Okamiden trademark provides a small glimmer of hope for an Okami sequel
August 21st, 2009 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay
Some of you here know about my ongoing love for Okami. I’ve been pretty vocal in the forums about how much the game impressed me. It does have its faults, but the title is just such an engrossing an charming adventure that I became hooked almost from the beginning.
So, of course I can’t help but hope that Okamiden, a new trademark discovered in the Japanese database, is some sort of new Okami title. Even though Capcom has never really expressed interest in a sequel in the past, the company does own the rights to the IP. Unfortunately, you can never be too sure how these trademark findings will turn out. I, however, would be incredibly happy to see Amaterasu in another Okami title.

For all of those curious, “den” when combined with “Okami” can mean “Legend of Okami” or “Okami Two.”
It’s sounding really hopeful for a sequel. I just hope it can be good without Clover.

Can anyone comment on if the Japanese characters for both titles (the “okami” part obviously) are the same? I don’t know too much about Japanese but I knew there’s different ways of writing a word that sounds the same.

The upper characters are kanji on the left and hiragana on the right. The lower ones are katakana.
I’m gonna treat this with suspicion. If an Okami sequel happens, it’s hard to say how it’d turn out without Clover. Likewise, while Capcom’s just starting to forge a closer, better relationship with Nintendo for stronger and bigger Wii support, there’s the question over whether or not they’d make the terrible decision of putting it on the HD consoles over the Wii. The Wii version of the original actually outsold the original’s PS2 release, so if this ends up being the real deal as an Okami sequel, one hopes they’ll make smart choices.
