Platinum's Kamiya Voices Concern Over Missing Okami Credits

Acclaimed Okami designer Hideki Kamiya has expressed frustration with publisher Capcom's decision to omit the original development team credits from the United States version of Ready At Dawn's Okami Wii port.

When Okami players asked this question on the official Capcom.com messageboards last week, Capcom's community manager Seth Killian explained:

"The credits were removed because they were a pre-rendered movie that contained the Clover logo. We have no legal right to use the Clover logo in a game they were not involved with directly.

Such a shame this occurred. What is Capcom's honest reason why they cut out the original team(s) credits? Not some weak excuse, like this.
(sigh)

So , because of the port, it means that Clover's team is now eliminated of there own work ? WTF, i believed the port was a sort of tribute to the game.
Maybe in Capcom secret's law only best selling games must be respected...

Shame on capcom !
Does someone sells reprodution of the Joconde without the name of Da Vinci on it ?
