It looks like the PlayStation manufacturer is sticking to its guns, as Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House […]
Capcom sure loves churning out ports, but in the case of Okami, we can’t really fault them. The unique cel-shaded adventure heavily influenced by Japanese mythology hit the PS2 back in 2006, with a Wii port following in 2008.
