A video has slipped out into the world for
Ni no Kuni: The Another World, the upcoming DS RPG from Level 5 (
Professor Layton) and Studio Ghibli, the animation house behind the likes of
Spirited Away and
Howl's Moving Castle.
If that leaves you scratching your head in bafflement, it's about... Wait, didn't we already tell you that Studio Ghibli is involved? You want more? OK, so Studio Ghibli's handling the animation. The story follows a young chap who accidentally causes the death of his mother. He's not too chuffed, as you'd expect. Things get a little weird when a fairy turns up and hands him a book which she tells the lad can guide him to a parallel world, Ni no Kuni, in which he can save his mother.
The title marks the tenth anniversary of Level 5, so it should be looking to make something all shiny and nice. For more, you should probably check out the video
