Studio Ghibli And Level-5 Collaboration Coming To PS3

The partnership made in anime heaven just got a little sweeter. Earlier this week, the Japanese game publication Famitsu revealed that Ni No Kuni, the DS game developed by Dragon Quest/Professor Layton developer Level-5 and legendary animation team Studio Ghibli, is going to receive a proper HD update and release on the PlayStation 3. If the promise of Ghibli's gorgeously animated cutscenes and wildly imaginative style in 1080p didn't sell you on this game already, the newly released trailer for the PS3 version of the game just might. 
 
    
 
If you're even the least bit interested in Japanese RPGs, then you understand why fans are so excited about this partnership. Level-5 developed the last two major releases in the Dragon Quest franchise to wild critical and commercial acclaim, to say nothing of the other beloved franchises the team has under their belt. And Studio Ghibli is the animation house behind Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, some of the most beloved films to come out of Japan over the past two decades.  
 
Oh, and to top it off, the gameplay looks like it's directly inspired by the monster-battling antics of the Pokémon franchise. It practically reads like a love letter to Japanese game design. I'm half-surprised that Level-5 isn't billing this game's development as the collaboration of a new RPG "Dream Team." 
 
I'm glad I'll have the opportunity to see Studio Ghibli's art in 1080p, but what about you guys? Do you think that a console release is better suited for the kind of game Level-5 and Ghibli are developing?
