Level-5 will release the PlayStation 3 version of Ni no Kuni: Shiroki Seihai no Joou in Japan this November. North America will get the role-playing game in “early 2012,” Level-5 has announced.

Speaking at Sony Computer Entertainment Asia’s Tokyo Game Show press conference on September 16, Level-5 president Akihiro Hino confirmed during an interview session that an English version of the game is currently in production, and will release in North America early next year. Hino also confirmed a Japanese-language Asian release and post-release downloadable content. He didn’t go into detail.

Ni no Kuni stars the 13-year-old Oliver, who finds himself transported to a world parallel to his own. In this world, he has the chance to revive his recently-deceased mother, and pursues that goal with the help of a male fairy named Shizuku.

Thanks, GameSpot.

Still hoping the DS one also makes it over but, hey I'll take whatever I can get with this game and droll all over it either on my chair or in a plane.

A thousand thanks to you, L5.
2012 is already big for me as far as RPG's go - early in the year we already have this game and NeptuniaMk.II, off the top of my head!

Also some other game that is really famous. I can't remember the name right now xen, but I know you loved prequel to this game that is coming out. 

Are you talking about FF 13-2?

Don't ignite me, buddy ^_^

Yes, xen really did love the prequel. I think he is the biggest fan of that game on this site! :P

great news

This!!

And a thousand middle fingers to Reggie!

Every Level-5 game I have played has sucked.
