Capcom continues to dish out excellent news. They will be releasing a sequel to the critically acclaimed and thoroughly original Okami on the Nintendo DS. The handheld is perfectly suited for the drawing-based game mechanics featured in the original. While the now-defunct Clover Studio won’t be able to develop this installment in the series, the below trailer does depict adorable and intriguing gameplay. I’m excited to have Okami on the go, and hope that Capcom delivers a game that matches the fun featured in this promising footage.

I’ve always been a big fan of this series for the Nintendo DS.  While a point-and-click adventure game about a lawyer may not seem like a blast, any fan of old Encyclopedia Brown books, old “Whodunit” TV shows, or general problem solvers will get a kick out of these games.  Plus, the games have a great campy writing style and a host of memorable characters.

The newest chapter, “Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth”, is about to come out, and Gamespot has an exclusive Flash version of the first level of the new game.  i definitely recommend you give it a go.
