Capcom bringing 'Okami' game to DS

Capcom is developing a new game for the Nintendo DS which is in the same style as acclaimed action-adventure title Okami, according to Kotaku.

Recent trademark applications by the publisher have revealed that the game will be entitled Okamiden, although few other details are known.

Screenshots from the new game have been released in the latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, and depict the same, distinctive colour palette and art style of the original title.

Many of the staff from now-defunct Okami developer Clover Studio have since moved on to PlatinumGames, but it is unclear whether they are involved in Okamiden.

As the original game featured an innovative, painting approach to gameplay, it is thought that this would fit well with the stylus feature of Nintendo's handheld.
