While answering a few questions on the Capcom Unity forums, Capcom's senior director of strategy, Christian Svensson had a few things to say about the Wii's port of Okami -- and it appears to be a port in the literal sense. When asked by poster 3chordjack about the possibility of new content, Sven had this to say in response:
"Nope. 40-60 hours of content is plenty for anyone. It doesn't need more bosses. Most people complain that the game is too long as it is. And you could read a few threads around here asking us to shorten or cut it (which we also didn't do)."
That may leave a bad taste in the mouths of those who demand new content whenever a game is released for a new platform, but I have to agree, 40-60 hours isn't exactly something to sneeze at. The good news is that the game is pretty much finished, you can now skip over the nagging walls of endless text, and it should be released sometime in March.
Capcom is wagering that the Wiimote will inject the level of interest that Okami deserved the first time around on the PS2, but didn't get. Just don't ignore this great game like you did last time -- It's exactly why we can't have nice things.

Also, first.
Got my Okami for the PS2 without Waggle thank you very much.
I was always really jealous that they moved it from the GameCube to the PS2. Now I finally get to play it. Woot.
so I'm probably gonna get this one too.
I hope they keep the wiimote waggling to the minimum.
I just wanna use it for the brush!
So, yes, I care!
So I care. Lots.
yeah i dont care much anymore. imagine if this was a launch title for the wii though.that would have been epic.
What a fantastic game.
What's the price for Okami Wii, anyway? Last I heard it was the full $49, which kinda irks me.
What he said.
precisely... this game is one of my favorites and if you havent played it yet... then do so
i mean theres no online multiplayer or unlockable achievements, but hey... youll just have to make do
believe it or not some games are good based soley on their content... crazy i know
The Wii is a 7th gen console just like the 360 and PS3.
No more ports of PS2/Gamecube games!!!
The Wii is the new PS2 and therefore it should recieve all the best games while thbe PS3/350 should get Wii ports and scraps!!!
Lazy developers!!!
I'd actually much prefer a game unique to Wii, one that improves on the RE4 engine (but no lame crosshair, plz) really putting the Wii hardware to its work. Even if it isn't a "true" RE game and only a gaiden, as long as it uses RE4's game engine and has effort put into it I'll enjoy it.
I'll certainly be buying it on Wii as I missed it first time around. That and I think anything thats good on Wii should be bought just so the developers will start to take the platform seriously.
Attention 3rd party developers: I have cash but I'm not as stupid as I look. Make me some decent games that aren't minigame crapfests.
