Okami Wii credits controversy not an issue in the Japanese version
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 1 Comment
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.

Monster Hunter 3 devs “looking into” WiiSpeak support
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
This information comes from an interview with Capcom Producer Ryozo Tsjmoto
“We’re looking into a bunch a different things and one of the things is definitely like, a lot of users have asked for voice chat. We’re looking into right now whether it’s technically possible or not. And so if it is, maybe we’ll make an announcement. If it isn’t, you know, if it realistically can’t be done, then I’m sorry we may have to leave it out. But we’re looking into it.”
It’s been clear for awhile now that Capcom is hoping to include WiiSpeak support for Monster Hunter 3. I’m not too sure what would hold back its inclusion, though. I do hope we see it in there!

Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Just in time for Halloween, XSEED Games has been holding a grudge on Wii™ owners and has vowed to make amends starting October 13th. JU-ON: The Grudge, a haunted house simulator developed by feelplus, immerses players in a number of mysterious and eerie locales shrouded in utter darkness.
Armed with only a flashlight, players’ safety depends on thorough exploration of cursed surroundings, including an abandoned warehouse and a decrepit hospital. Move quickly, because as your batteries drain and the darkness closes in around you, it becomes explicitly clear that something far more sinister than rats is lurking behind you.
