An original new game for the Nintendo DS called “Subarashiki Kono Sekai” or “It’s a Wonderful World” is being developed, at Square Enix by the Kingdom Hearts team and Tetsuya Nomura, ever since Kingdom Hearts II was finished.
“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 (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.

Reetesh, it’s not a KH game, it’s an RPG by the team who made KH 1&2, which should be just as good.
