Okamiden for DS is today’s Amazon Deal of the Day

The indirect sequel to the action-adventure game Okami from Capcom is on sale for $19.66. The deal on Amazon will only last for the remainder of today, so make your purchase soon if you're interested in Okamiden for the Nintendo DS.

Clover Studio first created the cel-shaded property with classical Japanese themes and an iconic wolf named Amaterasu, who has recently appeared in both versions of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 as a playable character. The follow-up on the DS stars the canine Chibiterasu and reuses the Celestial Brush from the original.

The upcoming PlayStation Vita game Sumioni: Demon Arts, due out tomorrow, borrows a similar visual style based on Japanese sumi-e paintings.
