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.

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.

November NPD: Rayman Origins sales

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.
