As suspected, Capcom will be taking the Wii version of Okami down the same route they took Resident Evil 4. Developer Ready at Dawn will keep Okami: Wii Edition true to the original in almost every way imaginable. Aside from the converted Wii control scheme, there will be no added extras when fans get to play the new release early next year. Ready at Dawn president, Didier Malenfant, explains:
The game on Wii is going to be an exact port of the PS2 version and I think that’s what fans of the franchise want to see. This game has such a huge following throughout the world that people would probably send us death-threats if we messed it up by trying to add things that don’t have their place in the Okami universe. Being huge fans of the franchise ourselves, we made sure that Capcom also wanted to stay true to the original before signing on to do this.
Fans believe that Okami was a good enough game, so if it worked for Resident Evil 4 where Wii controls simply made a good game better, maybe it will work for Okami.
