Heres an excerpt:
Square-Enix has taken quite a shine on the Nintendo DS, but its efforts have so far used the system only in very specific ways -- the RPG giant has made some great games already for the system, but we kept wishing that they'd find more use for the DS touchscreen and two-screen set-up, making full use of this unique system.
In Subarashiki: It's a Wonderful World, we see just what's possible when this company really sets its mind on making the most of a system. The unique visual style and constant two-screen gameplay of this title is outstandingly realized down to the last detail -- this game just exudes top-tier talent. Members of the Kingdom Hearts staff were a part of the project, and Tetsuya Nomura and Gen Kobayashi were on hand for character design. This is no little portable game, this is an epic adventure put on the Nintendo DS most specifically because it's just about the only platform that could render this concept as imagined here.
