[quote name='mask.air.raid']Retailers didn't put up any stock for Okamiden for a while. I don't think that's it. If you look at e-kinghtmedia's video game stock, you'll see that they do like to overcharge, so it's strange that they wouldn't charge at least $39.99 for this game.
It's not an obscure game. It is the sequel to Okami, which got high reviews and ports.
There apparently is a collector's box that was released in Japan, so Capcom may be trying to expand the fanbase before a sequel is announced.[/QUOTE]
When I say obscure, I'm referring to sales. Sure, everyone knows about Okami, but the original although critically praised, wasn't a HUGE seller, and the same went for the Wii version. Crapcom threw us a bone by making a DS sequel, but based on the secondary market, and most opinions I have heard over the years(about overall quality), it sold poorly even by the original standards. So yeah, even though everyone has heard of Okami/Okamiden, it is still "obscure" sales wise. I think if they had reprinted this title, they would have announced it on their blog.
