The Another World: Video and Spellbooks

When I first heard of Ninokuni: The Another World, I knew it was gonna be a good game. But after seeing this trailer, I've adjusted its "goodness" level to AWESOME.


Studio Ghibli is definitely present in this game, as the animation and almost everything about it suggests. Also, each game comes with a spellbook, similar to what our hero is carrying around. This spellbook contains, well, spells to be used throughout the game.

 Thanks to joystiq for the video and gamekyo for the pics.

Ni no Kuni: The Another World Screens

Level-5 and Studo Ghibli's upcoming collaboration on a DS game just got better! Ni no Kuni: The Another World screens surfaced on Famitsu, and as expected the images are beyond awesome!

Studio Ghibli definitely had an open hand on this project, as can be seen by the characters and background. I can't speak yet about the gameplay though. Let's all hope they're localizing this game as soon as possible.

NDS + Level-5 + Studio Ghibli = AWESOMENESS

Level-5, the guys behind the Professor Layton series, will be teaming up with Studio Ghibli to bring more awesome to our Nintendo DS. Studio Ghibli is famed for their animated movies such as Grave of the Fireflies, My Neighbor Totoro, and Spirited Away.

Ninokuni: The Another World is an RPG scheduled to be released on 2009. If this game looks anything like a Studio Ghibli movie, then expect it to be good.
