Okamiden 2 or Okami 3 could come to 3DS if fans demand it

Okamiden 2 or Okami 3 3DS sequels possible
Okami 3 or Okamiden 2 could be coming to the 3DS according to Capcom’s Motohide Eshiro, who has stated in a new interview that he’d like to see another Okami game for 3DS . . .

But it all depends on whether enough fans demand that they make it. And naturally, it’ll depend on the sales of the upcoming Okamiden DS sequel to Okami.

A portion of an AusGamer interview with Capcom’s Motohide Eshiro.

AG: Now you must be excited about Nintendo 3DS. So much potential there for this type of game — such a beautiful system. Have you had any chance to look at the development side of that yet, Has Nintendo approached you about it? Are you sad that you couldn’t make Okamiden for 3DS?

Eshiro-san: I actually had a chance to see and get some information about the 3DS yesterday and I think it’s a great system with a lot of potential for game designers — there’s a lot you can do with it. Especially from a graphics stand-point, there’s so much potential there. I’d like to be able to make some games for that in the future, but as far as being approached by Nintendo, I personally haven’t been approached by them to make anything for it as of yet. Maybe someone at Capcom has, but personally speaking I haven’t at this moment.

For Okamiden itself, I don’t think it’s unfortunate that we couldn’t make it a 3DS game. I’m very happy that it’s a Nintendo DS game because of the touch-screen. We wanted to make it really suited to everything you can do with the touch-screen, so we worked really hard to make sure that those aspects of the game are being fully exploited. That was the main challenge for us to overcome and hopefully when we get this into people’s hands and they start playing it, they’re going to see how great using the touch-screen is. Hopefully they have a really good reaction to Okamiden on the DS and start clamouring for a sequel. Then if they ask for that sequel on the 3DS, well… we’ll see what we can do.
