It's a Wonderful World (すばらしきこのせかい, Subarashiki Kono Sekai^?) 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 Shiki and both are forced to play a mysterious game and must win it within the seven-day time limit.

Character designs are handled by Tetsuya Nomura who brings his distinctive art style to the game.

Side Cross Battle System, the game's combat system, uses both screens: Shiki 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 lightning, fire, telekinesis (moving objects), and healing. Players also control Shiki with the D-Pad buttons, which is tapped for techinques. A 2007 release has been set for Japan. More details on this game will shown at Jump Festa 2007, on December 16-17.
