Earlier this month, Capcom trademarked the word Okamiden leaving many to believe that Capcom would finally be making a new Okami game. Well, turns out it was true!
Okamiden is featured in the latest issue of Famitsu and you can see a scan of the article from True-Gaming up above. The new game is coming out for the DS and will be out sometime in 2010.
I’m impressed that the Capcom was able to keep the stylized look of Okami on the DS. The DS is also perfect for the controls Okami presents. Just please, no more Issun, okay?

Now I just have to finish Okami for PS2...
I still demand an Okami for the DS, dammit!"
thnx guyz
"Just please, no more Issun, okay?"
^This.
At that second thousands upon thousands of angels descended and proclaimed a great, united, victorious:
Hell yeah!
You must obviously be talking about having nothing for LATE 2010 with Scribblenauts, Sprit Tracks and Bower's Inside Story on the way. Man I love the DS.
Do you mean you expected the DS not to handle it, when we have plenty of awesome looking cel-shaded games on it?
hhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
hhhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
But I digress, the fact that Okami is getting a sequel proves there will always be good in the world.
Anyways, FUCK YEAH, OKAMI!
I got what you were trying to say as after all the DS is built more like a N64 than a PS2. Though it could work as the better looking games are either sprite based or 2D cartoons.
I played okami when i had a PS2, then got a Wii -> then Okami(wii ver.) I'm optimistic but from the screenshots, it looks real nice. The cel-shading attempt looks decent enough. I hope this iteration of okami does well :)
OH MY GOD!
What an awesome surprise! :D
and let's face it, Okami was made for the DS.
I'm soooooooooooo happy it is going to be a DS game! DS is my favorite gaming system.
at least Capcom realizes Okami is wanted.
Of those only Scriblenauts interests me...but that's probably more than enough. I don't use the DS much with a Wii and PS3 around.
Still, i'd rather it be on the Wii/PS3 >_>
Ummm, the game was on Wii...
Perhaps he only knew about the Ps2 version?
I need to get a DS now...
Any news on the time-line? Is it a sequel or a prequel? And Hamza, they better keep Issun in or it's a no deal. I mean the way he came through in the end of the first one was great. Made cry every time. :D
Honestly I can't wait to hear more news. I'm buying a DS for this.
Though I'm a bit skeptical about Ammy being a cube...
I sincerely hope that Issun will be back and that the sound doesn't suck or they should do like Ni No Kuni the biggest cartridge size possible.
Day 1 buy for me though !!!!!
F*** YEAH !
Didn't Platinum Studios take over Clover? So the name is gone but there are still people from Clover working at Capcom.
Platinum Games are an independent studio though, so unless Capcom outsources it to them, they won't be involved.
This is nicer, as the interface works better ths way. I'll look forward to it.
Clover Studio are now known as Platinum Games, after leaving Capcom.
I have no idea why Capcom wouldn't make this game for a real system. Okami would look sooo much better in beautiful HD graphics on the ps3/360. Okami made the Wii chug, much like No More Heroes.... I'm sure it won't be anything but blocky on the DS, afterall it's not a nintendo IP.
Fingers crossed!
