| WOLF MEDIA NEWS 9/15/2009 WOLF MEDIA 9/29/2009 Gamespot.com first covered about the sequel to the smash hit game Okami, you play as the heroic wolf Amaterasu, who just so happens was the incarnation of the Sun goddess of Japan. In the sequel, you play as a wolf pup with the same powers who must protect the ancient lands of Japan once again from evil. http://www.gamespot.com/ds/action/okamidenchisakitaiyou/ind ex.html Okami was a great game and the guidebook that was released that covers the whole game and it's many aspects was excellent. I recommend getting it. It's called Okami Official Complete Works. It's super hard to find, so good luck! Wolves in Japan have gotten alot of attention lately in Japan. They have made Wolf's Rain, Stormy Night, and making the show Spice and Wolf (The 2nd season is wrapping up), based on the great literature of the same name. Plus the Japanese wolf has been talked about in the book, The Last Wolves of Japan, by Brett Walker. And the Shinsengumi (aka the Wolves of Mibu), who embodied the spirit, savage nature, and nobleness of wolves, have been covered over many years in Rurouni Kenshin, Peacemaker Kurogane in anime/manga, and great videogames for the Japanese PS2, like Fu-Un Shinsengumi and Shinsengumi Gunrouden. The new Okami for DS continues this, and hopefully this trend in media will continue to honor the once Japanese worshiped wolf god, Oguchi no Magami, or Large Mouth Pure God. And one day, maybe wolves can re-populate in Japan once more. Until that time, look forward to another hit in the future to the great franchise that Okami is.
