Ever since creative, Asian-inspired action/adventure game Okami was released, gamers have wondered how the game's paintbrush style of interaction would translate onto the Wii. There was a collective smile around the world when it was announced that the formerly PS2-only title would in fact be arriving on the motion-sensitive console - but not much had been heard about the project since.

However, it all changes today with Capcom coming to our rescue. They've given us not one, but two Wii gameplay videos, as well as a whole pile of brand new screenshots from the platform. This should be more than enough to give you a good idea of how it'll all pan out!

While we don't have a set release date for this in Australia, Okami for Wii will be released in late March overseas. That could mean either we'll see it sometime around then ...or they could repeat the delay we saw with the original, and you may have to wait another 12 months before getting your hands on this one. Fingers crossed!
