We already showed off the awesome Japanese limited edition Okamiden package yesterday, but it seems Capcom isn’t done delivering awesome collectibles of GamesRadar’s favorite underappreciated wolf goddess.

Now, in a recent preview for Okamiden, its spiritual successor on the DS, Capcom Producer Motohide Eshiro has weighed in with his own take on Amaterasu's downfall, stating that it was simply a matter of bad timing...

Capcom recently hosted a special preview event for their upcoming Nintendo DS title, Okamiden. The event was held at the Dog Café With in Shinjuku, Tokyo, a specialty shop for dog lovers that offers high-end grooming, training lessons, and gourmet pet food.
