]]>Capcom had a big night at The Game Awards this week with the return of a couple classic titles, and it sounds like they won't be the last.

]]>Games industry veteran Hideki Kamiya has shared that he still wants to make sequels to PS2 classics Okami and Viewtiful Joe.
]]>Almost every action adventure game with RPG elements and dungeons, that's set in an open or semi-open world, can trace its roots – a link to the past, if you will – back to the original Legend of Zelda game on the NES. And this is surprising, because that game is 37 years old. That’s roughly as old as I am, which in human terms is “should probably start thinking about life insurance” levels of decrepit. In the context of a medium driven by technological advancement, it might as well be an eternity.
]]>The Nintendo Wii was a mainstream sensation from the moment it released, and likely still sits underneath the TV in many households that had never bought a games console before and haven't since.
]]>The makers of the gorgeous PlayStation 2-era game Okami don't appear to be done with their sumi-e inspired title.
]]>Okami has a particularly brilliant soundtrack. With the new port out on the Nintendo Switch it's also apparently the perfect time for a soundtrack re-release - and this one is special.
]]>Okami HD will arrive on the eShop for Nintendo Switch this summer.
]]>Game crossovers are nothing new, but Capcom's way of getting Okami's Amaterasu into Dota 2 is a bit different.
]]>Capcom has announced Okami HD and it comes as no surprise.
]]>It looks as though the Okami HD rumors from August have validity.
]]>Capcom is apparently working on a port of the classic Okami for modern consoles.
]]>From today, Monster Hunter Generations players can start looking forward to free, monthly downloadable content.
]]>Sometimes Fallout 4 mods can be simple, but just as effective.

]]>Platinum Games director Hideki Kamiya has expressed interest in a 3DS spin-off of Bayonetta starring the character Jeanne, and an Okami title starring fairy Issun.
]]>Okami could be getting a sequel or a release on other formats, according to an announcement tease from Capcom's official Okami Twitter feed. Famitsu has also teased something that may or may not be related. Judge for yourself here.
]]>The only two things wrong with this Okami HD footage are that it only goes for five minutes and not, say, the rest of my life, and that no matter how hard I press the buttons on my Dual Shock I can't yet play it. Capcom's re-release is looking mighty fine after its visual brush-up; hit the break to see it in full glory. Okami HD arrives on the Japanese PlayStation Network in early November, with a release in other territories expected before the end of the year.
]]>Sony Japan has released a new promotional video for upcoming HD Classic releases Okami, the Ratchet & Clank Collection, the Yakuza Collection and the Zone of the Enders Collection, explaining how these PS2 titles are made to look shiny and new. As suspected, the answer is a ton of concealer.
]]>Capcom has released a new video for Okami HD. As one would expect, it's beyond lovely. Have a watch below. The Hexa Drive update will release t his fall on PlayStation Network for $20/£15.99/€19.99, with full trophy and PS Move support.
]]>According to Joystiq, Rez HD developer Hexa Drive is collaborating with Capcom on an HD re-release of PS2-era classic Okami. The remaster is expected on the PlayStation Network for $20/£15.99/€19.99, with full trophy and PS Move support.
]]>Those excited over Okami HD heading to PSN might wish to have a look at some comparison shots of the game versus the original version. As if the game wasn't lovely enough on PS2, it's even more so on PS3. Head on over to Siliconera and have a look. The remastered PS3 title will include support for PlayStation Move controls and trophies and will run you £15.99/€19.99 .
]]>It's official: Okami HD is a thing, and a thing that's going to get further than Japan, too.
]]>Hold on to your hats, there's a another big list of shorts for you today below the break.
]]>There's a new trailer for Okamiden, and for once, you're not squinting at a tiny DS screen-in-screen - so you can concentrate on going "squee!" instead.
]]>Okamiden is set to receive a demo via the Nintendo Channel on February 21.
]]>If you like peering at tiny virtual DS screens while giggling with utter delight, do I have a treat for you. Two new Okamiden trailers have skipped joyfully in, bursting at the scenes with adorable gameplay footage designed to cause squinting.
]]>Capcom producer Motohide Eshiro has said the launches of PS3 and Wii were to blame for Okami's relative failure at retail.
]]>Capcom's issued a proper Okamiden trailer. It's after the drop.
It's got dragons and puppies. And it looks awesome. And that's that.
Thanks, Kotaku.
]]>According to this Kotaku piece, the original Okami team's credits have been cut from the Wii version. Capcom's said this is for legal reasons, apparently, as the company's not allowed to use the Clover logo any more, although it hasn't been explained why names couldn't have been added without the logo.
]]>If wincing has a sound, that's what we're hearing. According to this Kotaku piece, the cover art of the Brady Okami Wii strategy guide in the US has the same IGN watermark that appeared on the box.
]]>Oh dear. According to this Kotaku report, there's an IGN watermark on the Okami Wii boxart in America. It's plain as day and looks to have been verified. We're saying nothing.
]]>Says so here. Capcom has yet to confirm a release for the Wii version of Clover's doggy adventure, but let's just say that we'd believe this if we were you. The game's out on April 15 in the US.
]]>Says so here. It was supposed to be coming out on March 25, but it's now been delayed to April 15. We're just trying to get hold of Capcom to check on the European date, which hasn't been fixed exactly as far as we're aware.
]]>Capcom actually released two of these this morning, but one was gigantic, so you'll have to do with this one. Looks like... Okami on Wii. Which is a good thing. It's out at the end of March in Europe.
]]>This looks very cool. Be sure to take a gander at the Wii version of Clover's Okami in action, and try to think of a good reason you shouldn't be buying it when it releases in Europe at the end of March.
