Direct feed screens of the PS3 version of Ni no Kuni: The Another World.
Dear Ni No Kuni, please be good.
I’ve watched gameplay videos and mumbled my way through development diaries. I’ve poured over previews and whistled your theme tune. I’ve looked at scans of your reviews in Japanese magazines and marked your release date on my calendar. I’ve got one of your screenshots set as my wallpaper. I’ve done my part, now it’s up to you. All you have to do is be good. Really good.

I seriously hope gamers go out and buy this game, they have no idea how much supporting Ni No Kuni would mean for the industry. Level 5 hardly makes console games anymore and the Japanese are shying away from JRPGs on consoles like Ni No Kuni, so buying this game would help keep Level 5 making console games and show other developers that JRPGs can still be successful in today's market
I agree. I mean, I'm happy with all the great JRPGs on handhelds and all, but there's just something magical about playing a good, colorful JRPG on a big screen.
Only games that have really given me that fix this gen have been Eternal Sonata and Vesperia.
And a colorful JRPG on a big screen made with the help of Studio Ghibli (they have a ton of amazing animated movies) is even better. Can't wait to see the story and hoping it has the option for original voice actors with subs.
Preordered it a while ago when Newegg was having the deals for $12 off along with the free shipping.
They should stop making Inazuma 11 games and make Dark cloud 3 for vita or ps3. Wkc was decent from them but the early footage of the games fighting system looked alot better.
I will always support lvl 5 just for the fact that they made the best jrpg on the ps2, Dragonquest 8.
On that topoic, where the hell is Dragonquest 8 HD?! I want to play it again on my ps3!
I have it on my jp ds
does that count?
also http://www.siliconera.com/2... and Inazuma is fairly popular in japan, Level 5 is in abit of trouble but they aren't That bad off.
It's their western market that's abit...off
lolwhat?
White Knight Chronicles
White Knight Chronicles 2
Ni No Kuni
3 different Inazuma games on Wii
3 JRPGs and 3 other games in a single generation is a hell of an output for a team of 200 people. Especially since on the PS2 they only published five games.
This guy will be disappointed. No game can live up to your expectations when you to set the bar that high. Well, very few atleast.
The PS3 version of Ni no Kuni will come to the West in 2013, but there was also a very impressive DS game released in Japan in 2010. RPG Land gives it a "Great" rating, saying:
"Ni no Kuni is what happens when ordinary and simple pieces are put together by skilled people in wonderful ways. Ni no Kuni doesn’t dazzle with arcane mechanics, complicated story twists, tortured characters, or highly detailed polygons; it sticks to simplicity, and does that better than almost any other game on the market right now. It has a few flaws, and doesn’t stretch its wings and capitalize on some of its unique potential, but those flaws do not add up to anything that could drive people away from the game altogether."
We missed out on a gem here. :(
Thank goodness we're getting the PS3 game in English, at least.
I didn't realize this was also for the DS.
Edit: Just read the subtitle. So this is different from the Wrath of the White Witch? Awesome.
It has a lot of overlap in the story, but the PS3 version takes it farther. This one has a much different battle system and is easier than the PS3 version (younger audience on DS), but is still a great game possessing a lot of the missing aspects of todays Japanese RPGs.
People missing the "golden days" would do well to pick up both versions. It's just a shame this one is apparently going to stay Japan-only.
Gematsu: "Level-5 has put out two all-new, 15-second commercials for Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. It’s being prepared for a November 23 release on PlayStation 3 in Japan."
So according to this advert, you have to be a 6yr old girl to play this game.
Not really a good start to an advertising campaign.
So, according to you, you have to be identical to the person in the commercial to purchase a product?
Well, isn't that what advertising is about? Consumer & product association? The presentation of ones catchment market? LoL
; )
Looks great
Stunning artwork
Simply stunning. I wonder if it'll be more more of an adventure game or rpg.
Ni no Kuni > Kinect
Looks like it belongs in one of their movies. Fantastic!
