The Mystical Cel-Shaded Adventure Will Soon Be Portable
The Switch version of Okami HD has finally got a release date: August 9th. The official Twitter account announced the launch date on Wednesday. It’s going to be available for pre-order on the eShop and will be a digital download.
In Okami HD, players take control of the Japanese sun goddess Amaterasu, who takes the form of a white wolf and travels around the land of Nippon (Japan). Amaterasu has to defeat an evil demon named Orochi, who is responsible for wreaking havoc in Nippon. However, she’ll meet a unique and memorable cast of characters on her quest such as a talking bug, various other gods and more.
She’ll also have use of a tool called the “Celestial Brush”, which is a giant paintbrush that can create items that will allow her to fight enemies and solve puzzles.
Here are some features that come with the Switch version of Okami HD:
- 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
