For those who care - Capcom is offering Okami directly from their Capcom USA Online Store for $19.99! At this price it would be criminal not to get it, so those of you who never tried it - this is your chance! And no, this is not a sales pitch - I just hate to see such critically acclaimed game to sell so poorly because it did not have "Nintendo" or "Zelda" attached to it. Twenty bucks for a brand new game that scored 9's and 10's to me is once in a lifetime opportunity...

I paid $18 for Okami at Amazon 3 weeks ago, plus a little extra for shipping and handling. I'm already set ;)

lol only the fleet foot or whatever that dodge thing is, is broken. Well sometimes the bloom/cherry bomb doesn't work, but I think the PS2 version sometimes does that too right?

I have trouble with the waggle attack working. I never had any problems with the celestial brush.

I heard the Wii version was good but it had a few control issues when compared to the PS2 version. I definitely want to get Okami but I haven't decided the platform =/

Actually, I found Wii controls not that bad at all... Selestial brush for example was practically built for the Wiimote :) And Wii version also has full 16:9 widescreen support and progressive scan, which PS2 version does not...

Yeah, you gotta remember that when you're selecting. I love the Wii version, personally.

Don't buy it, standard shipping is $8.95 you're better off just buying it off Amazon or in stores.

Just so happens that Capcom site is where I found about the price cut, but you are right... Doesn't matter where, Amazon, Gamestop, EB Games, or Capcom - just buy it already! :)

Now, that $20 price tag for Okami Wii, is that only on the web, or is it also in stores? I'm going to the movies with my boyfriend later and I'm pretty sure a stop at either Eb Games or Gamestop is on the agenda. Gamestop has some pretty smokin' deals to be had.

How is fleet foot broken? The only troublesome thing is making straight lines but that is easily fixed with the 'Z' button.

Looks like the price drop is also in effect in physical stores - both EB and Gamestop have it listed at $19.99

Ohh you mean with reflectors and glaives? Those gave me a little bit of trouble at first too, but actually you just need to time it. Sometimes it may feel like the timing for the reflectors are a little unfair, but to me it beats just spamming waggle with the beads.

Fleet foot is the move where you shake the nunchuck and Ammy dodges right? I shook the nunchuck in the same direction a few times and sometimes Ammy might dodge in a different direction. It kinda turned me off for really using that in battle. Does it work right for you?

Only buy this on the Wii version...Trust me. You can skip long text if you want to(especially valueable for 2nd playthroughs) and the brush strokes are much faster, which keeps you in the game more. Wii version is much better to me, and pretty much every reviewer as well.

Fleet foot does not work... Though you don't need it at all. Only broken technique.

If you haven't bought this game yet then you are missing the top game on the Wii. Plus more sales=better chance for a sequel.

Yeah I've seen this game at the same price at just about every other store I've been too. It's really good news for me, since I plan on purchasing some good new games for my birthday. I plan to pick up this one, and probably No More Heroes and Umbrella Chronicles or Zack and Wiki. Either way, I want to go on a Wii shopping spree. :D

I didn't have any problems with the Wii controls either. Drawing with the Wiimote worked great, and the waggle controls worked very well too. Dodging with the Nunchuck was a bit too sensitive, but I rarely used it and I completed the game without any problems. This game is just great, I'd recommend it to anyone.

I bought the Wii version for $40 and I call that a bargain price. Okami's story is so long, and even after you beat it, you got New Game+ and plenty of sidequests. So at the price of $20, this is definately a must-buy for PS2 and Wii owners. I actually think the Wii controls are an improvement to the game.
