Okami HD coming to PS3 this Spring

Magical god-wolf fans rejoice! Okami - the sumi-e style painting-action game in which you play Amaterasu, sun goddess of Shintoism - is getting a HD remastered version with Move support coming to the PlayStation Network. The re-release will be released in Japan in November and in North America in 'Fall' - given Capcom's penchant for HD remasters, we can no doubt expect it out this way at around the same time.




Okami was originally released on the PlayStation 2 back in 2007, with a Wii version following in 2008. Beloved by critics, it didn't perform particularly well with the public - which is a shame, because it's a lot of fun. The play-style was likened to the Legend of Zelda games, with the addition of the brush mechanic - pausing the game and bringing up a painting of the view, in which you could draw and add to the environment to solve puzzles and fight enemies.
