This “Ni no Kuni” Trailer Will Satisfy Anime & Game Lovers

Lost in yesterday’s early E3 trailer releases was this gem by developer Level-5. And it shouldn’t have been.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch centers around a boy named Oliver, who is on a quest to save his mother. Along the way he befriends allies who will ultimately lead him to an encounter with the White Witch.

A joint venture with publisher Namco Bandai and Studio Ghibli, the latter’s animated touch is on full display in this trailer. Joe Hisashi’s soundtrack also shines.

The English dubbing didn’t offend me, personally, but gamers will have the option to switch to the Japanese track should they prefer to.

Expect to experience this magical adventure on January 22, 2013.
