Captivate 2010, Part 3: Okamiden

One of the best things about Captivate was getting to talk to Capcom’s Japanese producers about their upcoming work. Okamiden, an adorable sibling to Okami, is the brainchild of Motohide Eshiro. We talked a bit about the art direction and Japanese mythological connotations inherent in the series as well as how this new game is intended to capture the same Okami spirit (punny!) while being more accessible to NDS owners everywhere. Both Okamiden and, as previously mentioned, Ghost Trick were favorites of Captivate for Cesar and I. Hopefully after watching this, you’ll see why.

This is pretty much my most anticipated hand-held title for next year. It just looks so gorgeous :-) But yeah, the Wii version was a whole load of irritating. took ages to do simple movements. I heard that they fixed it for the Japanese wii version, but I'll be damned if I'm ever gonna get another version of the same game ;-)
