Ten years after the Nintendo Wii release, Capcom’s critically acclaimed HD port of the classic action-adventure, Ōkami, will be launching on Nintendo’s revolutionary hybrid platform on August 9th. Ōkami HD will feature fully functional motion controls, and touch screen controls, which are absent from the Xbox/PlayStation versions. This will be the first of two Nintendo Switch games Capcom will publish in August, and each title boasts a unique cult-like following.
Play as the Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu in the form of a white wolf as you travel through a world that’s now even more stunning than a decade ago. The cel-shaded art style brings Japanese folklore to life, while immersive motion controls and HD Rumble make this the ultimate port of one the greatest games of all time. Whether you’ve played the game before, are somewhat familiar with Japanese myths, or diving in head-first, the breathtaking artistic expression is guaranteed to satisfy.
