Capcom has announced that Ôkami for the Wii has begun shipping to retail. Available for the first time in widescreen with 480p graphics, Ôkami gives players an opportunity to rediscover the critically-acclaimed PS2 game with a higher level of interactivity using the Wiimote.
Ôkami for the PS2 was hailed as “Game of the Year” by multiple magazines and websites, including Associated Press and IGN.com.
Ôkami tells the story of Amaterasu, the Japanese sun god, who takes the form of a wolf and sets out on an amazing journey to restore a ruined, darkened world into a beautiful place full of life and color. Commanding the elements and various magical abilities, the player uses Okami’s signature “Celestial Brush” to revitalize life and defeat the tyrannical and destructive monster Orochi, effectively “painting” on the screen with the Wii Remote.
Mixing Japanese folklore and a traditional Japanese art style, Ôkami comes alive on Wii with its awe-inspiring art style and scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art.
