Capcom moves Okami release date on Nintendo Wii to April 15

March 4, 2008

For those who are eagerly awaiting the release of Okami on the Nintendo Wii this March, we have some bad news for you. Publisher Capcom has confirmed that the game will see another delay and will be launched in April instead. Know the full details after the jump!

Back in February, Ready At Dawn has admitted that its team is having a hard time porting the PS2 original Okami to the Nintendo Wii. True enough, the title has already missed several times its scheduled release date.

Prior to this, Capcom has said that Nintendo Wii owners will finally be playing as the wolf-god Amaterasu this coming March 25. However, the publisher is now saying that the port will be released on April 15.

The publisher failed to provide a reason for the delay but many industry analysts are thinking that the three-week postponement of Okami‘s release is due to the fact that Ready At Dawn has been busy with God of War: Chains of Olympus for the PlayStation Portable.

To make the wait more bearable, just enjoy the new images and assets that were sent to QJ.NET by Capcom for Okami.
