Nintendo Wii Fanboy

I just might take your advice. If only I wasn't going to be traveling soon. I won't have much time to play it.

Yeah, well, why not buy it now and play it later. Because it is true that the game needs time, but you may not find a better deal than this any time soon. This game is honestly FAR better than Zelda: TP in my opinion...

It's actually $30, but I would still strongly suggest going for it, although I would disagree about the TP comparison (which is not to say that Okami is bad. It's epic beyond all reason, I just think that TP was more so.). I haven't beaten the game yet, but so far it's felt a lot like TP, except I'm stuck in wolf form and the main character doesn't have any meaningful interactions with people besides a bug on her snout. Link may be a mute, but at least he's an expressive mute.

Damn, I was just out by a best buy yesterday too..

it makes you come back and spend more on their crap, not anyone else's

It also prevents price matching.

Honestly I'd get Boom Blox and then pick up a used Okami for the PS2. You'd think Okami would be fantastic on the Wii but they were really lazy with the controls.

Blah blah blah support Okami blah blah blah It was a great game blah blah blah help express to the gaming industry that extremely unique games are heavily valued and profitable blah blah blah.

We've all said the same shpeal before...
Bottom Lines -

Boom Blox: Unique game that roxes the soxes. But hey, it's already getting support from other people. Nothing to worry about there. You can wait til' the price drops again.

Okami: Unique game that blows the pants off of people. Yes, there's a PS2 version. Yes, it's cheaper. Yes, the Wii version isn't "perfect". But the game isn't gonna' show up on charts if bought through USED PS2 bargain bins... and if this game doesn't get the support that it needs AGAIN, then you might as well send a letter to future game-producers that these type of games will never sell.

Blah blah.

Yeah, support a half-assed port. Great idea.

Get Boom Blox. Then maybe the ps2 version of Okami, gotta draw the line with ports unless they are fantastic upgrades.

The original developers of Okami have been desolved, you'd only be supporting a huge 3rd party who doesn't give a damn what you do so long as they get your money.

Money talks. And as long as it sells, they'll consider things about it.

Yeah, so it ain't by the same company... and it is a half-@ssed port. But as long as the game sells, they'll still consider making something more out of it (or something like it)... and hey, if they screw up, then don't bother buying it.

I'd rather take that risk, for the possibility of getting something good out of it. Slim, but I'll take the chance.
Better than just leaving Okami to die unrecognized (saleswise, that is).

In my opinion, of course.
