Inafune talks about new position at Capcom and Okami - Image 1

Keiji Inafune was recently interviewed by Game Informer about his new position in Capcom and other videogaming-related issues. One of the most interesting highlights of the discussions is when the Mega Man-designer was asked about the possibility of having critically-acclaimed PS2 title Okami on Wii.

First and foremost, Keiji Inafune clarified that he is no longer directly making games. He was promoted to oversee all production at Capcom, meaning he has to make sure that games under them follow quality standards. Basically, his new job is to make sure that Capcom remains a force to reckon with in the gaming industry.

The discussion then shipped to Clover Studio and its departure from Capcom. Despite this, Inafune mentioned that Viewtiful Joe and Okami are still owned by Capcom so a sequel is possible should they want it. When asked if fans will ever have Okami on Wii, he answered,


Of course that's something that I've personally thought about, but it's easier said than done. It's a cliche, but it's not just saying, "Okay, let's port it over here." There's technology, controls, and then people to make the game, whether itÂ’s scheduling or knowing the hardware you want to take it to. It's not out of the realm of possibility.


Despite that, the renowned designer shared as well that Capcom is not considering sequels right now. And on a personal note, Inafune added,


Something like Okami, you can't really have another company make a sequel or other people make a sequel - that's something that only the people who made Okami, it's so unique to them, it wouldn't be a sequel, it would be something else.
