Okami for Wii unsurprisingly getting better

Category: Wii, Posted: 03/04/2008 at 12:32AM CST by Tim Mellish, Staff Writer

The Wii continues to get its fair share of ports. The latest everyone is excited about is the phenomenal Okami which released on the PlayStation 2 last year. When announced it was quickly speculated how amazing the painting mechanic would work with the Wii remote. Thankfully, the developers of Okami felt the same way and a port of Okami is underway for the Wii. But can it get better? How does Okami running in 16:9 ratio sound? Check out the video below. While current Okami owners won't be blamed for refusing to re-buy the game a second time, those who do drop the cash will obviously be justified in their repurchase.

If you passed up Okami on the PS2, shame on you, because Clover's dead now.

If you pass up Okami AGAIN on the Wii, you're an idiot. Buy it, people. It's better than the newer Zelda games. srsly.

Honestly, I don't know if I agree that Okami is better than the newer Zeldas, in terms of raw gameplay, but it absolutely outshines them artistically (and I don't just mean the visuals).

That having been said, I can assure you all that I will definitely be rocking this new version, if for no other reason than to play with the obviously improved paintbrush mechanic.
