Ready at Dawn comments on the Okami Wii boxart incident
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
An incredibly bizarre situation surrounded the launch of Okami many years ago. You may remember that the game’s boxart was plastered with a blemish in the form of an IGN logo. It wasn’t overly noticeable, but it was still a huge oversight on Capcom’s part.
Ready at Dawn handled the development of Okami Wii. As part of a feature looking back on the history of the studio, Game Informer asked CEO Ru Weerasuriya to comment on how the whole thing happened. Weerasuriya didn’t have a whole lot of answers, but did offer up a few words about the surprising incident.
Weerasuriya told the site:

A look at Ubisoft’s original Red Steel 2 project
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 6 Comments
Ubisoft originally had a much different plan in mind for Red Steel 2.
The game maintained a similar aesthetic, but possessed a different style. The initial project also would have included online multiplayer. Naturally, because the peripheral wasn’t out at the time, Red Steel 2’s first concept would have lacked MotionPlus support.
Ubisoft ended up cancelling the first Red Steel 2 around 2007/2008 even though it was fairly far along in development. Eventually, a new version was born and released in 2010.
