Studio Ghibli's "Ni no Kuni" Comes to PS3
Posted on June 24, 2010 by Zack Reese
The famed animation studio is bringing another version of their game to Sony's console.
Level-5 has recently announced that their once-exclusive Nintendo DS adventure title "Ni no Kuni" would also be coming to Sony's Playstation 3 under the subtitle "Ni no Kuni: Queen of the Holy White Ashes." The game is not a port, as the studio is aiming to create two different games based in the same world.
Studio Ghibli, the famed studio behind such animation instant-classics like Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and Howl's Moving Castle, has been working behind the design of the game. Screens were shown in the latest July 2010 issue of Famitsu where the news first broke around the news sites.
"Ni no Kuni" tells the story of a young 13-year old boy named Oliver who comes across a doll that he received from his mother who recently passed away. The doll suddenly comes to life as Shizuku that gives him a magical book that can transport him to the parallel world of Ninokuni where he is given the chance to revive his mother. Players will utilize the magical book during combat where they will have to draw the spells using their "wand" on the screen.
"Ni no Kuni" will be released for the Nintendo DS in Japan on December 9th of this year. The Playstaiton 3 version is currently scheduled for sometime in 2011.
Anyone else extremely excited of the prospect that we will finally be able to witness Studio Ghibli's prowess in the animation department in full 1080P with uncompressed technology?
Check out the first screenshots at the Media Vault and check out the first trailer below.

This makes me very sad I watched the first 30min ptseod on YouTube and the game looks amazing on the DS (secretly hoping for 3DS version??!!).I'm very likely to pick up the ps3 version as I love the Studio Ghibli art and the wonderful music.I wonder tho if they released a 3DS version could the magic book be integrated in similar way to how you can view game manuals like with Mario 3D Land?
ReplyI am going to end up importing and reyinlg on the Kanji to roughly understand the story Don't see why they are not looking at a 3DS release unless Level-5 is scared that the install base is too small
ReplySweetbearies, I'm sure your nephew will like it. And you might like it, too, beuscae Hayao Miyazaki movies aren't just for children. They have a lot to offer adults. Of course, this one has just now come out, so the people of Japan get to see it first! But we'll get our chance soon.
ReplyCan't see why they would be scared for a 3DS reseale? 3DS is selling well now and because of the pokemon-like aspect of this game, I can't see there being much of a problem to get resealed on the 3DS. I hope it does
ReplyJustin: Yeah, there's just something kind of odd/"off" about the first one, isn't there? It's like the white witch is tankig a little break from her real pose or something. It's just so ... casual. And, honestly, the witch could look a little more dramatic, IMO.Anyway, I agree with you that it would be great if the "All-in-One Edition" cover were used for the NA release, too. It certainly would catch the attention of more gamers than the current box art, that's for sure.BTW, I'm jealous that you're going to be able to play this and I'm not. For the time being, anyway :)
ReplyThere are certainly a lot of paruictlars like that to take into consideration. That could be a great level to convey up. I offer the thoughts above as common inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you carry up where the most important thing shall be working in trustworthy good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged round issues like that, but I'm positive that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Each boys and girls feel the impact of just a second’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

ReplyHaha yeah, I think I did hear something about how the CoM gemaplay was a bit of a pain in the ass. If memory serves me right, the whole game sounded like one long dungeon troll?
ReplyI love the city and I go there at least twice a year. If you ladies want to set sotmiheng up for late March, I'd love to fly up and shoot with you in NYC.
ReplyAnonymous18. November 2011 Einfach und intuitiv, 28. September 2011Vona0 Rezension beiezht sich auf: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Professional (CD-ROM) Das Programm ist wirklich gut und bietet viele Funktionen, die es erlauben nicht nur hobby- sondern auch berufsme4dfig zu programmieren. Die Installation dauert zwar je nach System 20-40 Minuten, erfolgt aber komplett automatisch. Einfach den Installationspfad we4hlen, den Rest macht das Programm Microsoft-typisch automatisch. Auch wenn man noch Neuling in VS ist, so lernt man doch mit ein wenig Probieren die meisten Funktionen relativ schnell ohne stundenlang in Foren oder auf der Microsoft-Seite nach mf6glichen Funktionen zu suchen. Nach ungefe4hr zwei Tagen zu je 2 Stunden kennt man die am meisten benf6tigten Befehle. Ich selber benutze es ffcr C++ und muss sagen, dass auch Debugger und automatische Vervollste4ndigung der Code-Befehle ohne Probleme laufen. Wie in jeder fcblichen IDE wird auch hier der Code direkt eingerfcckt oder kenntlich gemacht, um zu wissen zu welchem Block er nun gehf6rt. Einen kleinen Kritikpunkt gibt es allerdings schon, denn ffcr wirkliche Anfe4nger in der Programmierung sollte man zuerst mit einer Open Source Variante anfangen. Wenn einem dann das Coden von Applikationen gefe4llt, so kann man auf VS 2010 getrost umsteigen. Ffcr Leute, die bereits ein wenig Programmiererfahrung haben, ist dieses Programm allerdings zu empfehlen, da so selbst Hobbyprogrammierer auf Funktionen zugreifen kf6nnen, die sonst nur Unternehmen und ihren Mitarbeitern zur Verffcgung stehen. Bei dem Preis sollte man sich allerdings genau fcberlegen, welche Projekte man erstellen mf6chte. Ffcr mich mach es Sinn, da ich jeden Abend damit arbeite. Wer aber nur einmal in der Woche ffcr wenige Stunden programmiert, sollte sich den Kauf vielleicht fcberlegen und das Kosten-Nutzen-Verhe4ltnis abwe4gen.Helfen Sie anderen Kunden bei der Suche nach den hilfreichsten Rezensionena0War diese Rezension ffcr Sie hilfreich?a0 | a0
