Okami HD Release Date Revealed For Japan

I’m hoping Capcom breaks down and releases a physical version. Otherwise I might pass. A game like this is bound to take up some massive real estate in my Switch’s limited memory.

If that Limited Edition means a physical one, never can be too sure with Capcom nowadays, then I really hope it comes to the West!

Here I go. Off to spend another fortune after shelling out the wonga on Bayonetta Non-Stop Climax Edition. It does look lovely though, hope this is in a similar vein.

Yes I've got more money than sense before anyone asks. I'm not rich btw, just not very clever.

Can't wait to get this classic Sony PlayStation 2 title again.

I enjoyed this on the Wii but I don't think it's a game I would want to play again.

Waiting for a confirmation of a physical edition. Then, the price. If it's over 30€, then I'll move to the Xbox One version, which is 19,95 from day 1 and it's going to get discounted at some point, as usual when it comes to disc-based games outside Nintendo.

Will consider if physical (man this should be my catchphrase)

if it is digital only in NA, I will hard pass. My memory card is too full as-is

That's a really good price! Hope it's roughly the same in the west when it releases

Okami's file size on PS4 isn't too bad, so we can hope that the file size on Switch isn't too bad either. If Resident Evil Revelations is about 12GB, I would expect this game to be around that mark as well.

However, Capcom has been extremely weird with how they're handling Switch games, so I have no clue what they're going to do. Mega Man Legacy Collection has the first collection (only 300mb) on a Switch card, while the 2nd half of the game is 5GB and requires a hefty download. The Revelations Collection did the same thing pretty much, so I would brace for Capcom to be Capcom and dole this game out as some kinda half physical half digital release.

It is a good game but I really don't feel the need to play it again.

Now Capcom, how about a Onimusha Trilogy collection next? Or Breath of Fire collection?

Getting this digital since I’ll be abroad this summer

With Okami coming to a new console seems like it's only fair Resident Evil 4 should make it to Switch as well. Those 2 seem to want to keep each other company on every console that releases.

Day one. It's perfect for the Switch.

Got it one last time on PC. At this point pretty much the best version and will never loose it. Yet to download it - more of a want to have than actually play. But this game should live on forever, so glad to see it on Switch.

I loved this game for the most part. It just felt like it went on a bit longer than it had to (boss gauntlet was kind of a slog as well). Still, it was good enough that I got Okamiden (enjoyable for a single play as well) on day 1. If a physical release comes to Switch, I will definitely consider it.

I will have to look into what is in the limited edition, since I'm getting the JPN version.

Better come early here in EU, hopefully RETAIL and fairly priced...

Hoping for some earlier Resident Evil games in a collection from Capcom eventually. I'm happy for Okami fans, but its not for me.

Please let the limited edition be coming here. I will insta-preorder it if it does.

If I hadn't of already had this on the ps4 I would of waited for the Switch version.Only finished the game two weeks ago and was one of the most beautiful looking games I've played with a brilliant story that kept me occupied for about 60 hours.

Anybody know if the JPN version is up for pre-order? Might import a copy.

I hope this isn't another Japan-only physical release with zero English support. I'd love to have a box of this game on my shelf, along with subtitles in the game for me to enjoy.

Any idea whether this will have English mode? The PS4 version did

Physical version or bust.

Any idea if the Japanese version comes in english too?

And Hopefully capcom releases this one in physical form so i can import it

I bought this three times already (PS2, Wii, & PS3). I think I'll pass.

The definitive version of Okami is a day one buy for me.

I usually don't buy ports of games I already have. Played it on Wii, got for HD on PS3 and may get it here for portability.

Both are classics and deserve it. Kamiya was on a roll back then.

@sinalefa "Both are classics and deserve it. Kamiya was on a roll back then."

We'll I'd agree Okami is a "Classic" b/c it is still to this day 1 of a kind, but RE4? It may be the last good RE or the best RE, but there are so many RE games, and so many clones, does 4 really stand out that much to be considered a "Classic"? I only played the first 15 minutes or so, could never get past that first mob rush in the village. I was told years later I needed to ring a bell, or stay alive until a bell wrung, or something, but I never stayed alive for more than 5 minutes. Maybe if it gets a Switch port I should play it.

Man I missed this game back in the day, but I have been wanting and meaning to play it since I watched Chuggaconroy LP it years ago!

@rjejr

Not only RE4 did it first, but that particular camera influenced games like Gears of War, Dead Space and the Arkham games. There is a reason why Capcom keeps milking that cow. Game is flawed of course but it won many GOTY awards back in the day.

I have this on wii, ps2, pc, ps3 and ps4...Someone send help.

@sinalefa "GOTY awards back in the day."

So did Mario 64 and Zelda OoT but I'm not spending any time playing either of them today when I could be playing Odyssey and BotW instead. Or even Galaxy and TP. Okami was strange and unusual enough for me to be timeless, RE4 had many games before and after. Not saying it shoudln't be ported or played, just don't view it as classic as Okami. I'd rather see Parasite Eve get the longevity treatment. It was a RE clone w/ some flaws but it had some great early use of CGI and a very unusual story. Though I am biased b/c it's the first "modern" game I played, not counting my misspent adolescent years playing Pacman and Joust, and it takes place in NY. The sequel was a straight up RE clone, and it was horrible. I just pretend it doesn't exist.

@CurtBro Well I don't really know anything about Fortnite but I'm going to guess you aren't a fan of it or Okami.

@CurtBro Resident Evil 4 is one of my favourite games ever, but so is Okami and honestly Okami is the better one for me. So yeah, Okami is a classic over RE 4 in my case. I couldn't care less about Fortnite.

there are indeed physical editions of this game for japan with there being about 5 different bundle choices.

It would be nice of you could also tell what the difference is between those two versions?

want this version soooo badly. Sigh.

Probably a limited Limited Edition for US with a downloadcode in a box, and not even that for Europe. It's Capcom. Sometimes GENIUS games, often very dumb publishing decisions.
