Any information about European sales? And has it not been released in Japan yet?
It is really a pity that this game hasn't received any attention at all...
Yes, it is just a remake (without a lot of new features...) but still an excellent game.
And yes, it reminded me of Zelda, but that is not a bad thing. And let's not forget that it was released even before Twilight Princess with the whole Wolf-plot-thing.

Capcom said the Wii #s (some 350,000) were WW, while the ps2 300,000 were NA only. They said the Wii version hasnt outsold the ps2 version, but they gave no #s for ps2 WW, so i doubt its a significant difference.

@Kenology

If that is true, by now it would actually be at 300k, like Voltaire said. Which is good because that means it outsold the PS2 version.

The problem is, how will the 300k be distributed? I'm guessing 165k/135k (Amer./EU).

After the opening this game is very surprisingly fun. The Z button definitely helps with drawing straight lines.

Not every game can sell like the port of RE4 did or games like Carnival Games. Which by the way I see commercials for that game all the time...and surprise its sales have boosted and started to show legs

Onimusha...where is the link showing the quotes of the Capcom execs stating they were testing Wii sales based on these games, sounds like bullshit to me.

They didn't expect Okami to sell well, there was no advertising behind it other than ads on video game websites - they even said they weren't going to advertise it on TV.

I've heard these comments before "Capcom is testing the water" I haven't seen anything backing up those statements other than peoples speculations.

I think it's a matter of opinion. This game is the definitive version. Especially since most people who disagree didn't even realize you can hold z to make the game draw a straight line. I think their opinion is pretty meaningless.

I played through the PS2 game when it first launched and have to say the controls are more natural and better on the Wii as are the graphics in 480p and true widescreen for the first time.

As for the credits I agree but find it to be a pretty minor thing.

Onimusha12 posted 29/05/2008, 01:35
This port sadly get's what it deserves. If you're going to release a port of a game two years after the original that isn't the definitive version then what incentive is there to buy that version? There's no reason they couldn't have offered an alternate control scheme using the Classic Controller or included the credits. Instead of offering what the PS2 version had and more this port merely just offered a compromise.

Capcom made the right choice in choosing Okami to try and prove games don't sell on the Wii. I'm sure they were a bit miff'd to see Umbrella Chronicles do so well (notice how they said Umbrella Chronicles was going to be the final test for the Wii, then after its success suddenly the said, oh Okami is the next test).

But it doesn't matter anyways - I'm not sure if I'd want Ready at Dawn to make a sequel to this since the original creators moved on to make Platinum Games and team with Sega

Europe is going to acknowledge this game like a man will acknowledge himself not knowing where to drive.

In other words, it's going to flop in Europe. It happened with the original Okami.

a lot of people dont know this game, thats why its so low selled...
and look at Zelda wind waker... same graphics, and both are adventures ... "its possible" to sell more, but Capcom needs TV spots... or something like this.

73K after two weeks. That's a strong opening.

The more I look at the release schedules, the more I think Okami is going to get strangled by competition. I'd expect no more than 15K next week with the combined impact of Mario Kart and GTA 4.

Still holding out hope for 500K worldwide.

So, Brawl's opening week in the states was more than twice that of Galaxy's. Thus, we can say that Brawl will sell more than twice as much as Galaxy.

I guess all Wii games have the exact same scale based entirely on their opening week.

Dang, I need to write this down!

What is with all of these "Is it going to sell?" questions? Of course it's going to sell well! For example, let's take a recently released Wii game expected to be a sales disaster...

No More Heroes
40,000 First Week
260,000 LTD
M Rated
$49.99

Okami
?????
T Rated
$39.99

And Okami is a known commodity upon release since it is a port. And the reviews (as the box art is quick to point out) are overwhelmingly positive.

My estimates...

65,000 First Week US
300k US
230k UK
170k Japan

Somewhere between 700k and 1 million for it's lifetime depending on how strong the legs/word of mouth is amongst gamers.

@Man To add a game to your collection before its release is OK for me.I WILL buy it no matter what.To rate a game before anyone could lay his hands on it is where i see the problem.
Okami may be a special case because it is a remake,but nevertheless one should only rate games that he/she/it actually has played.
