Studio Ghibli RPG Heading For PlayStation 3
Now you won't have to rely on the DS' screens to enjoy Ghibli glory.
Level-5, the impressive studio behind the Professor Layton series, has been working on a project with Japanese animation company Studio Ghibli called Ninokuni: The Another World. Originally announced for the Q4 2010 release for the Nintendo DS, it's now been revealed that a PlayStation 3 version is also in the works.
Famitsu features the PS3 edition of the game in its latest issue, and it's looking very nice indeed - what's even more exciting is the thought of Studio Ghibli's animators creating original 1080p content for the game. If you've ever watched a Ghibli film, you'll know that the studio is unmatched for its incredible quality.
Ninokuni is a role-playing game, where spells are cast using the Nintendo DS' touch screen. If the addition of a PS3 version means support for the PlayStation Move, then my friends we are in business.
Level-5 will likely reveal actual details on the PS3 version during a press conference later in the week - as it happens, Famitsu only includes screenshots of the game running on Sony's platform.

Id love to see a game based on Laputa but certainly not based on Totoro.

Studio Ghibli are getting a bit boring. They are the mainstream 'alternative', which is how they market themselves. The arthouse kids love this s**t, but I personally find their work dots all the i's and crosses all the t's. That means, critics love their stuff, as do the people who love what the critics love.....

I think you saying what all the critic loving pretending not love critics people would want you to say. sure ghibli have done some crap as far as us westerners are concerned, Whisper of the Heart! and meet the yamadas comes to mind, but tell me,
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
Castle in the Sky
Porco Rosso
Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
&
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
don't tick all the boxes
and the fact my kids can enjoy each and everyone from aged 2 with Totoro & Ponyo to my age with the more mature of the series surly shows that its not critic based loving or loving because critics do, or pehaps your a raccoon in disguise!
ps did you cry at the end of Grave of the Fireflies or were you thinking about how the critics were crying?

Meh.
With the notable exception of the excellent Princess Mononoke, Ghibli might as well be the Anime answer to Disney. (That's not a compliment.) People who like Ghibli seem to like it a lot, but the art style and feel of it never really did much for me. "Mainstream Alternative" is pretty close to right on the mark...Ghibli is harmless looking enough not to scare off the larval anime fan...the kind of thing your mom might dig if she wandered in while you were watching it dubbed. (You bastard, how dare you expose your mother to dubbed anime.) Its safe enough...which might be excusable if I liked the art and/or feel, but meh+safe=utterly forgettable.
