Studio Ghibli Talks DS Game Project

[Sylocat]

You had me at "Ghibli."

Miyazaki hates videogames, but loves cartoons. Not sure how he rationalizes that to himself.

Apparently the reason he hates games is because he let some people make games of Nausicaa and they were so awful he just cursed the entire medium.

Ah, the Alan Moore trauma. Plus, he's also had to deal with the Macekre [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Macekre] of Nausicaa (no matter how hard I try, I can't quite forget Warriors of the Wind), so I'll understand if he's reticent about letting others touch his work...

Once again, thank all that is good and decent for John Lasseter.

Hmmm. A Naussica game in RTS form would actually be the kind of thing the world needs. That would be one SWEET RTS.

Naussica - RTS
Porco Roso - Flight Sim (Crimson Skies style)
My Neighbor Totoro - Adventure/Puzzle
Pom Poko - RTS or Tower Defense
Kiki's Delivery Service - Economic Sim (Like Railroads! but only one Train/Witch)
Princess Mononoke - FPS
Spirited Away - Action/Adventure

Right now, I'm considering removing you from my friends list just so I can add you all over again. BEST. LIBRARY. EVER. XD

Also, a DS pet game would be nice. Raise yourself a pet Totoro, and rub his belly with the stylus to cause a Totoro Smilegasm (like in the movie). A pet Catbus could be fun too.

And Castle in the Sky could include a little bit of everything... flight sim, shooter, adventure/puzzle, action RPG, platformer... it's a gold mine.
