What a shame.

▲ In other news, a PSP game, FF012 got an 8.0, I was really hoping Okamiden would have gotten the same praise the original did. They should really get Platinum games to make the true sequel for the PS3.▲

You need graphics to achieve that art style. Those black paint strokes finishing the characters are made out of polygons.

It would definitely had a better chance at sales, due to the extra attention it would give it. But now it has to fight with 999, Radiant Historia, Ghost Trick, and Pokemon itself. I would be surprised if it had good sales.

Just watched the review, so basically it got marked down for recycling idea from okami and for being a bit easy.Which i think is a fair criticism

▲ The Wii? What would be the point, Okami was already on the Wii and it was inferior to the PS2 version. If you put it on the Wii, it would look the same graphically. On the glorious PS3, the graphics and artstyle would be 10X better. Also, If one wants too claim it would play better with motion controls, well, the ps3 has MOVE. ▲

I mean if they can't afford to put it on an HD console, at the very least, a new okami on the wii would be fine, better than on a handheld at the very least.

The 3DS has a pretty mehh launch in itself so a game like this could've really benefitted from being a launch title.:( Did the original Okami do good commercially though?

As far as modern launches go, the 3DS has it well made, but no, Okami did not do good at all. It did not do good on the PS2, and it didn't change on the Wii.

No, the original Okami did horribly in terms of sales. So horribly that they decided to port it to the wii, and it didn't even manage financially well there.

I'm buying the 3DS at launch, (hopefully) but besides Pilotwings, the line-up is pretty... Yeah.:? It does have great games coming real soon but if it weren't for Pokemon, I'd probably be fiddling around with the AR cards for a month.:P

Also that's unfortunate for Okami, I loved that game!:(

I'm buying it anyway.

This would be a great game to play on the 3DS. (even though it won't have the 3D effect I would still like to have it.)

Yeah but people tend to hype Okami for it's art style not so much for the graphics behind it.

Capcom has been developing this game before the 3DS was announced so it was just bad Timing.

Now Pokemon Black and White however....THAT obviously should have been a 3DS title.

I watched some gameplay videos & really liked the whole painting thing. I've had Okami for the PS2 for awhile but haven't gotten around to playing it. How does the painting thing on the PS2? I can see it working well on the Wii, but, well, I didn't want to have to use motion controls.

I think Okamiden would've been amazing on the 3DS as a launch title but yeah, bad timing I guess.:P As for Pokemon, I'm pretty sure Nintendo's thinking about a Pokemon GREY/GRAY as a 3DS exclusive will tweeks and new features with the 3D capabilities + better graphics.:P

Should have been a Wii game. Game looks like absolute ass regardless of art styIe.

How does the painting thing on the PS2?

Twin-Blade


It works quite well actually. It doesn't hurt the game either. Having the Wiimote makes it easier and faster, but they made it work on the PS2 well enough for it to be a fantastic game.

I'd still recommend getting Okamiden. It's averaging low-mid AA. GS can be a little harsh on lack of originality.

slightly disappointed as i found the wii version really good, and i figured they'd finally found the right controls for the brush to take out a few of the annoyances, so it's a shame they can apparentlybe unresponsive on the touch screen. tried the demo and found moving with the D-pad slightly awkward but im sure i will get used to it and im still going to buy this soon :)

Well that still a good score. I did like Okami (the PS2 version that is) but I have no plans on getting this especially since my DS is busy with Pokemon.

I played a little bit of Okamiden. I have to say, a lot of the game is recycled, and it doesn't look that good. It looked good on consoles, but the DS is just too weak to bring out the Okami artstyIe. I am a huge fan of the original Okami, but 7.5 seems just right.

I feellike this game didn't reallyhave a chance to score wellsinceit's a sequel and it's a handheld. You can't really expect the game to surpass its predecessor when it was built for handhelds and its predecessor was built for consoles. You have to review it for what it is, a DS game. I actually see where the people comparing it to Zelda are coming from. Phantom Hourglass was full of recycled dungeons and concepts originally seen in Wind Waker and yet that game scored a 9.
