"Sadly this is an issue we no longer have control over," Namco Bandai UK said. "Our apologies."

Then, "It was a difficult decision to take as our options were limited, we are sorry for the delay."

Draggle familiar being made available for free as way of an apology it seems.

It's only a week but still bleh

Cartmanfrozen.jpg Title should say Europe.

RoadHazard · Jan 8, 2013

Only in Europe.

Namco Bandai said:
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will be available at retailers and through the PlayStation Store on the 1st of February 2013.

The European release date has been postponed for a week due to a shipping delay between Namco Bandai’s U.S. and European distribution networks. The game will still be in stores and available for download on January 22nd in North America.

We know how much you are looking forward to this title and we want to give you a present to make up for the extra week of patience. So we asked the wizards at LEVEL-5 to dig into their creature cage and they pulled out an adorable Draggle familiar: this lovely pet will be free to download throughout Europe on the day of launch.

How come? Seems really odd to just delay it with a week. Usually a delay is a couple of months.

Acquiescence · Jan 8, 2013

That's a bummer. Still, it does give me more time to play DmC so it's not all bad I guess.

LiK · Jan 8, 2013

Update title for EU only

I always hate it when a digital release is delayed because of stuff like this.

However, in this case I'll just download the US version on the 22nd. For cheaper.

Jucksalbe · Jan 8, 2013

Just when I was getting hyped. Oh well, enough other stuff to play.

Karsticles · Jan 8, 2013

Does the US still get the free familiar? :-O

Tizoc · Jan 8, 2013

No biggy for me, more time to finish off some stuff in my backlog along with playing Anarchy Reigns.

archnemesis · Jan 8, 2013

Not a big deal. I have plenty of other games to play and I'll probably have to wait another wait for it to arrive from the UK.

dc89 · Jan 8, 2013

Got damn it. I think I can wait a week longer but I'm really pumped for this game!

Dead Prince · Jan 8, 2013

US is unchanged? thank you.

InternHertz · Jan 8, 2013

No problem at all.
No money, and I've found my DS cart I had forgotten about so I'm back playing it there.
I'll put the PS3 version on my to-buy-backlog list, like a ton of other games =(

Persona86 · Jan 8, 2013

I remember when Persona 4: Arena was going to be delayed by one week in Europe..........

Meesh · Jan 8, 2013

When's the NA release??

Elios83 · Jan 8, 2013

It's just a week, it's much more important that the game actually delivers, I'm looking forward to reviews.

Lion Heart · Jan 8, 2013

Phew, I'm safe in Canadia. I'm really looking forward to this game, hopefully it had the same magic as Stuidio Ghibli movies.

Haunted · Jan 8, 2013

*cancels preorder*

reminder · Jan 8, 2013

Fuck that, this was my birthday game, now it's just a simple february game. Preorder cancelled!
