Namco Bandai will be releasing Level-5/Studio Ghibli collaboration Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch in North America sometime during "Winter 2012". For Europe, it's early 2013.

That's the bad news. The good news? The delay is down to an extensive localisation push: it'll include an English dub (along with major European languages for the Old World), sure, but also a Japanese vocal track with subtitles, for those who like to keep things as nature intended.
