So it's no secret that Okami has been in development for a Wii release for a little while now. Yes it IS another ps2-game gone-Wii, but what the heck, ALOT of people liked ps2 games. I may have had problems myself with the hardware (3 ps2s broke and sony didn't want to replace - they were ALL under warranty! ), but alot of the games were good, and this particular game recieved alot of praise in it's reviews. It was actually one of the games that I had initially said out loud "would fit better on a Nintendo system". So here it is! a game that in theory should work better with the Wii controller, since a major mechanic of the game is brush strokes of a paintbrush.

What we have here today is a video collection of the Wii build in action thanks to IGN, who also having some time with the game say that for the most part the graphical differences are better where there are differences, mainly because it just runs a a better frame-rate, and is somehow brighter and more vibrant on the Wii, but mostely it has the same look. As far as controls go, they say

...using the Celestial Brush with an analog stick just feels clumsy when compared to the accuracy and speed gained with the Wii remote... On Wii, you will very regularly bring up the Brush and make quick, decisive strokes, slicing through gates, summoning bombs, blooming trees or cutting through opponents with calculated speed, and then going right back to exploration without skipping a beat.
