Creators Of Okami left Out Of Wii Credits
Recently the studio which created Okami, Clover, has been dissolved into nothing. In the remastered version of Okam, for the Wii, Capcom has thrown salt on the wounds by leaving Clover out of the credits.
“I feel dejected, and not only because my own name has been erased from my creation,” confessed Okami director Hideki Kamiya on his blog.”Of course we have pride in our work and we want to scream ‘We made this!’ from the top of our lungs. But more than that, the fact that they cut the entire staff is utterly deplorable.
