If you were wondering what the Kingdom Hearts team has been working on since development on Kingdom Hearts II finished up, here it is. Square Enix has announced an original new game for the DS. Titled "It's a Wonderful World," this game is being developed by the Kingdom Hearts team and Tetsuya Nomura.
It's a Wonderful World is set in real world Japan. The game takes place primarily in Tokyo's trendy Shibuya region and features famous locations like Scramble Crossing (according to some reports, the most heavily trafficked crosswalk in the world) and the 109 shopping mall (reportedly the most financially successful shopping mall in the world).
You play as Neku, a boy who has the ability to read the hearts of others. Neku meets a young girl named Tsuki while walking through the streets. The two end up in Shibuya and are forced to play a mysterious game.
While gameplay details are scarce at this point, it's known that the title has a battle system in which Neku and Tsuki face off against attacking monsters. You control separate battles that take place simultaneously on the top and bottom screens. How this is done is being kept under wraps for now, but you'll have to master this system, as the individual battles have an effect on one-another.
Details on It's a Wonderful World should be forthcoming in a few days as the Tokyo Game Show approaches. Stay tuned!
