REV–E

We at Capcom wish to thank you for your purchase

of this game and for your support!

When we set out to create this game, the vision was

to infuse an epic adventure with Japanese art, culture

and mythology in a truly unique and stunning way.

The result was this game which brings a distinctive

blend of watercolor ink style to a digital platform—

old meets new.

contentsthank you

The gameplay itself is just as unique as the artwork,

putting you in the role of the great god Amaterasu on

a quest to restore beauty to a land ravaged by evil.

Armed with divine power and a brush, you must

paint your dreams to make them a reality.

We are now proud to, through the use of the Wii

Remote, put the paintbrush in your hand. Capcom

wishes you many hours of exploration, adventure,

beauty, and fun. From one group of videogame fans

to another, thank you.

Team Capcom
