A whole bunch of people who pre-ordered Ni no Kuni are having all sorts of issues getting their copies of the PS3 role-playing game, which came out Tuesday.
We've been getting tons of tips about the pre-order issues for the past two days, and people have taken to publisher Namco Bandai's forums to complain. People who pre-ordered the special Wizard's Edition of the game from Namco's store tell us their orders remain unshipped, and in some cases, cancelled entirely.
Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."
While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?
They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!
Get ready to embark on a journey filled with monsters, magic, and overpowered haircuts, because this list features the best JRPGs on the PS3.
There wasn't that many. Thanks to the west's criticism. It was definitely lacking compared to every other ps system. Dont get me wrong there were a few good ones i know that.
Only gripe I have with Ar Tonelico 3 is that Saki is annoying as hell whether English or in Japanese. Then Saki's English voice actor became Ionasal on Ar Nosurge she was a little annoying but not as bad. Johnny Young Bosch voicing Tatsumi I thought he did a great job. And Akiko Shikata with her vocals and the music from the games just went hand and hand.
Twinfinite: "During the PS3’s tenure, plenty of huge games launched, but the interesting thing is, many of the system’s rarer titles are largely not amazing games. Sure, there are one or two exceptions to that rule (I’m looking at you Ni No Kuni!), but many of the more desirable and valuable games in the PS3’s library are usually rare for a reason."
Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Sold my Painkiller for around £3 years ago and my Asuras Wrath for even less. Managed to pick up Lollipop Chainsaw and Splatterhouse again but they cost me a fair bit more than I initially paid on release when I first bought them.
Wish I bought Godzilla, the number of times I saw it in the game store for the price of a coffee and didn't bother.
i own nba, lolipop and nino kuni. never heard of the rest tbf xD surprised they are worth that much, for what they actually are.
Getting a valuable game is all luck.. I had three of these. Africa is one that people might have seen coming, but otherslike Ni No Kuni wouldn't have been.
My most valuable game I remember owning was Conkers Bad Fur Day. When the game was being re-released on Xbox (remake/ upgrade if you will), the price dropped dramatically. Once the game released and the changes were seen, the value went back up. Then it was released on Rare Replay and value dropped again. 2020 hit and all collectables shot up along with Conker. Before stopping around $110 which it currently is.
Games change all the time because their digital media that can be reproduced even in weird contract bindings (GoldenEye as an example). One day it can be worth $300 and the next $150. The shrink wrapped items in mint condition cannot be reproduced.. but that takes strength to spend, not open, and hope its worth something.
You know, it's actually a little surprising. I went looking for the game late on Tuesday, and it was surprisingly difficult to find. I tried two Gamestop's and a Best Buy before I found a copy at Target.
I thought maybe they just underestimated the buzz for this game and under-shipped, but apparently there's a problem?
I preordered mine today from a local store. Iunno why but I just had this feeling when I preordered it that I might end up not getting a copy. Recently some websites have made both special and normal editions from being able to be preordered. Maybe level 5 wasn't expecting so many people to pick it up and haven't dispatched enough copies?
Lol I purchased the game yesterday and the guy at gamestop told me I had to pre order the game because they only get limit quantity for the ppl that pre ordered since jrpgs don't sell in great amount. Thought I was screwed but he ended up giving me the last copy he had left. As of now I'm enjoying the game and my little nephew is immerse by it because of the art style. Think all the great reviews and word of mouth will bring justice to this game. Well I hope so.
I've had my Wizard's edition pre-ordered since Aug 30/2012. When it became available to Canadians.
I got anxious when it wasn't shipped out on Tuesday so I sent them an email about it.
They replied within 24hrs and it has now shipped :)
I recieved an email from Digital River stating they oversold the Wizard's Edition and were sorry, so heres a $20 gift card please accept our apology, now as a collector i've missed out on any chance of getting any special edition of this game, unless im willing to shell out $250 on ebay for one!
