No, for serious. According to early leaks from this month's Famitsu issue, it's called Okamiden and it's being made for the DS, scheduled for Japanese release sometime next year. Obviously Clover is no more, but there's no indication if any of the original creators over at Platinum are involved with the development. I can't imagine that split going well, and Kamiya was busy with Bayonetta until just recently, so it seems unlikely.

Still, Capcom apparently is willing to give it a second chance even after it was a miserable commerical failure, so that's interesting at the very least.

I don't really understand how Okami didn't do well. Even my li'l sister loved Okami, and she hates video games.

Also it's worth mentioning, even though it's pretty unlikely anybody involved in the first game is working on this one, Capcom definitely has experience making this kind of game on handhelds. Hell, they made several of the handheld Zelda games for Nintendo before they started making them on their own again with Phantom Hourglass. Never played Minish Cap, but Oracle of Seasons/Ages was pretty great.

Minish Cap was the best handheld Zelda ever (Link to the Past remake excepted). I'm stating it now.

Minish Cap is the worst Zelda-like Zelda (hence, excepting the CD-i ones and Link's Adventure). However, OoS/A are really good, so whatever. I'm excited for more Okami.

Liar, Link's Awakening was obviously the best handheld Zelda.

I'm impressed Capcom is pursuing a sequel. Happy to hear mind you, but rather surprised.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #6 on:** 01 Sep 2009, 10:11 »

Awesome. Last I heard from this it was an unconfirmed rumor, but now I see it's real. Can't wait to play it.

I am excited for a new Okami. I am, however, not at all excited that it's on the DS. Ever since seeing the new Prince of Persia I have been dreaming about how awesome an Okami sequel would be on a console that can push out some amazing graphics. The three scans they have on the DS look really nice but it still makes me sad. I was worried since hearing the announcement that they were revealing the game that it was going to be for the Wii. Capcom has this horrible habit of supporting the system with good games even when they do horribly. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to get my wii back from my sister to play this.

I dunno. If none of the original staff is involved, it kind of kills it for me.

Got a copy of Okami to play myself recently. Such a great game

I too don't understand how it wasn't a commercial hit.

I think you are forgetting that it is a game in which painting symbols on the screen is a significant game mechanic. What could be a better input device for that purpose than a stylus?

Ikrik · « **Reply #20 on:** 04 Jul 2010, 22:18 »

It wasn't difficult to do on the PS2, sure it took a little bit more time and it was a little difficult to draw a circle...but not all that much. Just because the stylus will make drawing the symbols easier doesn't mean that it was broken on the PS2. You would almost think that it would control better on the Wii because of the motion controls what with the slashing and drawing and stuff...but it didn't.

I'd still much rather see this on a console that can push out some really heavy graphics because this game would be unparalleled in terms of pretty. And it would still control amazing, symbols and all.

Johnny C · « **Reply #21 on:** 06 Jul 2010, 00:22 »

the wii version was disappointing because they made the symbols waaaaaay too finicky for the motion you could actually get out of the remote

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #22 on:** 06 Jul 2010, 10:36 »

I kept failing that one, "Make the Great Tree Bloom," in the Wii version cause it wouldn't register my circles. I almost completely gave up on it but I finally got through.

Blue Kitty · « **Reply #23 on:** 11 Mar 2011, 14:05 »

For some reason it came out today instead of next tuesday like everyone's been saying. Haven't had a chance to play it yet, what with getting Pokemon and Kirby's Epic Yarn recently, but I did get a Cosmic Brush stylus and some kind of cleaning cloth for pre-ordering it.
