Ni No Kuni II may be delayed to March 9th, 2018.
- Thread starter DreamsthatFade
- Start date
This word "stacked" being used so liberally in this thread regarding January and February. "Stacked" was releasing a game in the last three weeks, not in the same month as a few anime games, a download-only jrpg, and a Final Fantasy arcade port. Monster Hunter is maybe the only thing that is going to affect Ni No Kuni's sales if they are even targeting the same demographic. Ni No Kuni 1 sold well because people outside of usual anime/jrpg crowd bought it into it a bit, and I doubt the three people who are going to buy Seven Deadly Sins over it would affect its sales any more than releasing in March next to Yakuza 6 and God of War.
That's... Honestly pretty smart IMO. I want to buy in, but couldn't justify getting both this and MH World within a week or so of each other. Moving it to March might change that!
If this is true I'll get Xenoblade 2 this year instead. I don't mind waiting an additional couple of months for Ni No Kuni 2.
I just got another update from Best Buy moving the release date back to January 19 - what is going on?
I'm actually ok with this delay, as I have yet still to beat Persona 5, and will be awaiting Yakuza 6 in March along with when God of war releases. Let it wait, I have too many games to play so far that NI No Kuni II would get put on the back burner anyways.
oh boy oh boy oh boy
let it be a screw up
its definitely bamco.

the date definitely changed on psn too. though oddly it was set to june.was never changed on eu psn.
its definitely bamco.
That's fine January was already packed as hell. I just hope DQ 11 doesn't end up coming around this time.
Don't know if it's a, "better" date, but given how stacked January already was, this works for me. Also I think it was releasing the same day as Digimon Cyber Sleuth 2, which felt like Bamco kind of saturating that day with JRPG's. I could only imagine NNK2 would have hurt Digimon's sales.
Not really. Dragon Ball and Monster Hunter are the only big games that month and they both already have their niche. Ni No Kuni would have been fine in January.
Early 2018 was getting a little crowded, so the move makes sense, but it's still bad timing for me. Yakuza 6 launches the same month & I know for sure that's getting all my attention. Keep getting the feeling I'll just be waiting to pick this game up on sale over the Summer or Fall.

Now Best Buy sent another email saying that the release date was changed back to 1/19/17. I think the thread can be closed now. Best Buy is definitely not a source on release dates.
There is no chance God of War is releasing in March. A game that expensive and massive will have a release date at least 6-7 months before its release.
I guess we will find out next month, I expect a release date at either PSX or Game Awards
Oh boy hopefully this ain't true. January is prefect for this one. I've been waiting a very long time for it.
So we got Yakuza 6, God of War and potentially Spider-Man in the spring. Plus Ys VIII PC, Xanadu EX+ and maybe Cold Steel 2 PC all releasing in Q1 next year. And Vampyr just got pushed to Spring as well.
That's a whole lot of games. Once again Winter/Spring get quite busy.

Seems like this probably is a Best Buy error after all. You'd think after this amount of time Level-5 and/or Bamco would have said something too. Hopefully we're off the hook for now.
After Uncharted 4, Last Guardian, and Gravity Rush 2 all got hit with last-minute delays weeks before they were supposed to be out last year, Sony is being a loooot cagier with release date announcements. We'll probably get one at PSX.

I also got a second email from BestBuy saying the release date has been updated back to January 19 - phew! I have been looking forward to this one since it was announced, and I hope the January release sticks.
