Meet Studio Ghibli’s PlayStation 3 game, Ni No Kuni

Retro side note: Back in the 80s in the laserdisc era of arcade games one of my favorite games was Cliff Hanger which used footage from Hayao Miyazaki's Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro and Lupin III: Mystery of Mamo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_Hanger_(game)

Castle of Cagliostro was one of the first anime I saw. I'm not generally an anime fan, but it is a great one.

The studio ghibli movies generally stand in a class of their own as far as anime goes. Kind of like pixar.

If my son was a little older, this would be my excuse to buy a PS3 right away! But my wife also loves Miyazaki's movies and studi Ghibli so maybe I found me excuse anyway! ;-)

holy *&%$ it looks JUST like a movie.

Pity playing it would require buying a Sony product, or I might get it. Studio Ghibli is well known for making great things.

I wish it was turn based, but it's so beautiful - might try it out! (I'm big Dragon Warrior/Quest fan!)

Looks like real-time Pokemon. I'll buy it.
