Okami Coming to PlayStation 3

So says Famitsu.

Original story: Do you remember Okami? The unique Clover Studio-developed and Capcom-published game originally came to PlayStation 2 back in 2006, garnering a glowing score from IGN. It was later ported to Wii in 2008, where it earned another great score. And now, Andriasang is reporting that famous Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has revealed that it’s coming to PlayStation 3.

The PS3 iteration of Okami is reportedly “a remastered version of the original” game, and will be referred to as Okami: Zekkie-ban, or Okami: Magnificent Version.

The game will reportedly support 1080p HD visuals and will be released in Japan on November 1, 2012 for the just under 4,000 Yen (or around $50). It will be PlayStation Move-enabled.

It's unclear if Capcom intends on releasing the PS3 iteration of Okami in the west. We’ve reached out to Capcom for further comment and will update when we hear back.

No. It's not a direct conversion. The rate fluctuates so much that each region has standard pricing.

And the correct price has been confirmed at $ 19.99
