FIRST 10 MINUTES | PS3 Sunday, January 27, 2013 | 9:40 AM

Our videos of Ni Ko Kuni

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will finally hit the European shelves in a few days and since we received our copy of the game, we figured you might want to watch a bunch of videos. We chose to play the game with Japanese voices but you can also select the English ones if it's more your thing. Here are two videos to begin with, more will come as soon as possible. Enjoy!
Update 2: The last 2 videos we promised yesterday are now up.

Videos make the game look amazing, Just wish it didnt have that daft Pokemon fighting style in it :( Think im going to pick it up anyway give it a chance and hope the fights dont annoy me too much.

Haven't played anything on any console in a long time (unless you count Temple Run). Will give this a try as it /looks/ pretty sweet.

graphics are downright dissapointing, going how good they looked without HD videos.

Characters Cellshade is good, but the scenery or is eitheir blured or the textures are hit or (mostly) miss. Eternal Sonata has half a decade and doesn't look that worse, even say better in some stuff.

Very easily one of the best-looking console games I've seen. Absolutely gorgeous.

Fortunately, the gameplay is every bit as good as the graphics.

You'd go with a Crysis HD-Texture Mod and probably still complain about textures being blurry. :-P
Plus: Eternal Sonata has an absolutely childish & pukeworthy artstyle (+ no free roaming, fixed angles and such) while this is admittedly childlike (+ the free roaming) but is still enjoyable for grown ups, just like the Ghibli movies. Eternal Sonata may look better in cutscenes than this ingame, but that's about it...

wow..after all this time. Just when the PS3 is about to usher in the PS4 (or whatever they're gonna call their next console) we finally get a decent JRPG.

you are just butthurt as usua godofwarfan, as it costs admitting the truth. it's called a opinion of a demo, and it's not entirely subjective, as there is lots of jRPGs in the market and a few with more solid visuals.

What's up?

bleachedsmiles @GriftGFX: i think i already read that it was confirmed your arcade purchases wouldnt carry over to the xo. Only profile and achievements i think (1 Hour ago)
Adropacrich2 @GriftGFX: nightmare (1 Hour ago)
GriftGFX starting to sacrifice a lot of the classic flexibility of console platforms. (1 Hour ago)
GriftGFX It's more of an issue than ever with the shift towards digital ecosystems. The more PC-like these devices come the less excusable the lack of legacy support becomes. Especially when they're already (1 Hour ago)
Adropacrich2 Mind you the amount of people that do want to play past games is very much smaller than the majority so it's tough luck anyway (1 Hour ago)
Adropacrich2 No compatibility is not as issue despite how I'd have like (1 Hour ago)
Adropacrich2 Thing is you can sill play these even if not connected so if there wasn't a supporting system in place for whatever reason I can still play these.Not on xbox one apparently (1 Hour ago)
