Okamiden trademarked for US (hooray!) photo

Good news for those longing to hear about a North American Okamiden release. Capcom has recently trademarked the game in the United States, all but confirming that the DS sequel to Okami will be hitting the land of the round eyes some time in the future. Praise be to Yevon!

Okamiden was also trademarked for Europe, meaning that a worldwide release ought to be on the cards. Certainly something we'd all hoped for, and given that Okami famously didn't sell too well, it's very good to know that Capcom is still prepared to put it out there. Maybe this time Capcom could actually put some marketing weight behind it, and it'll shift more than five copies.

Somewhere, someplace MK is smiling happily.

New Yevon > Yevon. I wanted Barali to have his own game.

Also, I can't wait for this. Even though I never finished the Okami. After I killed the big dragon thing, I was done, and no game was going to tell me differently.

YES!! Man... they should have put Ammy and Issun in TvC that would have been downright nutty.

Capcom has earned so much respect from me just now. Not only do they release Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom in the U.S. knowing it won't sell, but they are also releasing the sequel to a game that also didn't sell well in the U.S.

I love you, Capcom.

Yeah, I agree. Nice to see that Capcom is making an effort to bring these niche games to us. Hooray for Capcom!

Good show. I think it could find a good home on DS, such a shame it took Capcom so long to get the stylus writing thing down.

Lets hope, help from the casuals will boost those sales.

Okami is one hell of a game. It was like my "Ocarina of Time". Good news!

Hope this game comes to consoles.
I really want a sequel to Okami for the next generation.
