Development
Ni no Kuni was first announced in the Japanese publication Famitsu in September 2008. Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino and Studio Ghibli producer Toshio Suzuki revealed in an interview with the magazine that development on the animation aspects of the game had begun in July 2008. In the July 2010 edition of Famitsu, Level-5 revealed that the game was in development for the PlayStation 3.
Formerly subtitled Ni no Kuni: the Another World, Level-5 announced on June 24, 2010 that the title had been replaced with two separate subtitles for the DS and PlayStation 3 versions, with the subtitle of the DS version being Ni no Kuni: Shikkoku no MadÅshi and the PlayStation 3 version titled as Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Level-5 also revealed that both versions were being developed separately from scratch, and as such would feature different data, artwork, graphics, specifications and story developments, while only retaining the same "story axle". The PlayStation 3 version features graphics and visuals replicating Ghibli's traditional animation style, and features some cutscenes from the studio.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“This was the Eastham famous of late years for its camp- meetings, held in a grove near by, to which thousands flock from all parts of the Bay. We conjectured that the reason for the perhaps unusual, if not unhealthful development of the religious sentiment here, was the fact that a large portion of the population are women whose husbands and sons are either abroad on the sea, or else drowned, and there is nobody but they and the ministers left behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
