working on it as we speak.
However, when we asked Capcom UK for confirmation of Okami's move to Wii we got this response: "Officially we have no plans for Okami on Wii at this time. Research and development are always looking at possibilities but given Clover is now closed for business, I think it highly unlikely a Wii version would be possible."
So there you have it - officially it's not happening but it's by no means a flat-out denial. And even with the closure of Clover Studios it wouldn't be that difficult for a team to port it across, particularly when you consider a lot of Clover staffers went back to Capcom after the studio's closure.
We'll keep you updated with any further news.
