Okami is a cash cow now?

So far, the trend seems to be to run things into the ground, and with the Clover folks gone I doubt this will be well done.

While that criticism applies to more than just Capcom, I agree. Definitely a wait and see situation with this one.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They're up there alright. Here's a comment from Kotaku that really nailed it:

Sorry, but I'll have to disagree here. While the brush controls will translate well to the new controller, I doubt everything else will (you do far more in this game than just draw lines). Couple that with the original team nowhere to be found, and the concerns raised aren't unfounded.

As for that little sales bit, it still applies. Capcom's just getting the money they sunk into Okami back, since it bombed so badly.

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