Okami not a complete failure on Wii

November 6th, 2008 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, Wii

Even though Okami is considered many to be one of the better games on the PS2, the title was considered to be a failure as far as sales go. In spite of the poor sales, Capcom decided to give the title new life on Wii. Most believed that the same situation with sales on the PS2 would happen again on the Wii, but the latest sales figures from Capcom might indicate otherwise. Since its release, Okami has sold about 210,000 units in the United States with an additional 90,000 copies sold in Europe. By no means has Okami sold as well as Grand Theft Auto or Smash Bros., but it’s probably not as terrible as most had originally assumed.

    oh no, what is Capcom thinking. It was a new IP, and it sold over 500,000 between Wii and Ps2, hell thats plenty for a brand new game. Great game too, people should buy it.

    I agree, it’s very good. Get it for whatever platform you prefer. I believe it actually sold better on the Wii than it did on the PS2. I own it for both but thought it was perfected on the Wii.

    Yeah, the Wii is the best choice for this game. And it’s very great indeed.

    Yes Great Game indeed. Although, the Wiimote functions are very unpredictable during the Painting Minigames. This has infuriated me to the point that I have quit playing the Wii Version and started over on the PS2. I literally cannot get passed one of the minigames and I am an avid Wiimote user. Be cautious.

    Yeah, you mean the minigame where you’re supposed to dig yourself through the stone maze, right? Try drawing a bomb while time is ticking away… but other than that, GREAT GAME!!! Every adventure loving soul should at least try it.
