I'm excited since I never quite got around to playing the ps2 version (except to try it out at a bit at my brother's house), even though it was on my list. Seems like the wii version should make a good fit... i.e. should be easier to draw those brush strokes...

It'd be nice if they'd let you skip the first hour.

The longest opening spiel I have ever seen.

Longer than MGS3?

My god yes. I couldn't even play the damn game.

man if I lived through Super Paper Mario, I can (and will, with world-conquering ebullience) live through this

MGS3 was like torture.

Imagine that, but much much longer, and instead of a cool guy jumping out of an airplane and an interesting story about world politics it's static pictures of mythical animals nobody gives a shit about with a crawling caption you can't speed up.

mythical animals nobody gives a shit about

"Hey there Mr. Shintoist, Merry Fucking Christmas!"

Ha ha!

It'd be nice if they'd let you skip the first hour.

It's great fun when you sit through that first hour and immediately press the wrong button and reset the game and have to do it all again. GREAT FUN.

Why the fuck developers think it's a neat idea to write unskippable, enormous, REALLY slow cut scenes is beyond me. If I want to watch 90 minutes of movie I'll watch a fucking movie.

Seriously, I DID NOT PLAY THIS GAME solely because I got bored with the intro.

I got to about halfway through the game. I've heard it gets better after that but I'd seen enough. It's totally gorgeous and unique, but just not very fun.

I got... uh, about an hour in and got confused. Too much wacky fighting-wolves-in-bubbles action. I'll go back to it eventually (cost me $100 ffs) but I don't see myself devouring it in one sitting.

i just finished this. it was great. but fuck a stray bead getting quest.

any chance this new okami game cd be made by platinum? I know capcom and platinum are probably not on very good terms following the collapse of clover but platinum are still to deliver the fourth game of their four-game contract with sega.

is it possible capcom could 'license' the okami IP to sega? ... can but dream, I guess. besides, mad world, infinite space, bayonetta, okamiden would be a streak for the record books!

didn't they "forget" to put the closing credits in the Wii port?

I guess it makes sense that it's coming to DS. At least we can feel confident the drawing part of the game will (finally) actually work

I'm hyped

The best thing about Okami though was how great the graphics were - definitely one of the top 5 best looking ps2 games...

"The Okamiden project is being handled by a Capcom internal staff led by producer Motohide Eshiro (Ace Attorney) and director Kuniomi Matsushita, who worked on the Dino Crisis games and directed the group that ported the original Okami to the Wii last year."

Okami 2 announced whoa

Good memories of playing the first one with my niece watching, all those years ago. It's nice to see Capcom revisit some dormant IPs at long last...
