The high-definition version of Clover Studios’ vibrant action-RPG Okami is hitting the Switch later this year, Nintendo announced during its latest Direct broadcast overnight.

Okami HD will boast a number of additional features for the Big N’s flagship console, including the ability to use the touchscreen during handheld mode. On the other hand, you can plump for the Joy-Con’s motion controls when playing in TV mode, mirroring the Wii edition.

The original version of Okami was released in 2007 for the PS2, with Capcom later porting it to last-generation consoles a few years ago. Since then, the game has also made its way to PS4, PC, and Xbox One in sumptuous 4K resolution.

Check out a trailer for Okami HD on Switch below. The game will be available as a digital download via Ninty’s eShop in summer 2018.
