Ready at Dawn was sadly shuttered last year, but during the span of the studio’s twenty years in operation, a port of Okami for Wii was a passion project that the company worked on. In a recent interview, co-founder Dawn Andrea Pessino spoke about what went into making it happen and the struggles involved.
Things began when Ready at Dawn and Capcom were talking during GDC many years ago. Pessino indicated that the challenges started due to a lack of resources from Capcom. Not much was provided and everything was in Japanese.

Fantasy Life i getting physical release in Japan with English support, pre-orders open
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A new physical release of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has now gone up for pre-order on Nintendo Switch.
At one point, it seems that Nintendo was set to produce a boxed copy – at least in Europe. However, that has now been scrapped apparently. As of now Japan is the only confirmed region with a physical release. But if you’re looking to pick up the game in boxed form, you’ll be able to do so with the Japanese release. English and other languages will be supported, and since Nintendo Switch is region free, anyone can import a copy.
