Ni no Kuni hasn’t been Level-5’s most successful IP, but the studio has tentative plans to build it into a series. CEO Akihiro Hino said that they would consider including additional package game releases and will expand the current world rather than taking the IP in a completely different direction.

It could be awhile before we see anything new, however. Hino stated that there are many things that Level-5 must finalize before progress can be made.

Finally, Hino discussed why there were two different versions of Ni no Kuni. The “first” title, made for DS, was created so  as many people as possible could experience the Ni no Kuni universe. For the PlayStation 3 version, Level-5 hoped to bring movie-like quality to the game in terms of the animation and soundtrack.

I hate to say it, but usually Spike’s Video Game Awards are useless for Nintendo fans. This year should be different, though.

Zelda will be the first inductee into the Video Game Hall of Fame, Skyward Sword is nominated in four categories (including Game of the Year!), and a couple of reveals do pertain to Nintendo platforms. There’ll also be a new trailer for Darksiders II (coming to Wii U) and The Amazing Spider-Man (coming to Wii, 3DS, and DS).

The show begins at 8 PM EDT (5 PM PDT), with a pre-show scheduled a half hour before the main event. U.S. viewers can watch the VGAs on Spike TV or through the stream here. UK viewers can watch a stream here.

The latest issue of Jump has a first look at Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland 3D. Following the (blurry) “scans” that emerged a few days ago, details from the report have been translated.

The game will contain all of the creatures from Joker 2 Professional, along with new monsters. There will also be four-on-four battles and players will be able to use scout skills in battle.

More details about Terry’s Wonderland 3D will be divulged next week, as it’ll be playable at Jump Festa 2012.

According to Eurogamer, Ubisoft’s Rayman Origins sold just 50,000 copies in the U.S. last month. That’s across all three platforms – Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. This is pretty disappointing given how the game has been universally praised.

Monster Hunter Tri G launched today in Japan! It’ll be interesting to see how the game performs, and how much it’ll boost 3DS hardware sales.

Flipper 2 keeping DSiWare alive! Should be a pretty good addition to the DSiWare lineup, if the first game is anything to go by.

Yesterday, perhaps inadvertently, Club Nintendo members were able to get a quick look at some new rewards that are on the way. When will they become available? Soon, according to the site.

The following notice was added in today:

“New rewards and games available for Coins coming soon. Please stay tuned!”

The new rewards include downloadable games, a Zelda poster set, and notebooks.

Thanks to Jonathan C for the tip!
