I loved Okamiden; it was a great game with a fantastic story, and I loved all the nods to the original game. What disappointed me though was that, while it WAS a great game, it wasn't the game I wanted. *spoilers* I wanted to see Waka and Ammy reclaim the Celestial Plain, not watch Ammy's kind-of-or-possibly-literal son romp around places I'd already been in. I was really disappointed when I heard the game wasn't going to have anything to do with the Celestial Plain. *end spoiler*
I know it may not be the best sequel and it's pretty much underrated. But you end up falling in love with those colorful characters. And the ending is especially sad. I love this game. Not many people know it, but the little fanbase it has is what matters. And the soundtrack is great too.
Thank you for this video! Unfortunately, there's not a lot on Okamiden. So, it's nice that this video exists. It's very thorough and informative. I also appreciated how fair you were in evaluating it. For a self-proclaimed fanboy, you didn't seem to gush about it. I would suggest trying to cut down on the humor a little, though. I see what you were trying to do with it, but the presentation of it just left it being awkward and disruptive.
This is actually a pretty good game (Okamiden) , one of the last jewels of the DS . I'm glad the 3DS has backwards compatibility because it plays better with the 3DS stick.
I do have to give you credit for the Future Perfect reference. I love it when I go back and go through who I subscribe to and find out one or two are still worthwhile. Keep it up.
It shares the same issue as phantom hourglass. A sequel to a masterpiece that wasn’t given the resources or hardware to shine. It’s actually depressing how similar this cycle was.
Yeah, I think this game would have worked better if it had been a 3DS title, if not on one of the regular home consoles. I also would have preferred if the developers had not recycled so much from the original Okami. I like places like th Play House and the Thunder cloud, but I was less interested in re-visiting some of the areas from the previous game. I also wish the developers had note gone so far with wanting to tie it so much with Okami. I don't think the time travel part was needed. It took up space that could have been used for something else. As for the big Bad, going with the child theme that is used in the rest of the game, I think it would make more sense if Akuro was the 'offspring' of Yami rather than the dark force inhabiting it. It picking up the torch as the new Lord of Darkness.
The 3DS analog stick certainly makes movement controls in these 3D DS games much better. Not perfect but still much better. [Super Mario 64 DS, Okamiden, C.O.P., Kingdom Hearts etc.]
I have just recently found Okamiden, after having searched for it endlessly after beating Okami six months ago (i didn't know about the game for a long time) I absolutely love it, its a great sequel if you ask me (okami is better though)! Though I don't think Chibi's name is really Chibi...rather Issun just gave him a name like all the other partners did. I would also like to know who his father is...they never mention it...
eeveeongirl yeah. It’s not like Ammy met any nice wolves on her journey. And Orochi canonically killed every celestial who didn’t escape in the Ark of Yamato
Well this sequel I wish I can get somewhat. Though I have a question Jquelta, what did you think of the E3 conferences this year. With Megaman in the next smash bros, we might get lucky and have a new Megaman game
Doesn't help that okamiden was released at the the end of the Nintendo ds's life span,the dungeons are the same....all of them have you light torches and push buttons with either chibi or your companion or both at the same time and the game doesn't look all that great they should of waited and released it for the 3ds
Puppies may be cute in images, but it's nothing in comparison to raising one Try raising a puppy who is a Labrador Retriever/ Alaskan Malamute mix I was in a cuteness overload for the first two months we had him :D
I did the same thing with that disgusting part "Not a wolf" and. "Not a human" but accidently switched them so chibi had the "not a human" sigh (but this has nothing to do anything so...hi!)
It looks like Ammy and Waka are holding hands like a couple at the alter (or it does to me) and then they spring apart after like they're embarrassed (or found it super awkward)? I thought that was hilarious! Seriously though, Issun wondered who Chibi's father was and an on-going joke I've heard among other fans is that it's Waka for some reason ... weird thoughts 😖😖😖 Thanks!
Jayden Hamilton nope! Waka's totally a guy (all official sources say so including the wiki) and if you pay attention to his dialogue in Okami he often calls Ammy things like 'ma cher' though I think he's just messing with her when he does. Me personally? I think Ammy wanted a kid so she had one! All the other Brush Gods call her 'Mother to us all' so I think it's totally possible she just had Chibi with needing a father. Laters!
This game should've been for the PSP the original one was for the PS2 which the controls were much tighter and smoother for the PS2. and I think you got your statistics wrong, the Wii version was weak trying to draw with that damn Wii controller was like trying to perform brain surgery with a shovel. The only reason we even have Okami is because of Okami for the PS2 so by rights it should of been for the PSP. it never will be, which in my personal opinion will be why it will never be any more. Nintendo has it's "Zelda" let us keep ours...
LOOK AT THE PUPPY HE'S SO CUTE

Okami 2 for Wii U
Okamiden 2 for 3DS
That COMBINE and INTERACT with each other. Make it happen.
Okami 2 for Wii U and ps4*
Dude, best idea ever seen on a CZcams comment.
kenneth kujala nah, we need it to make use of the gamepad...
labrynianrebel I come from the future to tell you that a Wii U and 3DS Okami do not exist but the Switch might.
Okami is owned by capcom, It would also have to be released on ps4.
I know it may not be the best sequel and it's pretty much underrated. But you end up falling in love with those colorful characters. And the ending is especially sad.
I love this game. Not many people know it, but the little fanbase it has is what matters.

I want an Okamiden HD so badly!!!
We need this remastered on 3ds
BURNTTOAST509 Or at least re-released on the Wii U VC
tony mars your wish has been granted!!!!
Farewell...
tigerfang8686 You had me so excited .... But no... Okamiden is still Nintendo DS exclusive.
@@shrubsy5521 I know righ!

Nice review! I really enjoyed the Timesplitters Future Perfect reference.
You do a good job with your videos.
Shiranui = "she-ra-new-ee"
I is pronounced e in Japanese
yeah it kinda bothered me too.
Great review once again!
Nice review! Just bought the game.
Really needs a new game! Even though this video is 5 years old.
We got Okami HD, so now we need Okamiden 3d.
I know this video is pretty old by now, but I just want to say I loved the use of Kung Pow in this review.
Another solid review.
The barking, the pissing the pooping lol you kill me!!!
Just picked it up. It’s awesome so far.
I loving it to! Very adorable, and fun.
Thank god, someone pointed out the Shirani-thing.
*Shiranui
Love the Kung POW reference!
Well this sequel I wish I can get somewhat. Though I have a question Jquelta, what did you think of the E3 conferences this year. With Megaman in the next smash bros, we might get lucky and have a new Megaman game
*WHISTLE CONCERT*
_Soon_
12:20 "not a wolf" GALAXY BRAIN! I just drew a face there
Doesn't help that okamiden was released at the the end of the Nintendo ds's life span,the dungeons are the same....all of them have you light torches and push buttons with either chibi or your companion or both at the same time and the game doesn't look all that great they should of waited and released it for the 3ds
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Im assuming you used a DS emulator? Kinda glad you did if so, would have been really annoying to have a review of filming the DS, LOL
Puppies may be cute in images, but it's nothing in comparison to raising one
Try raising a puppy who is a Labrador Retriever/ Alaskan Malamute mix I was in a cuteness overload for the first two months we had him :D
I am playing the Den version now, cool one. Can not wait when I will play the Wii version :)
Piotr Socha I’ve tried the Wii version, so make sure the sensor bar is properly calibrated
@@shizuwolf thanks :)
Okami my favorite game. I have every incarnation of this game. From PS2 to Switch/PS4/XBONE. I think I make the bulk of their sales figures. ;P
Luckily for me I played this first before I even heard of Okami..and just beat Okami recently lol so I loved both
I kinda hope this gets a switch remake ... it’s not a bad sequel but luckily we have the first game
Love the shirt
NICE SHIRT!
5:28 Can... can we keep him? Pleeeeeeaase?
wait a minute, u can fishing in okami?
Yeah, you literally have to fish at a few points in the game, how did you miss that lol
This was such a beautiful and great game
Cuteness has never looked so badass
I'm playing Okami
Nice job for the Kung Pow reference.
I did the same thing with that disgusting part "Not a wolf" and. "Not a human" but accidently switched them so chibi had the "not a human" sigh (but this has nothing to do anything so...hi!)
At 2:03 Chibiterasu's father confirmed 😂😂😂
Really? I don't get it.
It looks like Ammy and Waka are holding hands like a couple at the alter (or it does to me) and then they spring apart after like they're embarrassed (or found it super awkward)? I thought that was hilarious!
Seriously though, Issun wondered who Chibi's father was and an on-going joke I've heard among other fans is that it's Waka for some reason ... weird thoughts 😖😖😖
Thanks!
@@LadyLeomon wait, that was a dude? Looked like a girl to me.
Jayden Hamilton nope! Waka's totally a guy (all official sources say so including the wiki) and if you pay attention to his dialogue in Okami he often calls Ammy things like 'ma cher' though I think he's just messing with her when he does.
Me personally? I think Ammy wanted a kid so she had one! All the other Brush Gods call her 'Mother to us all' so I think it's totally possible she just had Chibi with needing a father.
Laters!
Can someone finds the original clip of this? 14:11
Jesse Gartung ikr I wanna know what that is
MiraculousVulpina / Menthe pretty sure that's a clip from timesplitters
Considering how Capcom is now, an Okami sequel is much less than likely to happen.
5:14
Amaterasu
Don't get too excited, Capcom may pick up the scent and immediately halt everything to viciously murder any sprouting megaman games.
Also, PUPPY
Waka fuk a wolf...
This game should've been for the PSP the original one was for the PS2 which the controls were much tighter and smoother for the PS2. and I think you got your statistics wrong, the Wii version was weak trying to draw with that damn Wii controller was like trying to perform brain surgery with a shovel.

+Tin Daddy You are such a fanboy.
Markell Hawthorne says the kid with a Captain Falcon profile pic SMH
Tin Daddy Unlike you, I actually play on other systems.
Markell Hawthorne I also play other sytems troll bag, but PlayStation is better period. Its not my fault you're delusional.
PlayStation fanboys are the worst. smh
