Yeah, throw that out the window -- the developer must have meant to say it'll launch in the <em>other</em> winter of 2012.<br /><br /><em>Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch</em>, a collaboration between Level-5 and legendary animation outfit Studio Ghibli, will launch later this year in the unspecified Winter 2012 time frame. It'll be released exclusively on the PS3 with both English and Japanese voiceovers.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/15/ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch-launches-winter-2012/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch launches Winter 2012</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/15/ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch-launches-winter-2012/">Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch launches Winter 2012</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 15 Feb 2012 14:20:00 EST.

<br />
Ever thought "<a href="http://joystiq.com/game/ni-no-kuni"><em>Ni no Kuni</em></a> looks nice, but I wonder what it would look like without all that Studio Ghibli art?" Neither have we, but you should watch these Japanese live-action ads for <em>Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch</em> anyway.<br />
<br />
In the brief clip above, and one more after the break, voice actress Mana Ashida explores realistic CG interpretations of locations from the game. She's almost certainly looking at green screens, but she looks suitably impressed! We're also impressed, but we have the benefit of actually seeing the impressive vistas.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/17/ni-no-kuni-commercials-offer-a-more-realistic-look-at-another-wo/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Ni no Kuni commercials offer a more realistic look at another world</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/17/ni-no-kuni-commercials-offer-a-more-realistic-look-at-another-wo/">Ni no Kuni commercials offer a more realistic look at another world</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:40:00 EST.

We'll forgive you if you weren't up late this past Friday evening watching the livestream of Level-5's "Vision" event with us -- it was kind of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/level-5-vision">in the middle of the night</a>. The Japanese publisher showed off several of its upcoming titles, and revealed a few neat surprises (<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/14/ghost-watch-unveiled-at-level-5-vision-event/"><em>Ghost Watch</em></a>, anyone?). Luckily for you, Level-5 has now released all the trailers from Vision and we've compiled them below the break for your viewing pleasure.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/17/level-5s-vision-event-in-trailers/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Level-5's 'Vision' event, in trailers</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/17/level-5s-vision-event-in-trailers/">Level-5's 'Vision' event, in trailers</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 17 Oct 2011 10:00:00 EST.

<br />
Level-5 must have come under the impression that some people might not want an enormous book to accompany the upcoming PlayStation 3 version of <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/ni-no-kuni">Ni no Kuni</a>.</em> A new trailer reveals that the game's "Magic Master" will go digital on Sony's home console. You'll likely recall that when <em>Ni no Kuni: The Jet Black Sorcerer</em> launched for the Nintendo DS in Japan, it came packed with the 358-page behemoth to accompany your journey.<br />
<br />
Instead, the "Magic Master" will be reproduced digitally for <em>Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch</em>, giving players access to its data at the touch of a button.<br />
<br />
Oh, you'd rather have two <em>ridiculously cute</em> characters from the upcoming game explain all of this to you? That option is also available to you, albeit in Japanese, just above.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/05/ni-no-kunis-magic-master-goes-digital-on-playstation-3/">Ni no Kuni's 'Magic Master' goes digital on PlayStation 3</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 05 Oct 2011 11:30:00 EST.
