Mal Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) Didn't see one for the PS3 version, which is different than the DS version (I should get it... and a DS), so here I go. Its almost seems like the RPG that I have been waiting for for YEARS. I don't want to be overhyped but man does it seem like the game that have been missing from my life.Things that caught my most attention... the overworld and A DRAGON THAT ACTS LIKE AN AIRSHIP.Okay I'm done now. If this doesn't get a Western release, blood will flow. Edited September 9, 2013 by Deanb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) God DAMN. that looks beautiful. The animation is something to behold, so fluid. And look at it. World map, fantastic looking environments, lovely characters, that looks so so sooooo damn good. DS version should be good too, that comes with a book of spells, the 2 games will share the same overreaching world but how the story develops, gameplay and environments is all different to the PS3 one. not a sniff of a western release though for that one, which came out last year.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm waiting on this one, too. I'm taken by uncertainty when it comes to Ghibli affairs, but it's gorgeous, and Level-5 sometimes makes good games. Sometimes. I really like the spellbook that comes with the DS version.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 It's due in early 2012 in North America. No mention of EU It looks gorgeous. I can't think why the DS version never came out here. the imports look hella expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 I just found out about this coming to NA in early 2012. Fuck yeah. Day one for sure. Now about that DS one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 It's annoying that this game doesn't even have a page yet on Amazon, let alone a pre-order option. Bioshock Infinite doesnt release till Fall 2012 and you can pre order it. Goddamn marketers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 The NA version was announced like a week ago dude. Bioshock Infinite was announced ages ago and they've detailed much more solid plans for releasing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiddity Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I suppose so, but early 2012 isn't that far away now. It's not like Amazon only puts up pages for games with solid release dates (Infinite is given as December 31st). They need to drum up interest for this game, its already got a weird name and a niche audience, the very least they can do is get the game on online retail sites... I'm not blaming Amazon by the way or complaining about Infinite either, but if they want the game to sell they (the company releasing the game in NA) gotta get it out there more.

Mal Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) A bit more: I wonder how much the Move is going to be used. Edit: Fixing the media links. Edited April 14, 2012 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faiblesse Des Sens Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Oh god. After the botched launch of Dark Soul's I'm worried about this. Definitely not pre-ordering any sort of special edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) English-voiced trailer.And apparently its pulled back till Q1 2013? Eh, that is fine. Edited April 14, 2012 by MaliciousH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Games like this are probably best to not come out during the holiday season. Early 2013 would be a good time as it should be able to get some more attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 True that but I didn't know it was held back by a full year. I was expecting the game like... right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 True. What the fuck is this? The 1990s???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Is it really going to be called "Ni No Kuni" outside of Japan? Im sorry, but shit like that doesn't sell. They need to change the name for the US at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 I believe so. They did give it the subtitle The Queen of White Sacred Ash (I think?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 that's what the Japanese title translates to apparently, but the English (sub)title will be Wrath of the White Witch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 True. What the fuck is this? The 1990s???? If this was the 90's, I would of had the energy to learn Japanese and pirate the game... and yes, Gerbil is right, it got subtitled to Wrath of the White Witch. Ni no Kuni could be translated, according to Wikipedia, to Second Country or The Another World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 sad face. The DS version definitely won't be released in the West. I guess that was fairly apparent at this point but it is still sad to see it in black and white. Apparently it's because it came with a massive book which they couldn't afford to translate and reprint. They can do it with the PS3 version because it is digital. I'd have been happy with a digital version on the DS game if it meant we could get the game, but hey ho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchikoma Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Well... with a flashcard or emulator, I'm certain there's a team working to translate the DS version... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 http://www.deculture.es/2012/06/29/ni-no-kuni-ira-bruja-blanca-edicion-coleccionista/ If you dont know Spanish, its basically that plush doll, those 2 dlc creatures, the game, and a 300 page spell book or something that has a bestiary, item list, a history of the world, and uhh..magic spells. And its all in a bigass white box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel_excel Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Here's a english pic. Holy shit. Don't think I've ever wanted a special edition more. The Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch – Wizard’s Edition will include a 300+ page hardback physical copy of The Wizard’s Companion, the spellbook Oliver uses throughout his journey in the game. The full-colour Wizard’s Companion contains a bestiary of all the creatures found in the game along with in-depth item descriptions, spells and history of the other world. The limited-run Wizard’s Edition will also contain a plush doll of Drippy, Oliver’s guide through his adventures, as well as exclusive “golden mite” and “golden drongo” DLC familiars. Fans who pre-order Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch at participating retailers will also receive two exclusive familiars developed especially for the western release: flutterby and griffy. Price is supposed to be $100 so I'm guessing €100 over in the EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
