Retro_Link Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 A new Okami announcement could be set for next week according to a translated tweet from the official Okami account. The tweet was translated by Gematsu, and it reads, "Hello, this is Okami news. Sorry I've been kind of out of touch lately, but I have the feeling we'll be able to drop a fresh announcement like WHAM! around the beginning of Golden Week, so please look forward to it. Right now we're on track with preparations" Golden Week is Japanese public holiday taking place between April 29 and May 5. Apparently Japanese magazine Famitsu, also has something to announce as soon as May 9, although this may or may not be Okami related. Okami was in my Top 3 Wii games, and I've got the HD version ready to download from Playstation Plus... Okami 2 on the next gen consoles would look and no doubt be incredible! But can't get ahead of ourselves, this news might turn out to be nothing! :p ... still, it would make for nice timing an announcement 1 month before E3!
Hero-of-Time Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I'm going with a Wii U version of the game via the eShop.
Fused King Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I have never stopped hoping about a new entry in the franchise. The fact that they went out of their way and made Okamiden near the end of the DS's life cycle and then re-release Okami in HD on multiple consoles must mean that something is underway. It really has to come to WiiU as well though, otherwise I might seriously have to consider taking another direction for next gen... I'm going with a Wii U version of the game via the eShop. Very likely, and would mean that there is indeed a willingness to continue the franchise by getting more people to play the original. Still, who would make this game? It ought to be made by Platinum Games wouldn't it?
Cube Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 My guess is that they are announcing Wii U and Vita ports of Okami HD.
Sheikah Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 My guess is that they are announcing Wii U and Vita ports of Okami HD. Bloody hell, they have ported this game enough now. Another one, please.
Magnus Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Yeah, I agree with Sheikah. They should port Okamiden instead!
-Dem0- Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 None of the above: Svensson: "Whatever it is, it's likely only in Japan... I've got no details on what they were referring to (but as has been stated, whatever it is, it's not a game)." http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/29913047/okami-announcement?post_num=5#531938123
sumo73 Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 If it's some kind of only available outside of Japan as a digital download then count me out. Perhaps a Wii U version of the original Okami, a 3DS version of Okamiden or Okami 2 who knows.
