The DS-based sequel to the hit Okami has finally released in North America.

The game follows the adventures of the young sun god incarnated as a wolf pup by the name of Chiberatsu as he attempts to stop a malevolent force leeching colour from the world.

The paintbrush dynamic that made the original game so special has made a return in order to take advantage of the DS's touch screen.

Okamiden is available for and from today in the and has made the Chiberatsu plush keychain originally only available with the Japanese Limited Edition.
