Japanese game developer Level 5 (Professor Layton, White Knight Chronicles) has teamed up with venerated animation house Studio Ghibli (My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service) to make DS title Ninokuni: THE ANOTHER WORLD, the developer's first "10th Anniversary" product. Ghibli is handling the animation for the game, which will be bundled with a "Magic Master" book which is akin to the book carried by the game's protagonist. The book has a crest to ward off evil spirits and contains secret elixir recipes and spells. Players even use information in the book in-game, apparently.

Beyond that, impossible to say.
He won't.
Miyazaki and video games do not get along.
Gloriously engrish.
Legal said that the title needed the extra "THE" otherwise the game would be French, not Japanese.
Wouldn't surprise me.
Awww.
That's a shame.
I guess I'm really wondering about what they're doing outside of animation...
Import it.
But then it'll look weird next to all our other DS games. The spines of DS boxes are very different between NA and Europe.
But waiting would suck so much! Especially if it takes as long to get over there as Laton.
I had no idea the spines were different, though. That's kinda cool, what did they change about them?
Here's what Euro DS boxes' spines look like:
A few games such as Geometry Wars: Galaxies has it's logo on the spine instead of text. I have no idea what the colored triangles are, but Wii and Gamecube games have them too.
All American DS boxes I've seen has the spines white at the top and the bottom looking like the front of the box.
Let's see, we've got 7th Dragon, which is apparently Niinou's attempt at making a DQ1 -esque/classic TBRPG game, complete with character job classes like in FF1.
Then there's Infinite Space, a Sega RPG centred around battling in huge spaceships.
And then Acquire's creating something called Dungeons and Dams, which is a mixture of a tower defense and a RPG, where you have to defend the dam from monsters while paying attention to water flow and the dam's layout.
And of course, Level-5's Ninokuni, which is this Studio Ghibli stuff, there's Inazuma Eleven 2, and they're giving the PSP two new RPGs; one involves a robot traversing a world made out of cardboard, the other involves you being a ghost that possesses despairing people and help them fulfill their dreams.

How about the publisher just does a simultaneous release. We live in the year 2008, we have the technology and the capabilities to do such a thing!
That would be best, but do you think you'll be able to wait? I guess I'm kinda impatient, but if I lived in in Europe I think I would end up importing pretty much half of what I played.
I only import out of economics not urgency to play a game. I never pine for a game if it isn't out yet in the UK except when it is like a few days later and every one of my American buddies is playing it a little early.
If it is like 6 months later then I dont care. In fact, my eagerness to play the game is probably diminished by then. Publishers will catch on eventually that delayed releases are hurting their sales. I'm pretty sure I've seen some tenuous evidence for that from chart track.
Every one of those games sounds fucking awesome.
I want a DS now.
But yeah, Miyazaki and games don't get along. The one time he allowed a movie of his to be made into a game it was for Nausicaa, which has a pretty explicit anti-violence message.
The adaptation turned it into a shitty shooter.
Thus ended Miyazaki's willingness to license his movies for video games.
That is truly tragic.
Which is why we should try to let him meet with our friend Mr Fumito Ueda.
Import it then use the Cover Project to print a US label for a US case.

The boxes are also different thicknesses.
Tales from Earthsea is kinda mediocre, and Pom Poko is.... interesting but weird.
Everything else they've done is good, though.
The original American release of Nausicaa also soured him on US releases for a while because they mangled the movie.
You have a problem with Transforming Genitalia Tanuki?
Oh my lord yes. There's more rampant ballsack exposure/transformations in Pom Poko than most hentai.
Edit: Yeah Tofystedeth, you're right. Looks like he had some pretty damn horrible luck when other people got their mitts on Nausicaa.
Not so much in principle, but the film isn't enough in the manner or style (even if technically the content) of traditional Japanese mythology to sell it.
Which is why you order the cases from Nintendo.com, a procedure detailed at the Cover Project :P

This is the single biggest mystery about NoE.

Someone is remaking Tsugunai for the handhelds? Nifty. I enjoyed that one. Where did you hear about this?
It is pretty damned funny. I mean Ghibli didn't really leave them any choice if they wanted to release the movie here. I'm just amazed they bothered.
Please enlighten me regarding the perpetrators of this crime, that I may find them and gut them. Slowly.

The fun part of the article is that it also lists Namco's Japanese-only Star Wars for the NES, in which Darth Vader transforms into a scorpion for some reason.
Mobygames also says you ride a whale on Hoth.

Let me guess, if you blow up an Ohmu you get a super-awesome power-up. :rolleyes:
