In the event you’ve been taking a look at your Nintendo Wii copy of Okami following its sequel announcement, you may need to put it down if you happen to like Hideki Kamiya.
To the shock and delight of Okami followers in every single place, a sequel was introduced ultimately yr’s Recreation Awards, with creator Hideki Kamiya again on the helm at his new studio Clovers. This was a fairly large deal for followers in every single place, on condition that the sport has by no means obtained a correct sequel (Okamiden is extra of a non secular successor, and Kamiya wasn’t concerned), although it did obtain a port to the Wii in 2008. That model was clearly distinctive since you might use the Wiimote to color within the sport, one of many sport’s central mechanics, a enjoyable and apparent option to make for a console just like the Wii. You may even personal that replicate, however you may need to suppose twice about taking part in it that method, as Kamiya has shared that he truly does not need you to.
A follower of Kamiya’s on Twitter shared that they’d lately began taking part in Okami on PC, however questioned if they need to play the unique Wii model as an alternative, however the sport developer fairly merely responded (translations through VGC), “The Wii model is just not the unique. I made the PS2 model. In the event you’re going to play it now, one of the best model is the HD model. Personally, I don’t need you to play the Wii model.” Kamiya is clearly identified for his robust character, so he is by no means been shy about hiding what he actually thinks.
One odd factor to notice in regards to the Wii model is that you would be able to truly see IGN’s emblem on the time watermarked on it very faintly, and whereas I doubt that is the explanation Kamiya does not need you to play it, it’s nonetheless extremely humorous that this truly made it to launch with out anybody noticing.
The as-of-yet untitled Okami sequel does not have a launch date simply but, there’s not even a lick of gameplay, so for now perhaps you must simply replay the unique (simply not on the Wii).
