I thought the PlayStation 2 epic "Okami" was the best game of 2006 - but most of you were too busy chain-sawing aliens in "Gears of War" to take a look at this masterpiece from Capcom's now-disbanded Clover Studio. Well, here's your second chance: Capcom is digging up this buried treasure and will be republishing it for the Wii.
"Okami" always felt like a Wii game anyway. Throughout the game you're required to use a "Celestial Brush" to draw spells or solve puzzles. On the PS2, you had to hold an awkward combination of buttons to use the brush; the Wii, presumably, will let you draw by simply pointing the remote at the screen.
Since the Clover team has separated, the Wii translation is being handled by Ready at Dawn, the studio behind the PSP game "Daxter." I almost wish I hadn't played "Okami" already, because it's sure to be one of the best Wii games of 2008.
