Okamiden screen explosion

Capcom DS adventure's looking good

Okamiden, handheld sequel to 2007's Okami, has had a stack of new screens and artwork released today ahead of its March 18 release thanks to publisher Capcom.

The series, best described as Zelda with watercolours, continues the celestial wolf's fight against demons invading Nippon, this time following Amaterasu's son Chibitersau, who can still use Celestial brush powers (by drawing shapes on touch screen) but also team up with partners in exploring the world.

With original developer Clover Studios disbanded, development duties are being handled by Kuniomi Matsushita, who was behind the Wii port of the original Okami.
