Forget Playing Okami on Wii Creator Doesn't Want That

Okami creator Hideki Kamiya has sparked controversy among fans by expressing his disdain for the Wii version of the beloved game. Following the recent announcement of an Okami sequel, he advised fans to avoid playing the Wii iteration, stating that it is not the original. Instead, he recommends the HD version for the best experience. The Wii version, which allows for unique motion controls using the Wiimote, was not developed by Kamiya, and he emphasizes that the PS2 version is the true original. As anticipation builds for the untitled Okami sequel, fans are left wondering which version of Okami is worth their time.

According to Hideki Kamiya, you should play the HD version of Okami rather than the Wii version, as he considers the Wii iteration not to be the original game.

Okami was initially released in 2006 for the PlayStation 2 and has since gained a loyal following due to its unique cel-shaded art style and innovative gameplay mechanics centered around using a paintbrush to interact with the world. The game has been ported to various platforms, but fans are particularly interested in the upcoming sequel as it marks a significant continuation of the franchise, which has only seen a spiritual successor, Okamiden. The excitement surrounding the sequel announcement at the Game Awards has reignited interest in the franchise and the various versions of the original game.
