MOEA Ninokuni a.k.a The Another World


"MOEA" - that's my new word for 'MASSIVELY OVERLY EXCITED ABOUT'. Please feel free to use it. I Wish I could have gone to the Tokyo Game Show this year but alas, I had other priorities. The latest trailer by developers Level-5 show an incredibly immersive story thanks to Studio Ghibli's (Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Sprited Away, Howl's Moving Castle) artistic prowess.

2010 seems a ways off but I know 2009 is coming to a close so the wait isn't that bad. This game has EPIC written all over it. News on the street is the game follows classic RPG rules which is fine by me. I want the narrative, not the hyped-up sudo-RPG tactics.

It still boggles my mind the game is for the Nintendo DS. Years ago the platform was called a fun time waster but there are so many epic games on it now, it's easy to say those naysayers were WRONG.
