From the makers of Kingdom Hearts comes: It's a Wonderful World

This game looks like it will be quite good. Here is the trailer:

Trailer on youtube

Both the artwork and the way that the game controls caught my eye. You control both characters at once, one on the top screen with the D-pad, and one onthe bottom screen with the stylus. Sounds fun to me! :D

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

Good artwork. Reminds me of Samurai Legend Musashi, but hopefully it's a better game.

I should probably leave this thread considering i have no plans of ever purchasing a DS.

Now that looks pretty interesting. I'll have to keep an eye on this title. I'm especially interested since it's being done by the people who made KH. That's definitely a plus.

Ever since I heard of this, I've been interested to know more. The gameplay sounds like it could be tricky, yet intriguing if pulled off right. The style is also pretty nice-looking. =D

I think my first reaction to ever seeing this game was "DDR the RPG?" XD


EDIT: Actually, if they can pull of this dual screen battle system, that's a positive sign to me that some of my own DS ideas might just be able to work after all...

Say what?

As for the game, it does look interesting, although whether it's considered for foreign markets will probably depend on how it does in Japan.

Yes, but Tetsuya Nomura never worked for Enix. He always worked for Square.

That's what we were talking about.
Nomura is the director and character designer of the Kingdom Hearts series, and director and designer of the upcoming Final Fantasy Versus XIII, and is apparantly working on this It's a Wonderful World as well.

You know, I keep wanting to call it It's a Wonderful Life...
