    Ni No Kuni Tips:
    1. Get a bucket. Needless journeys back and forth to the bathroom will hinder your speed.
    2. No health foods or sleep. KFC, pizza & High fructose corn syrup energy drinks only.
    3. Ignore your body. Bleeding eyes & auditory hallucinations just means you're 'in the zone'
    4. Don't play the sequel. It's trash.

    Good review and description of the game. One correction though...Ni No Kuni on the Switch is simply entitled Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. They never claimed to be releasing Ni No Kuni Remastered on the system, and the packaging never mentions it being "remastered". It was always advertised as the original game. You correctly pointed out that this is indeed a PS3 port, but made the company seem a little untrustworthy by claiming it was advertised as the Remastered version.

    I recently go Ni No Kuni 2 on the Pc and it's been years since I had so much fun playing a game. There's a lot and I mean ALOT of things I think could have been way better but for some reason, I love the game and the first game for me just looks way better. I will definitely pick it up it might be my second Playstation game I buy after Kh3 or i might get it on the Switch not 100% sure if i want to play it on the go or not.

    I saw a lot of reviews (and I mean A LOT) basically say that this is a kids game, through and through, and therefore lacks the rewarding feeling of finishing a more "adult" game. Now, despite reading all of those reviews, I bought this anyway (and I bought it almost completely because the yokai watch* ppl also made this, and I thought yokai watch was fun-albeit p simple). Now, I'm not too far in it and I would like to mention that the overworld travel, in a big way, reminds me of DQ9 on DS. Idk if anybody else has played that and this and can see what I mean/agree. I am mostly talking about the way enemies are encountered and the way the resources you forage present themselves. The way it gives you a nice few shots of the town's and forests and dungeons, etc whenever you first get to them (although I suppose this is a common trait among post-pixel jrpgs

      Ni No Kuni was originally a Japanese-exclusive Nintendo DS game(二ノ国 漆黒の魔導士). It's quite fun, and comes in a big box that has a physical "Magic Master"/"Wizard's Companion" book.
      "Wrath of the White Witch" is essentially a remaster of "Dominion of the Dark Djinn" with more story and content.
      So when you say that Ni No Kuni is a perfect match for Nintendo, you are more right than you know.

  • @traceries5201

    My time to play games is so limited, especially with regard to long JRPGs. If you had to pick one to get on the Switch, would it be DQ11s or NNK?
    I have played the demo of DQ11 and up to getting the wand from the Cat King in NNK. Both were enjoyable beyond my expectations but I’m having a hard time picking. The art-style in NNK to me has a bit of an edge bc it really feels special and I love the dark/heavy storyline at the outset. That said I don’t love the overworld map of NNK. It looks nice but feels a bit clunky and dated. In general NNK also felt slower going than DQ11 which is clearly more modern in its world exploration, battle system speed.
    My current rationale is that NNK is more likely to see a sale price in the future so maybe DQ makes the most sense at full price.
    Story is important to me and NNK was more interesting, less expected but I have played too little of both to really know where they are going.
    Any thoughts on which game is long term more rewarding as a total experience?

    • @Luisgvn
      @Luisgvn  4 роки тому

      I agree with DQ11 is most likely worth more for your buck while NNK will most likely see a price drop. I'd go DQ.

    I'd just like to say, it kinda irritates me that the physical version on switch has a day one patch.

      How come? It polishes the game.

      @@Luisgvn It's more that, this is a physical copy yet they can't polish it enough so that they need a patch day one? I know crunch is a major issue but I want games to last.
