So, about that Okami announcement…

Remember the Okami announcement that was teased a couple of weeks back? You know, the one that had everyone praying for a new game in the series?

We soon learned that the tease was not at all related to a new entry, but something else entirely. That kind of deflated the hype.

So we can probably talk about this without a significant amount of disappointment, so long as expectations have been kept in check for the past few days.

Later this month, Capcom will release the “Okami Special Fan Box Book” in Japan. It includes a notebook, sticker sheet, ballpoint pen, coin purse/pounch, and a set of five labels. Pricing is set at 1,575 yen. It’s not the worst thing in the world (mainly for the very dedicated Okami fans like myself), but Capcom should really get on making a new Okami game!
