Last week we mentioned that the Level 5/Studio Ghibli videogame, Ni no Kuni: The Another World was going to be ported over to the PS3. This was pretty exciting, as while the DS does a fine job of showing off the animation from the House that Tortoro built, the PS3 would have an even better chance of replicating the actual artwork itself.
And boy does it do that. Coming to Japan sometime in 2011, Ni no Kuni: Shiroki Seihai no Joou is the PS3 version of the game and will better replicate animation of Studio Ghibli as well as offer a different experience than the DS game. Above is the first trailer for the game, and it goes about showing how much the game matches the art. It's pretty cool, and one of the best uses of cel-shading that I have seen. Even better, it shows clearly what the battle system will be like, which seems to be a type of monster collecting and fighting. Honestly, I'm pretty stoked by the trailer, and I hope that Level 5 is able to port it outside of Japan, and considering their latest attempts to enter new markets, this might happen.

I think you may be right, the gameplay looks different as well. The DS version (from the videos I've seen) seems to play like a Dragon Quest game, turned based combat but with some rune-drawing mechanics using the touch screen. On the other hand, the PS3 version looks like real-time combat. I could be wrong though. Either way, they both look awesome; cool gameplay with an absolutely gorgeous graphical style.
Also, I saw this trailer like a week ago. What took you so long, D-toid?
It's Japanese. That is all.

Joe Hisaishi. That equals instant win in my book.
O-oh my GOD.
Nothing.
Looks great :D
I was sold at "Studio Ghibli is making a game." But then they made it an RPG with a world map and real time battle encounters?! How can this be real!?!?
