I’m completely blown away every time I see new footage of this game. I still can’t believe Capcom has managed to cram the spirit of Okami into the DS. Also, it sounds like there’s a new version of the Shinshu Field music in the game!

This information comes from Capcom’s European senior director of marketing Michael Pattison…
“Capcom is very proud of its multi-million selling established franchises such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter. But we’ve also got some other franchises in our locker which we’re going to re-establish on the global stage in the near future. We’re not going to rest on our laurels and even with established franchises we’re going to try new things. We have quite a few surprises up our sleeves as we look to bring back some much-loved brands, create new ones and innovate with our existing line-up. I believe our fans will be happy with what we’re planning.”
Capcom recently stated that they have a few surprises up their sleeves for E3. Because of that, the chances are high that we’ll see one of the games that Pattison was referring to. The question is, will any of these classic franchises land on the Wii or DS? Or even the 3DS?
Thanks to Robert for the tip!

As an added bonus, here’s this month’s cover of the magazine. It’s a bit odd, don’t you think?
The image above is based on a drawing created by a Chinese blogger who says he has a 3DS development kit. There are also a number of unconfirmed details about the system, which we’ve posted below.
– 3D camera
– Differently-designed screens
– The blogger says “the effect of the [3D] screen is amazing.”
– MP3/AAC hardware decode function
– Media player
– Will have a second, proprietary medium for 3DS games
– 3DS titles will fit on a card similar in size to a Compact Flash card
– May be able to put in 3DS and DS games in the same slot
– Might not have an analog stick
– Possible tilt sensor/accelerometer
– Might be as powerful as the Wii

You know, I really can’t wait until the 3DS is shown on Tuesday. All of the speculation and mock-ups are driving me crazy!
