Nintendo Wii: Capcom Reveal Okami Wii Details

Those of you who’re eagerly awaiting details on Capcom’s unique masterpiece need wait no longer.

Christian Svensson, the senior director of strategy at Capcom revealed some rather intriguing snippets of information relating to the forthcoming Okami port on the Nintendo Wii:

• Paintbrush learning curve takes “10 minutes” with the Wii Remote.
• Precision with the Wii remote isn’t too important with gameplay centered around quick strokes and wrist waggles.
• No new content, but still aiming for 40-60 hours of gameplay.
• Ability to skip dialogue sections
• Wii version is complete and currently going through testing and finalising.
• “Appropriate sized marketing”, but no TV advertising to promote the release.
• Short delay between European and US releases.
• “…all of you Wii fanatics better have Okami pre-ordered by now because that�s the next test (and it�s waaay better with Wii controls, than it was on PS2� it�s very different, in a good way).”
• Estimated release: March 2008.
