How exactly is this a "sequel"? It looks pretty much like it'd have the same story line...?

(Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Okami, it's my favourite game EVER. I'm just curious as to how this is a sequel.)

@WhisperedStorm Chibiterasu is essentially Amaterasu's spiritual son, and the story picks up roughly three months after where the first game ends. You'll have to play it to understand, but it definitely does cover a lot of the same ground. That being said, it doesn't feel like the same game at all. It feels like a solid sequel

Ahhh, I wish this was releasing on the 3DS. ;-; Do you think it'll get a 3DS port / semi-remake if it does well?

[irpacynot]

@xTHExFALLx I think if they were going to bring an Okami game to 3DS, they'd likely port the original Okami. This game, however, can still be played on 3DS, but of course, it plays as a DS game without any enhancements.

Okami 2? Hell yeah!

To the DS?

ABOMINABLE!

What made the first one unique and stunning were the visuals. This looks like a major down-grade, even if it IS impressive for the DS. Not to mention, when I finished Okami, I wanted to continue on the celestial plane. Not re-visit everything I'd already seen. I wanted new places to explore, new people to talk to! Not just the same-old-same-old with a different wolf. And who had the bright idea to make it a puppy anyway?...

[irpacynot]

@CrowSongProductions Well, I won't disagree with you in saying that the visuals (as well as the audio) were a big part of what made the experience so special, but I wouldn't say this is "abominable." I'm glad to be able to have at least a semblance of that world I can take with me on the go, and I think the touch screen is the perfect interface for the gameplay.

@irpacynot I'll definitely have to check it out. Thank you very much for answering my question! :) It's greatly appreciated.

@sanedem definitely, although the zelda games are still amazing (on console).

Kumi, and yups, its an RPG/Adventure ^-^ You follow a storyline

Tiny Okami is cute.

[sanedem]

Oh my god... I'm so tired of games being fashioned for children. Not to say they don't have their place, innocence is great, but sometimes you want something darker. Shadowrun for the Snes anyone? Terranigma? Illusion of Gaia? FALLOUT 1&2&3?!?! New Vegas isn't worth speaking of. >.> Nintendo sure has gone downhill since the GBA.

spoiler warning after the ending of okamiden is obvious that there is going to be a sequel to it
