Wii #0642 - Okami (USA)

[Alerek]

was a great game on ps2, despite the wonky drawing controls with an analog stick...looking forward to wagging my wiimote with this one

GREAT STORY! Beautiful Graphics....Well worth $40.

Well I am off for a nighshift. Should be up on Easynews by the time I get home in the morning. I have never got or used freeloader on my chipped Wii. Might have to give it a try if this does not work on pal.

 

[mousan]

is there french language in the us release ?? or is it only english

 

[johny69]

So I hope it works on PAL so I can give it a try

Freeloader ... Gonna get this game tonight, whee.

Well to be honest I don't think there is any difference between Freeloader and a chipped Wii which can change the region bit on the fly. The Freloader must do the same thing for people that just don't have chipped Wii's. So if it doesn't play on a Chipped Wii it won't play with Freeloader also. Correct me if I'm wrong

FreeLoader, if used with a chiiped Wii, stops the double channels ... it basically blocks updates.

And, on an unchipped Wii, it makes the Wii temporarily region-free, and sorts out the updates.

So to recap. Aside the double channel feature is there a game of a different region then the one that the console is that will work with the freeloader and not with out it (on a chipped Wii)? More simple version

Is there any difference between the region auto patching of chips and the Freeloader?

I need this game.

Some games are less likely to have issues if you freeloader them, than if you regionfrii/brickblock them.

for instance, with Trauma Centre : New Blood , and Metroid 3, people experience fewer issues if they do a straight burn and use freeloader, than if they patch the ISO, then burn it.

Or, so I have noticed, from posts on various sites.

please control with trucha signer if there is the spanish language!

So many releases, but still no sign of the Milestone Shooting Collection, which was released 4 days ago.
Well, Okami is at least good fun to kill the time.
But man, i absolutely can't wait for the MSC (aka Karous Wii).

 

[Bob Evil]

Karous has been on many sites for days, Jockel.

 

[Jockel]

WTF Srsly? oO why isnt it listened here, then?

 

[lolsjoel]

Nice. I'm excited to give this game a shot and see if it's something I'd like to purchase. I hear it's going to be a great Zelda alternative for the Wii.

 

[Bob Evil]

I just PM'd you a link ... other sites have it, too.

I have no idea whay it isn't here ... possibly because all the versions of it, that are on the net, are scrubbed.

 

[jalaneme]

even if it don't work on pal we can patch it with that program anyway so no probs.

edit: it seems the Wii opera channel has been dumped too but it's not listed here yet, you can't do much with it as it needs that wad thingy.

 

[Bob Evil]

I'm playing this now ... it's pretty decent ... 'feels' better than the PS2 version, to be honest.

I liked the PS2 version, but was not as wow'd by it, as many people were.

 

[jalaneme]

that was fast thebobevil, it's not even on usenet yet :S

 

[KTroopA]

thebobevil could you pm me also plz.

 

[Bob Evil]

A few private trackers have it, but I got mine from a friend, who dropped it off 20 or so minutes ago.

I have only played about 10 minutes of it, to see what the controls felt like.

 

[Rulza]

Downloading right now.
I'm extremely hyped about this game, been wanting to play it ever since it was released on the PS2

 

[Puxel]

Ive been waiting for this for a while. Getting on it now.

I don't often post on these - but for the love of god BUY THIS GAME.

It's a massive insult to the state of the gaming industry, that companies like Clover have to fold due to low sales.

That's exactly how I felt with Zack and Wiki. The game was just too enjoyable to be so unknown and undersold. Not that Capcom is going under for releasing ZW, but the piss poor sales could easily shy them away from releasing ZWII - and that would be a shame. This game, I've never played it, I've never cared about it and I'm backlogged on games as it is. As such, I'm downloading it now to test the game to see if it's something I'll find enjoyable. If it is, this'll be a game I'd buy to support the effort that Capcom is putting in to the Wii despite their abysmal sales on anything not Resident Evil.
