The World Ends With You

 After "God of War: Chain of Olympus", which I have beat up the final boss (a sad goddess), I am now waiting for "Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword" (which I will talk about next time), and also this one - "The World Ends with You". I am really looking forwards to this game, mainly because the producer and the developers are the same team of Kingdom Hearts franchise.

"The World Ends With You", known in Japan as "It's a Wonderful World" (すばらしきこのせかい, Subarashiki Kono Sekai?, literally "This Wonderful World"). The character designs are by Tetsuya Nomura and Gen Kobayashi. The distinctive art style is inspired by the aesthetics of Shibuya youth culture. Set aside the style, I think what attracts me more is the gameplay. Most of the gameplay focuses on finding clues and battling Noise. Players can use Neku (the main character)'s mindreading abilities to hear people's thoughts by using the touch screen of the DS. The combat system, called the "Stride Cross Battle System", uses both screens. Neku has three partners, one in each and specific chapter of the game. The player can freely choose which partner to use, once clearing the game. One of the three partners is displayed on the top screen, while Neku is displayed on the bottom. Battle actions take place simultaneously between both characters. The touch screen is used to move and attack with Neku, whose abilities depend on the pins equipped. On the top screen, movement can be controlled with the D-Pad, which is tapped for specific techniques. This game (the English version) is set to release in April in USA!
