The visually striking action masterpiece Ōkami HD is available today for digital purchase for Nintendo Switch via Nintendo eShop.
I’ve been debating picking up the game on Xbox One but had hopes for a release on the Switch. It just sucks that the game is digital only which makes me wary. Fingers crossed Limited Run Games or another such company can put this on a cart.
Originally released in 2006 to critical acclaim, Ōkami tells an unforgettable tale while perfectly blending its unique Sumi-e ink art style with puzzle solving and action, making it one of the most unique and breathtaking video games ever made.
Journey with Amaterasu, the Japanese sun goddess who embodies a legendary white wolf to dispel evil from the beautiful lands of Nippon. To do so, she must traverse harsh lands and tackle foes using a combination of magic abilities, clever attacks, an arsenal of divine items and the Celestial Brush, a magical object capable of manipulating the environment.
Unique to Nintendo Switch, Ōkami HD will offer new functionality for the Celestial Brush that takes advantage of the hardware features:
- Touchscreen Painting – Create brushstrokes directly on the touchscreen in Handheld mode
- Motion-Control Painting – Paint with the Joy-Con controller’s motion controls in TV or Tabletop mode by moving it in the desired pattern, just like a paintbrush
