Scan looks pretty good.

Huh? Wait, what?

Wasn't Ni No Kuni supposed to be for the Nintendo DS? How did it suddenly morph from a handheld game into a PS3 game? (NOT that I'm complaining, mind you!)

It's still coming out for the DS, when they announced the DS version they also announced a console version and now we know which console it's going to go to

[MOONPHASE]

Not totally surprising. Level-5 does like developing games for Sony and Nintendo but I suppose they could have made it into a PSP game or even PS2 for that matter but in HD would even be better considering how good Ponyo looked in HD. But this could explain why the DS version kept getting delayed.

Ghibli, Joe Hisaishi

Niiiice. If they're using pre-rendered backgrounds I wonder if they'll push for native 1080p. And PlayStation Move support.

As I said, totally not complaining!

It's just a pleasant surprise. I would have expected it to be a Wii title, if anything, due to somewhat better audience synergy.

Speculation on my part: Maybe Studio Ghibli wanted an HD version, which left the Wii off the list. Microsoft and Level 5 probably still aren't on good terms after the True Fantasy : Live Online debacle back in 2006. So maybe the PS3 selection makes more sense than I first thought.

Should be more details from the Ni no Kuni press conference in five hours.

- Apparently the subtitle translates to Queen of White Ashes
- It will release in 2011
- It's a different game than the DS version so it's not a port.
- Will get its own version of Magic Master Book (DS version
- PS Move compatibility was not mentioned

Why do you say that? I think it has at least a 95% chance of coming to America.

[Yaska]

Gotta love the visuals, plus it's a Ghibli too... Been a while since I've started to wait some game this much hehe. Now work faster Level 5

I hope this comes out in America as well. I noticed that Joe Hisaishi has something to do with the music too. The trailer mentioned something about 3D, but in Japanese. Is this going to be a 3D game?

[Cordre69]

I see it hitting the US pretty quick, why would anyone think otherwise?

[Cplhicks]

Hope it comes to America, and with an option for Japanese audio like Valkyria Chronicles had. Since it's not multiplat with 360, it should be doable. Looks great. I love the bit in the Japanese trailer when they point out it has a world map. Zing, FF13!
