Okami 2 sequel and Okami Wii port wanted by its designer
The action/adventure game Okami was made by Capcom for PS2. It combined several Japanese myths and legends to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess, named Amaterasu, who has taken the form of a white wolf that you played as.
And if Devil May Cry creator and Okami designer Hideki Kamiya has anything to do with it, there’ll be more epic wolf action soon in an Okami 2 sequel that he has in mind. He revealed Capcom has no concrete plans to make Okami 2, and nothing has been greenlit. However, insiders told Kotaku that while it’s not his decision to make, he would still really like to create Okami 2.
Meanwhile, Capcom’s Mega Man designer Keiji Inafune is considering a Wii port saying: “Of course [a Wii version of Okami is] something that I’ve personally thought about, but it’s easier said than done. It’s a cliche, but it’s not just saying, ‘Okay, let’s port it over here.’ There’s technology, controls and then people to make the game, whether it’s scheduling or knowing the hardware you want to take it to.”
Obviously it would be a perfect match for the Wii motion sensor controls, so he continued: “It’s not out of the realm of possibility, but we don’t have any plans for it right now, and nothing to comment on,” he told Gameinformer.
Update November 6th 2008: Capcom has released their sales data for the Wii version of Okami that was released earlier in 2008. Total sales on Wii were over 300,000, that’s 210,000 units sold in America and 90,000 units sold in Europe! At last count in March 2007, after a year the PlayStation 2 version of Okami ended up selling 270,000 units worldwide. — I guess what I’m getting at is that overall sales of 570,000+ would make a possible Okami sequel more likely.

HEY! OKAMI 2 MUST COME OUT! there r so many ties to it. such as: Wakka at the end with the seed in hand, and them heading to the plains. also, many times said by issun and wakka that it was just the begining of a even greater adventure. ALSO before the celestial plains had been invaded by demons, so Ammy and wakka have to go and clear them out. another thing is that, when the moon tribe sent the Ark of Yammato, y were there demons on it, so they would have to investigate that. Ive also heard that yes, CLOVER shut down, but they made a new company didnt they? so couldnt that company make and okami 2? anyways, these are all the reasons i can come up with for ties to Okami 2, but im sure there are more, so Okami 2, will u marry me? lol
