Ni No Kuni (translated as the pleasing ‘The Another World’) is a forthcoming PlayStation 3 game developed by Level-5 and Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki, and tells the story of a boy who loses his mother and subsequently is given a magic book which allows him to travel to NiNoKuni, a parallel world which may hold the key to getting his mother back.
So, typical Ghibli – which means that it’s a beautifully simple idea that will charm the stone cold hearts out of the most hardened cynic and from the gameplay visible in the trailer below it is a Ghibli fan’s dream come true. Just look at it!
It was our good friends over at Thumb Culture who pointed us to this one. And thanks be.
It's coming to Nintendo DS too. And first, some months before PS3.
