It's unusual for a game of such surreal, beautiful style as
Okami to have been released in the west while our Japanese gaming cousins are still waiting for it to arrive on their Wiis (due this October, apparently).
But we've all been waiting what seems like an eternity for a new instalment of the gorgeous looking artistic spirit wolf's adventures. Finally, Japanese gaming magazine
Famitsu has revealed that the DS will be the recipient of the next
Okami game, tentatively titled
Okamiden.
Whether this will be a remake, a sequel or a spin-off is unclear at the moment, though several experts with the celestial brush suspect that this won't be a straight DS port, as the locations shown in a magazine article don't seem to match anything from the original PlayStation 2 and Wii game.
Hopefully something more will be revealed at the upcoming
Tokyo Games Show. Watch this space.

Wonderful news, and from the pictures I've seen elsewhere it looks like a prequel, at least to me, but whatever it is I can now take one of my favorite games with me :D
