It's a Wonderful World is an RPG being developed by the Kingdom Hearts team and Tetsuya Nomura of Square Enix for the Nintendo DS video game console. It's a Wonderful World takes place in modern Japan in Tokyo's Shibuya district. Players assume the role of Neku, a young empathic boy. Neku meets a young girl named Tsuki and both are forced to play a mysterious game.
Character designs are very similar to that of those in Kingdom Hearts. Neku looks like Sora with a bit different hair style, and Tsuki looks exactly like Kairi. The male to the far left of the scan looks fairly similar to Riku, and the female to the far right looks like Namin'e. In the scan, there is one more character standing above Neku. His face cannot be seen, but it's speculated to be a Roxas-type character. As he is the only hero Kingdom Hearts exclusive character not fully shown. Side Cross Battle System, the game's combat system, uses both screens: Tsuki on the top screen and Neku on the bottom, and the fights take place simultaneously. Players uses the touch screen to move and attack with Neku. His abilities so far are lightening, fire, move objects, and healing. Players also control Tsuki with the D-Pad buttons, which is tapped for techinques. A 2007 release has been set for Japan and, if any luck, will be in the U.S.
