Christian Svensson, Capcom’s senior director of strategy, has revealed some new details about Okami for Wii.  The full details were revealed on Capcom’s official forums:

  • 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 finalizing.
  • “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

I’m very interested in this game!  I really hope the tentative March release date sticks.
