Okami Was At The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time
Many DS owners are excited to get their hands on Okamiden, the sequel to a game that first released in 2006. While the original Okami was a great game, it didn't meet with the success that Capcom had hoped for on PS2, and a producer at the company has shared his thoughts about what went wrong.
"I can't comment officially but, personally speaking, I think it had a lot to do with the announcements for new consoles," said producer Motohide Eshiro. "That was overshadowing any other game news at the time."
With all the hype surrounding the new consoles from all three manufacturers, more eyes might have been on the future than the games that were still coming out on PlayStation 2. Of course, now everyone is talking about the 3DS...will we see a similar effect on Okamiden?
