Okami Wii credits controversy not an issue in the Japanese version

The Wii version of Okami launched in North America and Europe last year, but Japan still has yet to see the game. However, it might have been worth the wait. Remember how the credits were removed? Well, in the Japanese edition, the complete ending sequence from the PlayStation 2 version is intact.

The missing credits stirred quite a bit of controversy when the discovery was made. Hideki Kamiya, the director of the original game was vocal, saying that the lack of credits in Okami Wii was “incredibly disappointing and sad.”

Aside from the credits though, there will be some changes for the Japanese release. Most notably, the controls have been refined. There were a decent amount of complaints regarding the Wiimote controls for the North America/European version, so it looks like the developers have been trying their best to address those issues.
