PlayStation 3 exclusive Japanese role-playing game Ni No Kuni launches in the UK on 25th January 2013, Namco Bandai has announced.

Publisher Namco Bandai is localising the Studio Ghibli and Level-5 collaboration, adding English voices and subtitles in French, Italian, German and Spanish.

The game also includes the original Japanese voiceover, which you'll be able to listen to with English subtitles.

Ni No Kuni has a Western subtitle of Wrath of the White Witch. The name refers to a magical world into which the hero, a 13-year-old boy called Oliver, can travel, using a magical book given to him by a fairy disguised as a doll. The game appears to take place between two realities: the real world, and the land of Ni No Kuni.

Day 1 buy, though I'm afraid of poor sales for the game if the Japanese reception is anything to go by.

I am definitely going to buy it. The gameplay looks to be interesting and the graphics are just stunning. An interactive Studio Ghibli story...

The soundtrack is great.

Day 1. It's gonna be hard waiting for this one.

Kat is so sexy!

Most anticipated atm since the last guardian doesn't have a release date yet.

She is appealing

I'm getting it day 1, though it's a shame that only the PS3 version is being released outside of Japan

ohh i changed my ni no kuni sig too fast. it looks so wonderful and i believe the game itself is great as well.

but to be honest, your polls are more than lol. if you open a thread the only option someone has is to agree with you, have you ever seen a poll like your polls on the whole planet?
