“Okami.” “Resident Evil 4.” Both among the best games of the last decade. Both published by Capcom. Both released on last-generation consoles but ported to the Wii for their definitive versions. Both have had their creators leave Capcom, and now Capcom has released sequels to both despite their original authors’ absence. So, the sequels “Resident Evil 5” and “Okamiden” have arrived under remarkably similar circumstances. But while one game — “Resident Evil 5” — took its eye off the prize, today’s DS action-adventure “Okamiden” is like a posthumous symphony finished using the departed composer’s notes.
