"Ninokuni: The Another World (Nintendo DS, with an port to an unspecified console also planned) is an RPG starring a 13-year-old boy who's invited into a magical fantasy land by a spirit, a world eerily close to Earth that's under the rule of a dark sorcerer. There he hopes to deal with the issues that haunt his life, not the least of which being that he was responsible for his mother's passing not long ago. This project is no doubt the biggest announcement of the day, mainly thanks to one small detail: Studio Ghibli, Japan's most famous animation studio, is working on Ninokuni's animated sequences, the first time the company has ever provided original work for a video game."Dunno if Hayao Miyazaki likes the idea, but given Level 5's reputation with Professor Layton...

"As big as all these story details are, the real reason the general public (in Japan at least) has taken note of Ni no Kuni is due to its connection with Studio Ghibli. In an interview in Famitsu, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino and Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki revealed that animation powerhouse got to work on the animation side of the game around July of last year. It's been over 10 months, and they're still working on it!"
