Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch Has Downloadable Monster Hunting

A new monster is waiting for you after you clear Ni no Kuni: The Wrath of the White Witch. The PlayStation 3 version has downloadable quests like a monster hunt called "The Red Hot Diva." This quest brings Oliver to the outskirts of Decarock Mountain where you have to tame Magmaski.

Another downloadable quest titled "The Strongest Weapon" takes place in Doton Forest. Niko and Pucci, fairies played by comedy duo America Zarigani, open a weapon shop. They want to bring new customers in and Okan, comes up with the idea to get an eye catching item to draw people in.

Where the Heck is Ni No Kuni 3, Mun?

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?

phoenixwing106d ago

I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles

shinoff2183105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

I swear they just announced a few new games.

phoenixwing105d ago

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.

Michiel1989105d ago

they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.

thorstein105d ago

Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.

It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.

Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.

The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.

Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.

goldwyncq105d ago

If you want more Oliver, just watch the movie.

shinoff2183105d ago

Fking word. I've been hoping for this for quite some time.

melons105d ago

The premium games didn't sell amazingly, right?

shinoff2183105d ago

Not to sure. They should of though. They were pretty good. I like both.

Michiel1989105d ago

yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.

Inverno105d ago

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!

Right there with ya. Hope to hear anything about a ni no kuni non mobile game. Please level 5 i beg

jznrpg171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

Would love a Ni No Kuni 3 or whatever they want to call it. But like you said I want nothing to do with mobile and I am hoping for a console game. Also interested in other games they have to offer on console. I also saw you are playing Star Ocean remake on universal difficulty and I’m doing the same and near the end. Messing around in Fun City atm to try and delay the end a bit hehe. Such a great game

DarXyde170d ago

Quite prolific, looking at the anticipated lineup. Decapolice has been on my radar.

For the love of God, Dark Cloud 3 before I shuffle off the mortal coil, please

OtterX170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

Dark Cloud 3 please!!! 🙏🙏🙏 😭

Shawn Layden Hammers Down The Importance Of Preserving Games

Former PlayStation US bigwig Shawn Layden has weighed in on the subject of video game preservation during a chat with Lan Parties, stating that more should be done by the big players in the industry to help preserve games.

Preservation is important. I’m hoping that more people in the industry, certainly the big players, begin to realize that there’s an obligation and responsibility. This isn’t throw-away stuff we’re making. This is stuff that should be around for a long time because future generations will enjoy it in the same way that we have and it’s criminal that we’re not doing more to protect it.

Sony in particular has come under attack for its poor attitude towards game preservation, having originally announced plans to shutter the PSP, PS Vita, and PS3 stores back in March 2021. This was met with widespread backlash, resulting in the format holder confirming the Vita and PS3 stores would remain open.

Bring him back! Or put Shuhei in charge

Obscure_Observer187d ago

"Bring him back! Or put Shuhei in charge"

I would rather have Jack as Playstation CEO and Shu as President/Head of Playstation Studios.

But Layden is definitely better than Ryan

Eonjay186d ago

Wouldn't your rather the government pass a law banning PlayStation and requiring all citizens to purchase 15 Xboxes and GP subs?

Obscure_Observer186d ago (Edited 186d ago )

@Eonjay

"Wouldn't your rather the government pass a law banning PlayStation and requiring all citizens to purchase 15 Xboxes and GP subs?"

No.

I don´t want Playstation to disappear. Actually, I want Playstation to be quite successful and maintain its leadership on the market so MS could´t never get back to their cocky ways and f* with Xbox gamers ever again.

If you read my comment history, You´ll be able to confirm by yourself that I´d been actually encouraging your PS pals hurt by MS latest acquisitions to boycott Xbox games and support Sony instead.

So I´ve been noticing that only Jin Sakai, jznrpg and Apocalypse Shadow will actually walk the talk and boycott MS unlike some hypocrites talking sh*t about monopoly and consolidation, while giving their money to MS anyway.

Botton line, though, without Playstation as competition, Xbox gamers are doomed! Period!

shinoff2183187d ago

Meanwhile Nintendo shuts down what 3ds, and wii. You hear that

Fking crickets

-Foxtrot186d ago

Well yeah, it’s Nintendo, people don’t mind when they do something shitty

DarXyde186d ago

It's not that they don't mind. People just know what to expect from Nintendo. They're ridiculous in many ways. Charging for a terrible counterintuitive online service? Cracking down in emulation when they don't do enough for their own game preservation? Charging a premium for the tech they've got?

People mind, but they are perhaps willing to treat their bad behavior with less weight because they do deliver with games. It's functionally an abusive relationship with good sex.

Bizarre analogy, but I think it's true.

ModsDoBetter186d ago (Edited 186d ago )

Whilst the compang does the bare minimum with backwards compatibility?

EvertonFC186d ago

Preservation of games isn't just BC, so many gamers don't actually know what the full meaning of preservation even means.

ModsDoBetter186d ago

That's true, but the main focus from a consumer standpoint is allowing gamers to continue to play their older titles.

Preserving the history through backwards compatibility and ease of access, which Sony don't do a great job at...YET.

The ps catalogue is continually expanded and love being able to play older titles I enjoyed on PS3 like Tekken 6, so at least they're moving in the right direction on that front, albeit very slowly.

ModsDoBetter186d ago

Learn grammar is a bit rich coming from you who can't differentiate between your and you're. English clown 😂

Does this mean we can have a lot more "Playstation Classics"? I don't feel like we're getting enough for what was promised, at least they added a few games this month.

shinoff2183186d ago

True. I've been waiting for some of those old school rpgs from the ps1 ps2 Era, where f is legend of legaia Sony

FinalFantasyFanatic185d ago

Oh yes! Give me Legaia! I don't have my original PS1 copy any more (idk even know what happened to it). There's so many games I missed the first time around, I would love the opportunity to play them.

Yui_Suzumiya185d ago

The boom of Playstation Classics seems to have fizzled out last gen. Now it's mostly remakes or remasters.

MrBaskerville186d ago

Sony is in a position where they could do a lot, with their premium games. They have all the systems in place to do something cool on the psp, ps2 and psx front, but they don't really want to, it seems.
