The newest episode of Pixelated Radio features discussions of the Nintendo 3DS, Crysis 2, Homefront, Dragon Age II, Ōkamiden, Faery: Legends of Avalon, Tornado Outbreak, Rayman 3D, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Shadow Wars, Islands of Wakfu, and plenty more.
"Some games don’t get sequels, no matter how patiently we wait. We didn’t get another ICO, we didn’t get another Final Fantasy VII (though many of us are still hoping for a remake), and after playing Okamiden, the long-awaited handheld offshoot to one of Capcom’s most remarkable properties, gamers will find themselves waiting some more."
"I'm only a few hours in at this point, but I think it's safe to say that this game largely lives up to the legacy of its predecessor - it's got about the same level of difficulty, although I'd probably rate it as slightly easier; it makes excellent use of the brush skills; it's got bosses that test your mastery with the brush in a similar manner. As a DS game the world isn't quite as fully-packed with secrets and goodies as the first, but it still does well as a handheld edition of the game."
NoobFeed.com's David Gabriel puts the Okamiden demo to the test. This Nintendo DS title may not be the actual 'proper' sequel fans of the original Okami have been expecting, but it seems like a solid continuation to the critically acclaimed 2006 action adventure title.
2010 was another hot year for video games. With titles such as Marvel vs. Capcom 3, LittleBigPlanet 2, Lost in Shadow, and Okamiden already confirmed for 2011, the new year looks pretty bright too. BrightHub looks ahead at some of the hottest upcoming releases of 2011.
"The first of five installments, GameZone Downloads Manager Mike Splechta reveals his Top 10 most anticipated 2011 games. Check back tomorrow to find out GameZone News & Games Editor B. James’ picks as we discuss how exciting 2011 truly is."
In an tantalising interview with gamesradar.com, Motohide Eshiro expressed his appriciation on the success of Okamiden in Japan and how he hopes it will be as successful in the States and Europe. However at the tail end of the interview he stated that "I think it would be interesting to bring it to the Nintendo 3DS". A while ago there rumors that Okamiden was going to arrive on the 3DS but nothing more was heard, so is there still hope?
"If you enjoyed Okami, there’s little chance you won’t enjoy Okamiden based on what I’ve played so far. It’s incredibly similar, but loses little of the wonder and enjoyment that made the first game such a great experience."
"The set comes in a nice sturdy cardboard box made to look like the lacquer boxes found in the game. Inside is a retail copy of Okamiden, a novel, a soundtrack and DVD set, a plush Chibiterasu and Okamiden branded in-ear ear buds. Because this is the e-Capcom version, a Celestial Brush stylus and screen cloth are also included."
Tokyo Game Show is launching a variety of prestigious names. However, amidst the myriad of 3D titles and zombies, we also have the outrageously cute Okamiden making a stalwart appearance.
Okamiden isn't set to be released in North America until next year, but it has already made a huge impression on many gamers and critics. Capcom looks to bring an adventure as grand as their venture with the first Okami on the PS2 and Wii.
Today Capcom announced its lineup for the 2010 Penny Arcade Expo, which kicks off at 10 AM in Seattle this Friday, September 3. The list includes Okamiden, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Dead Rising 2, and more.
Okamiden is the sequel to the highly popular Okami, which appeared on both the PlayStation 2 and Wii several years ago. The upcoming title is slated for release on the DS, and there was a playable demo of the game at this year's E3. What impressions did it leave?
Xbox Evolved posts details about Capcom's E3 2010 line up. Today they announced what videogame titles they will be show casing at the expo in LA June 15-18.
Unlike many games these days, Capcom's DS adaptation of Okami didn't start in board room meeting, but rather as a labor of love from some fans inside Capcom.
They created a demo for it, after which one of the devs brought it to Ace Attorney Investigations producer Motohide Eshiro.
The second trailer for the portable iteration of Okami has been released, this one giving us some gameplay, tunes, puzzles, beautiful artwork and more.
Okamiden is due for release in Japan sometime next year.
The Tokyo Game Show 2009 is underway, and Famitsu has provided some pictures from Capcom's booth at the event, which you can see attached to the article.

Like in Okami, Chibiterasu can interact with the field using brush strokes. The various sidekicks that ride Chibiterasu can aid with this. The one partner that Chibiterasu has been seen with constantly is Kuninushi - a child swordsman who strives to be a strong as Susanoo.
Okamiden: Chisaki Taiyou is geared for a 2010 release, and will be playable at next week'...
"After being announced a few weeks ago to the surprise of many and having a brief teaser released we now have a better look at the upcoming Okamiden. If you don't follow Nintendo DS news that much Okamiden is the Nintendo DS sequel to the cult favorite Okami which was released for the PS2 and later for the Wii."
After being unveiled in Famitsu, and getting our first glimpse at footage courtesy of Capcom's TGS website, Famitsu and other Japanese newssites have posted up images for Capcom's upcoming DS sequel adventure, Okamiden: Chisaki Taiyou.
Okamiden will put you in control of the white wolf child Chibiterasu, who bears a striking resemblence to Okami's Amaterasu, as noticed by the peachy tree spirit Sakuya. Not much more info was shared.

"Well look at that...it looks like that 'Okamiden' trademark was for Okami on the DS! We aren't sure if it's a remake or a sequel, but I'm sure more details will come in very soon. Thanks to all that sent this in!"
"Clover Studios is no more. Capcom hasn’t announced any solid plans to continue Okami, but a trademark filed in Japan suggest they may be working on another game.
Capcom owns the rights to the word Okamiden which sounds like a play on words similar to how Okami can represent a great god and a wolf. Okamiden might be a mashup of Okami Gaiden or Okami Densetsu.
Last year Capcom and Ready at Dawn released a Wii version of Okami retrofitted with motion control. This version is finally comin..."
