Namco Bandai has given us a more specific time frame for the North American release of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. The PlayStation 3-exclusive RPG has gone from "this year" to "winter 2012." At least they were kind enough to indicate which half of winter they're referring to.
It's a shame we can't get this Studio Ghibli eye candy sooner -- it seems like an ideal game to play over the long summer -- but that's one of the downsides to keeping tabs on pre-release games. I could go for some of that blissful ignorance right about now.
"Our top priority for the Western release of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is to localize the game with the same level of quality and attention to detail that fans of Level-5 and Studio Ghibli have come to expect," says Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino. We'll be waiting!

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

When specifically did you come in Japan?
I come in Japan all the time for around ¥42000
@ VoltySquirrel
I believe this was released in November 2011 for Japan.
What is really humbling is that as much as I wanted to playing this sort of RPG and Mass Effect 3 come March I'm kind of glad that its delayed!
Another point is that in the press release that said that the game will include BOTH English AND Japanese voice overs! Loved playing Valkyria Chronicles with Japanese voice overs and English subtitles and can't wait to do the same for this game...YOSHI!

Level 5, you buttholes!!!
Theres never been more japanese rpg options in any gen on any system considering there relative position.
The game sold AMAZING in japan considering the ds version almost went platinum.
they are working on so many rpg developments, I am sure they have to re arrange localization times. WHo cares
I'm sorry. You're completely right because I actually touch a butthole at regular intervals and I know how great a butthole can be.
So let me rephrase what I said.
Level 5, you vermiform appendixes!
