Ni No Kuni Coming West?
If you’ve been coming to Nintendojo for awhile now, you know that many of the staffers are fans of developer Level 5 which is the company behind, among other things, the Professor Layton series. What you may not know is that there is a vocal minority of us here on staff who really enjoy the films of Studio Ghibli, known for Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and most recently, Ponyo.
Months ago Level 5 and Studio Ghibli announced that they would be working on a video game project together known as Ni No Kuni. This project was originally going to be a DS title until Level 5 also announced a PS3 Ni No Kuni game. While the game looks impressive, it was thought that neither would see the light of day on western shores. Thankfully there is a glimmer of hope now: Level 5 has announced an official English subtitle for both games. The DS game is titled Ni No Kuni: The Sorcerer of Darkness. Please note, however, that just because the game has an English subtitle does not mean it will make it to the US. If a US release date is announced, you can be sure we’ll let you know.
