Ni no Kuni to Be Published by Namco Bandai in NA

Whenever Ni no Kuni is in the news, I immediately get excited in sheer anticipation. Even if it's just a couple of new screenshots or some miniscule reveal, I get super stoked for the game's release. Admittedly, all that a lot of us really care about at this point is the fact that Level-5 and Studio Ghibli's beautiful RPG is coming to North America.

That said, Namco Bandai recently announced that it would be publishing the game in North America and Europe. That means the localization of this highly anticipated PlayStation 3 exclusive is in that company's hands. Personally, I'm all for it, and Namco Bandai's mainstream appeal should work in favor of Ni no Kuni.

Unfortunately, that's all the company announced. No news regarding a release date or even a demo was revealed. At least we know that Ni no Kuni is coming out sometime in 2012, as vague as that may be.

OK, so I know this isn't the biggest headline in regards to Ni no Kuni, but I'm excited just discussing the game! I really can't wait to load this puppy into my PlayStation 3 and play the heck out of it! Namco Bandai, how about a release date announcement in the near future?
