Okami Wii to have 16:9, progressive scan, 480p support

There’s been a bit of bluster on the web in the last few days because someone posted some shots of the Wii version of Okami running in what appeared to be 4:3 resolution. Fortunately, it wasn’t true. From Capcom’s site:

  1. New Widescreen (16:9) and 480p progressive scan support.
  2. Real-time fighting system and special attacks using brush techniques to decimate enemies and solves puzzles.
  3. Use innovative controls and the Wii remote to “paint” your desired powers.
  4. Fight against a wide variety of fascinating yet deadly enemies!
  5. Communicate with unique characters.
  6. Blend of stylized graphics and unique gameplay results in a rich and dynamic experience.
  7. Expand your god-like powers as you progress through the game!

Okami was developed by the now defunct Capcom outfit Clover Studios. It’s one of those games that wins awards and no one bought. The Wii version sounds super-swish, so if you’re the type that likes games that no one else buys, pay close attention. It hits Europe at the end of March.

  1. I bought it! And I forced the guy sitting next to me to buy it too. At gunpoint.

  2. Want it. Definitely. I missed it on PS2.

  3. It’s great if it wasn’t for the characters voices and the second half feeling tacked on.

  4. I find it odd that on a machine that its fans keep saying “It’s not about graphics!” and “We don’t need HD gaming” the first whiff of a game that gets remotely decent resolution support gets strutted around like it’s broken the final frontier or something. Besides which, it’s not even in an original game.

    Still, if you’re going to do a port, few games deserve a second outing like Okami did. It’s wonderful and has one of the most gratifying and uplifting endings I ever witnessed.

    Good times.

  5. Brilliant game, and I’m really looking forward to the Wii edition.
