@GohanGVO: The thought of using the nub to paint, coupled with the small screen size, sounds pretty painful. But I imagine it'd be doable. They need to release either a PS2 "greatest hits" copy or PS3 port or something. This game needs to be out there so people can play it. #okami
@GohanGVO:
PS2 actually used both analog sticks.
One for controlling the brush, the other for controlling the camera in paint mode.
Could you make the game work on the PSP? Sure. ALL control schemes are adaptable.
Would anybody in their right mind WANT to, though?
...probably not!
At any rate, an Okami port would suck on the PSP if only because it's the kind of game you want to play for long stretches at a time. That small screen would kill it for me quick.
I'm hoping that Okamiden is kind of structured a little differently so it lends itself to shorter play times. #okami
I'm not so sure that's actually a plush, looks a bit more like a sculpture/figure with fabric and fur on it. I could be wrong, it just seems really stiff.
The DS is really this IP's last hope. It amazes me to no end after the multi-millions of dollars Capcom funneled into Clover to create new IP's and watching them all fail, they are still willing to make a new Okami.
Course the DS's massive install base and low development costs are a factor i'm sure.
@Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: When looking back at the sales number I can't help but think Okami's failure is a bit exagerated. It sold 147k in japan, that's not terrible by any means; maybe it didn't return the full investment and it's certainly isn't a megahit, but it's nowhere near as bad as some of the numbers we've seen this generation
@excel_excel: really? i kind of find that hard to believe. where did you see these numbers? i'm not trying to start a feud or anything- i'm legitimately interested.
@beril: No, no! Nobody bought it at all! If you want any video game company to ever make a good game ever again, you'd better buy twenty copies of the new one!
@Taggart6: This is a crazy idea but,: I have the same problem with scribblenauts, there's too much childish giggling from me when I do something like try to make elephant-chucks.
@mat1cs (still a nerd): I want one of those plushies as well. Gawds, it's so adorably cute. I'd put it atop my PC to stand cutely guarding over the room.
Another great franchise ruined by pumping out a crappy sequel on handhelds.
First we get screwed over by having the sequel to Valkyria Chronicles on the PSP (visuals pales in comparison to the original on the PS3), and now this.
WTF is wrong with putting out the sequel to Okami on the Wii and Valkyria Chronicles on the PS3? I never use handhelds unless I go on vacation because I can't stand the small screen size compared to my 57-inch 1080P DLP.
@BigWyrm: Another smug bastard on "teh interwebs" who thinks he's all that because he has a big expensive TV (read: large e-peen).
Nobody cares if you don't use handhelds. Did you ever think that they're making this game for the DS because a metric shit tonne of people have a DS? And use it regularly? And want to play Okami with a stylus?
No of course you didn't think those things. You were too busy worrying about the size of your TV (read: e-peen)
@BigWyrm: I'm with ya buddy! Them screenshots are grainy! That must be reflective of the poor gameplay of the screen capture tool.
And while bringing up Vakyria Chronicles was a distracting aside, I would like a sequel also.
@BigWyrm: Seeing as how you already know everything about this game I'm sure that you have a copy, since you love it so much would you mind letting me have it?
This game already has my $30.
Sure it looks like a modified port of the original with a few extra bells and whistles, but if Capcom gets the hint we might see an actual sequel on a home console.

Would it work just as well on a PSP? Would the jump from console to handheld work for this game?
I'm not sure, thats why i'm asking.
If it would, then bring on a PSP version of the game.
It might give a few more people the chance to experience the game. #okami

The most important aspect of Okami is the painting, and it wouldn't really work on the PsP. #okami

Personally, I would be more upset at the loss of camera control found in the PS2 version. #okami

@dowingba: Is the nub that bad? I would not know considering that I am not a PSP owner. #okami

I third the plushie. I want one.
I would prefer an Ameratsu over this though, but I'll settle for this.

Well, this is basically a baby version of her, so if they were to make it "cute" in its style, it would probably look pretty similar.

Check
People who don´t play handelds and yet see them as the perfect critic to talk about the "inferior" quality of handeld games?
Check
Is this game NOT on the market even?
Check
I'll look forward to when the game actually comes out, can't wait to see the critic about graphics and...bloom.
