Included in this update is a newer version of Adobe Flash, making even more website content available to you.
Until now, the Internet Channel was available to download from the Wii Shop Channel for 500 Wii Points. However, as Nintendo encourages all customers and their families to enjoy browsing the internet from their sofas, the Internet Channel can now be downloaded for free.
For those who have purchased the Internet Channel for 500 Wii Points before, a special offer will be available from late October until the end of December. During this time period, you will be able to download a Virtual Console NES title worth 500 Wii Points for free.
When the exact time period for this offer is finalised, a notification will be sent out via the Wii Message Board and posted on the Nintendo of Europe website.
Thanks to Jake once again for the news tip!
First Okamiden details
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
Small update: A few more details – The game will be playable at TGS and is 25% complete.
– Motohide Eshiro is the producer
– Kuniomi Matsushit is the director
– Chibiterasu is a new wolf character, sort of like an adolescent Okami
– Takes place after the first game
– Chibiterasu is taken to Sakuya by Issun, who asks for the wolf’s help
– Kuninushi (Susano’s son) and other characters will be with you throughout your journey
– Gameplay elements will be similar to the first game
– Unsurprisingly, you use the stylus to control the Celestial Brush similar to how it worked in the original title
– Need to work with Kuninushi to complete the game (ex: need to cross unstable bridge, so you’ll have to make a path for Kuninushi to follow with the stylus)
– Project technically started last December when Matsushita told Eshiro that he was interested in making a portable Okami and had developed a prototype
– Matsushita wants to try and reach out to many different people so that they can experience Okami
Thanks to Jake for the news tip!
