After much speculation, rumors of the critically acclaimed Okami making its way to the Nintendo Wii were confirmed today. The game, which like several cult hits before it, is a fantastic title which received very little press.

Given the game's reliance upon the "Celestial Brush", which players use to "paint" brush strokes across the scree, as a weapon, this game is sure to be a great experience with the Wii's famous motion sensing controls.

Capcom is expected to issue more information tomorrow, and we will update this news article as we recieve more information.

They had a special magic that was unique to the company. I just hope Capcom can emulate that without their assistance.

This will begin to introduce the beauty of the Japanese RPG to the different demographics of people. Good on Capcom.

Yeah, I would be kinda skeptical myself, Words, since was Clover barely pulled it off well, the brush techniques anyway. I will hope for the best but this porting of games from other systems is getting old.
