Speaking at a Tokyo Game Show event earlier today, Level-5 Akihiro Hino boss made a lot of people reading this website very happy, announcing that the PS3 version of gorgeous RPG Ni No Kuni would be getting a North American release.
It's due out in early 2012, and while no mention was made of a European/Australasian release, it's not like that matters: with the PS3 being region free, if the title isn't released where you live, importing won't be a hassle.
It might be for the post-release DLC Hino also briefly touched on at the event (though he didn't actually say what it was), but that's another worry for another day.
