Okamiden is going to be the most adorable game of FOREVER.
Capcom has just announced its official line-up for E3 next week, and it’s pretty much what you’d expect. The obvious big hitters are amongst the list, such as Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Dead Rising 2.
Don’t take this as a complete list though. This is E3, and E3 is all about the surprises. Capcom has already said that they will have “a couple surprises up our sleeves”. The biggest rumour going around right now is the reveal of a Ninja Theory developed Devil May Cry 5.
We can only hope.
Catch the line-up after the break.
Capcom held their annual press event this weekend, flying selected members of the gaming press out to Hawaii, and we here at The Gaming Vault were lucky enough to stay home and read about it when bigger, more popular bloggers twittered about it.
But while we didn’t get to witness the announcements first hand, we still get to bring all the latest news from Capcom to our readers!
Click through for a full list of news coming out of the event.
Capcom has just released a new trailer for the upcoming DS game Okamiden: Chisaki Taiyou. Okamiden is the sequel to the beautiful PS2 game Okami. The trailer looks incredible, despite the downgraded visuals.
kamiden stars Chibiterasu, a celestial wolf who bears a resemblance to Amaterasu, the protagonist of Okami. The celestial brush makes a triumphant return to solve puzzles and fight enemies.
The game takes place three months after the events of Okami. Demons have returned to Nippon and it’s up to Chibiterasu to stop them. It’s speculated that Chibiterasu is Amaterasu’s son, retaining Amaterasu’s abilities, but lacks her power.
Give it a peek after the cut.
Capcom confirmed today that the critically aclaimed Okami is getting a sequel, the title of which will be “Okamiden: Chiisaki Taiyo”.
The title translates roughly into Okami Legend: The Small Sun, and is being handled by internal Capcom staff, producer Motohide Eshiro and director Kuniomi Matsushita. The game is a DS title and is set to be shown for the first time at TGS this month.
“Around December last year, Matsushita came up to me and talked about making a new Okami that could be enjoyed in portable format,” Eshiro told Famitsu. “He’s very passionate about the game, and he already had a test version created by that time that was extremely high quality, fully capturing Okami’s unique visuals. Seeing that, I thought we were safe to make it an official project.”
“As you know, Okami’s visuals and game system are extmely unique,” added Matsushita. “The original idea was to take what makes this game special and expose it to more people. That was why we chose the Nintendo DS — being on a portable system will allow people to easily pick up and play it, and you can also use the touch pen as a brush.”
I think it’s great that such a wonderful game is getting a sequel, even if hardly anyone bought it. I blame you, Adrian!
