It only makes sense. Okami is the perfect game for a console like the Wii. Actually, I was always wondering why they released it for PS2, but not for Wii.

Okami was released when?

Oh right, April 06, and the Wii didn't come until December. Talking Japanese release dates here, of course. Why would they wait almost a year to release a game just for a console (which at the time they haven't played)?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Square is terrible post-2003 and lazy mostly because of the recent FFT game for PSP, where they could've managed to make the game without slowdown. If you want to blame anyone, blame them. I don't understand Mo0's comment about Capcom being up there with the "not putting effort into things" thing. Just because you don't get off your fat ass and do things from day to day doesn't mean that all companies do the same.

Namco? Awesome, mostly. Katamari, iDOLM@STER, Eternal Sonata, Ace Combat, Tales, Klonoa, Soul Calibur, etc. I don't like Tekken but whatever. I think they're a very good company.

Konami is one of my favourite companies. Castlevania, Pop'n, IIDX, MGS, Gradius, Suikoden, Zone of the Enders, Silent Hill, etc. Winning Eleven is also the biggest selling sports game I've ever seen. There's some extremely solid titles listed here, although they don't seem to be making much for the PS2 any more.

Bungie I don't know of aside from Halo, in which case I'm not a fan.

But hey not everybody's a manipulative ass who analyses companies that're making entertainment which require the small significance of $30 or $40 from you. While all of these companies whore ALL of their products, they do it rightfully so. Square's the biggest culprit probably followed by Bungie but who cares, you're not obligated to buy any of it.

Sure as hell people should be able to realize Capcom slew of good games and shouldn't be shunned for bringing a port over to the Wii. How much other Okami material was released? Like five or six Japan-only things (art book, strategy guide, soundtrack, arrange soundtrack, reprint) which is hardly anything compared to Square's endless Final Fantasy gear or Bungie's PLAQUE HEAD. Are we going to criticise every other company ever for porting certain specific game from one console to another? That's just retarded.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That, and it's been clear for a while many people seem to have an aversion against games starring animals. Cars, tanks, planes, soldiers and athletes feel much more secure and familiar.

Sonic?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

WHAT FANS

WHAT FRANCHISE

CLOVER'S DEAD

OKAMI'S DEAD

But yeah widescreen and 480p is nice. Okami had an "LCD TV" option in the game, to "make it look better on LCD televisions" but worked through composite which was completely fucking wet. It wasn't even widescreen in the end.

But I still bought it. :<
