Confirmed in the latest issue of Famitsu, Capcom is working on a follow-up to Clover Studios’ Okami for release in Japan some time in 2010. The game is in the works for the Nintendo DS and will be called “Okamiden: Chiisaki Taiyou” (which, according to people with better Japanese skills than me, means something along the lines of “Okami Legend: The Small Sun”).
Okamiden will pick up a several months after the end of the first story. Plays will take on the role of Chibiterasu (apparently a younger version of Okami’s Amaterasu). Joining Chibiterasu will be Issun and Sakuya from the first game, along with Susano’s son, Kuninushi.
The gameplay will be similar to that of the original game, requiring players to draw spells on the screen (something that will hopefully translate a lot better to the DS than it did to the Wii).
There hasn’t been any word yet of a U.S. release, but being a fan of Okami, I’m personally looking forward to hearing more about Okamiden.
Nikki Blight: is still trying to find that damn princess... when she's not writing fresh code for the217.com.
