While the title still remains unannounced for any region outside of Japan, fans of the Okami series from Capcom can get a little more excited today. It appears that Capcom has filed a trademark for Okamiden in the United States thanks to the sleuths at
Siliconera.
Okamiden is a direct sequel to the PlayStation 2 / Wii hit Okami, set for release on the Nintendo DS. Trademarks for other regions, such as Europe, have popped up over the past couple of weeks... hinting at a potential worldwide release of the title. The original Okami is one of those rare games that while receiving mass critical acclaim throughout the industry, failed to produce successful sales numbers for Capcom. As a result of the poor sales of the first game, the sequel remained in doubt for quite some time. Hopefully the sequel will do better...
