Capcom has officially registered the European trademark for Okamiden, the DS sequel to Okami.
Although Capcom committed to releasing its Okami follow-up within 2010 inside Japan, there was no official word yet on whether or not they would release the title in the West. But now Siloconera has spotted a trademark registered by Capcom in Europ– and its for Okamiden.
Okamiden follows the adventures of Chibiterasu, a smaller, cuter version of the celestial-brush-weilding wolf-god Amaterasu. Chibiterasu teamsup with Kuninushi, the son of Okami’s faux-hero Susano, and Kuninushi rides on Okamiden’s back throughout the game.
The original Okami was created by Clover Studios, which has since been shut down, and many menbers of the staff went on to form Platinum Studios, makers of the Wii brawler MadWorld. Okamiden therefore won’t be handled by the original Okami creators.
Guessing from the screen shots released so far, Capcom is trying their darnedest to bring the cel-shaded watercolor charm of the original to the DS.
Mario may be the master of Mushroom Kingdom, but that hasn’t stopped programmer Jay Pavlina from dragging other classic NES icons into goomba territory in his new aptly-titled game Super Mario Bros. Crossover.
In this undefinabley-awesome act of retro bliss, players get the chance to rampage through all the levels of the original Super Mario Bros [...]
