Many people who've played Okami thought immediately of the Wii in the paintbrush sections, as the Wii remote seems to be the perfect controller for the game, and thus this rumour has arrived on top of months of wishful speculation.
But the story continues, as IGN contacted Capcom UK about the rumour, and while they don't outright deny it, they do everything but, saying "Officially we have no plans for Okami on Wii at this time. Research and development are always looking at possibilities but given Clover is now closed for business, I think it highly unlikely a Wii version would be possible."
While it's still unlikely to happen - ports of underperforming games rarely do any better on the new platform - a denial from a small regional subsidiary hardly quashes the rumour altogether. We'll keep an ear out for any word on the alleged project from Capcom's more senior divisions. In the meantime, you could always paint over a jpeg of Okami art in the Wii's photo channel and pretend you have the game...
