    Anyone else notice the slowdown during the fighting clips? Here's hoping they get that fixed up before the release.

    I'm still really bummed out that it's for the DS. I had enough trouble playing the zelda games for the DS. I can't begin to fathom how badly my big fingers will perform with this game.

    It's pretty, but I still really wish I was seeing high resolution japanese watercolor on my PS3. Oh well. I can keep hoping they make Okami 3 for the PS3 or 360.

    @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: While that's true, this particular game doesn't really wow me. I'll probably rent it when it comes out, and only if I enjoy it will I actually purchase it. The first game spoiled me, and making the second one on the DS is like downgrading the main thing I really enjoyed about the first game: the graphics and overall feel.

    The art in Okamiden looks really disappointing to me. They sorta kept the same look and feel that the first game had, but that doesn't change the fact that Chibiterasu is literally 50-100 polys. I've never been a fan of 3D games on the DS. They always look really bad, and almost never play well.

    I'm going to at least give Okamiden a shot, but I doubt I'll be buying it unless it wows me when I rent it.

    @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: What about the potential behind the PS3 motion wand? If okami was a pack-in with the wand and there was a video kiosk RIGHT NEXT to the wand pack showing what Okami was about I'm sure they could push out a few units.

    @ReynaldoRiv:Capcom is not that willing to put out a underpreforming IP on a system that still has the highest development costs and the lower install base. Developing for the PS3 wand is likely to only raise costs.

    The main reason we are seeing a Okami 2 at all is because DS development is the lowest out of all the current systems (Home and portables) and has a user base large enough to make sure that it sells enough to at least cover costs.

    @StrategyMonk:Not allways true. While the 3rd may be on the DS, it will prove to Capcom that the IP is viable and make it more possible for it to show up on home systems.

    @excel_excel: Completely agree. I love action/adventure games that have a lot of potential on the go. Okami on the DS is perfect! With this and the new Zelda around the corner, I will definitely be playing a lot more with my DS. :)

    1. Go for electronic goods first.
    2. Avoid being trampled.
    3. Avoid bringing children along. They have small hands.
    3. Utilize the "drop-kick" when necessary.
    4. Take no prisoners.

    That showed nice regards for a child's safety: making her cross a dodgy bridge. Child line will be onto those game saying it promotes child neglect and mistreat. *rolls eyes*

    This game is looking pretty snazzy! I haven't played Okami - despite seeing it retail in shops for as low as £5 for the Wii and all my friends bangin' on to me about how good it is. Nothing makes me really want to play it. But I REALLY want to play Okamiden on DS :D The DS will obviously lend itself well to the Okami play style with the celestial brush.

    @Loreo: I dunno why. But I just don't feel like I need to play Okami. I'm gonna need somebody to sit down and force me to play the game. So I can then beat myself up for what I'd been missing.

    @Portalgamer19: My local casinos don't have arcades, at least any that I'm aware. That's possibly because they're all standalone casinos with no room and board making them an unlikely family outing, at least enough to consider having an arcade. The ones in Biloxi were built with hotels, and I know one of them at least used to have an arcade. Maybe when I'm bored one day I'll make the drive to check it out.

    Can't fucking wait for the Devil's Flute though. In addition to the main game it also has a RPG mode made by Brownie Brown called London Life apparently its supposed to be really really long!
