People are bored to see such trendy English titles. The title should be simple. Ni no Kuni literally translates as The second land. It is a title seldom heard and in Japanese sounds old fashioned and mysterious. On the other hand it is impressive and new as well and this makes it a title quite fitting the fantasy subject. Studio Ghiblis video game project is to be released somewhere in 2009 for Nintendo DS and another gaming console. The official trailer can be viewed here. 23rd of May second update, NEW NI NO KUNI SCREENSHOTS: Back in September and October 2008 brought news on Studio Ghiblis collaboration with Level5 for the video game Ni no Kuni: The Another World.
