Granted I haven't played Okami, but VJ was a (whored-out) turd and God Hand screams niche.

Can't say I'm sorry.

Not really much of a shock. They didn't have any successful games outside of Viewtiful Joe, really.

Still sad to see. I blame Himuro, and if he ever badmouths Okami again, he'll never post on GAF again. PM me if he does badmouth it.

For the record, I'll go on to state that I don't think this is as bad as it may seem. Kamiya did not magically become innovative or stylistic because he was suddenly at Clover. He still created RE2, DMC and VJ at Capcom proper. If Clover Studios never existed, Okami still would have been created. Mikami also... he created something like God Hand, but like P.N. 03 he still would have created it at Capcom itself. (Let's ignore that Clover was a part of Capcom anyway, de facto.)

Capcom's games are the type that don't really rely on the actual developers but more so on the actual thinkers that initiate the projects. If Kamiya gets his next big idea, it's going to get made.

i remember capcom actually being pleased with how okami performed in the japanese charts, along with zx.

really surprising these news.

In all seriousness, a Wii port of Okami would be a great fit. Nintendo's usual audience would lap it up, graphically they could do wonders, and "painting" with the wiimote could be absolutely amazing.
