    I have never played Okami, but it is one of those titles that really interest me.

    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

    @Ad-hominem: How so? The PS2 game used only one analog stick for the painting.

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

    @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

    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

    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.

    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?
