From a dream staff...

Level-5's Studio Ghibli tie-up Ni no Kuni hits the DS on December 9. That's over three months away, but Level-5 has already started up the promotions.

Two commercials were recently posted at YouTube. View them here:

The first spot says: "This winter's ultimate fantasy, from a dream staff."

The second one says: "The game you're all looking forward to, Ni no Kuni, is the first game to come with a book of magic. We've been receiving a rush of inquiries, so you should quickly pre-order."

Ni no Kuni will be the focus of Level-5's Tokyo Game Show booth, which is being designed in the image of a castle from the game. Both the DS and PS3 version will be playable, but the PS3 version is not due for release until next year. [Seen at Game Jouhou]

I'd like a US release window for this and Dragon Quest VI.

Seeing Level-5 put this much effort into SUPPORTING their game is fantastic.

Hopefully they will do the same in the West....(yea they wont but we can hope right?)

They always did that? heck they create so much hype for their games in japan, like as if its a breaking news of the end of the world or something, but i think their games deserve it.

Well they advertised professor layton a lot

Those are actually the last commercials I remember seeing for the DS over here. Professor Layton got a big push last year.

OH MY GAAAAHHHHHhh

Studio Ghibli awesomeness. >.< 

That was due to the fact Prof Layton was published by Nintendo, same with Dragon Quest IX.

Hasn't Level 5 recently announced they are to set up a Western publishing section?  If so, I expect Ninokuni to be published by themselves, but to receive market support from Nintendo.
