Ni No Kuni To Come To North America

The very imaginative RPG Ni No Kuni is scheduled for release for the Playstation 3. The game originated as a 3DS game. The Playstation 3 version will start where the 3DS game started, but will continue with an extended story at about the midpoint of the game, where the 3DS version ends. Studio Ghibli has been working on the North American version for some time, and are expecting to release the some time in 2012.

The player assumes the role of a 13 year-old boy named Oliver, a resident of Hotroit City, whose mother, Arie, dies suddenly. A doll, previously given to Oliver by his mother, reveals itself to be a male fairy named Shizuku, who gives Oliver a magic book that allows him to go to the world of "Ninokuni," a reality parallel to his own, where the fairy states the boy may be able to revive his mother. There, he encounters alternate versions of people he knows.
