think I've just received the most exciting piece of news I'm likely to hear this week: Okami, a flat-out gorgeous adventure game for the PS2, is FINALLY confirmed to have a Wii port in progress!!!!!
This is a game that Wii owners have been dreaming about pretty much ever since the console was initially released, because one of the main actions in the game is painting. Having tried to 'draw' a circle using an analog stick, I can tell you that it's pretty darned clunky. But the IR functionality of the Wiimote is absolutely perfect for such actions - take the 'sketching food items' minigame in Rayman Raving Rabids. Consciously or otherwise, Okami must have been dreamed up with such controls in mind.
One of the best parts of the news?
We're not going to have to wait forever for the port! It's currently scheduled for Spring 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you tell that a new game has suddenly sprinted to the top of my Wii Games We Must Acquire list? :D Squeeee!!!!!!
