Unfortunately the special edition has turned into a public relations fiasco for Namco, but a collector's dream.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003ENi No Kuni's special edition is called the \u003Ci\u003EWizard's Edition\u003C\/i\u003E and includes the usual special order type items - music CD, guide book, custom character figure, and the game itself.

Besides small isolated stock issues, the standard edition has been readily available.  The game resells for about $8-10 less than original MSRP, which is normal for a game four weeks after releasing.  Wizard's Edition is a completely different matter.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EOn January 25th Bandai-Namco announced \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/www.namcobandaigames.com\/community\/viewtopic.php?f=35\u0026t=13045\"\u003Ethey had oversold the Wizard's Edition\u003C\/a\u003E.

The $20 credit didn't sound like a very good deal compared to an item worth 15x that amount.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EThis same problem occurred with \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/blog.pricecharting.com\/2012\/02\/kingdom-of-amalur-reckoning-limited.html\"\u003EKingdom of Amalur Signature Edition\u003C\/a\u003E.  They inadvertently sold 12 extra copies of this edition.  Instead of canceling orders and sending token refunds, they created 12 \"Exclusive Signature\" editions that were even more rare than the originals.\u003Cbr\u003E\u003Cbr\u003EMany people have asked Namco to do something similar, but at this point they have refused.  If Namco ever does make new copies of the Wizard's Edition resale prices will plunge.

At one point you're fighting against a werewolf in a small village, then you're riding a mythical horse while being attacked by Wargs. It does an excellent job of giving you a new gameplay style between all the hacking and slashing.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAnd to top it off, the cinematics are excellent.

We got our greasy little mitts on the game and we can tell you, despite our disappointment that the Wii FPS version of the game has been put on quasi-hold, we are quite excited for The Grinder on Xbox 360 and PS3.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe game is best played with friends, either on the same console or online (a feature they promised), due to it's co-op nature. This particular demo was heavy on the guns and blood (what good zombie\/vampire\/werewolf\/Frankenstein game isn't?) and it was a serious blast. Pun sadly intended.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe demo allowed all four players, two brute men and two sexy ladies, to cycle through all the currently available weapons at will. There were plenty of blaster guns, flame throwers, grenades, and rockets. Not to mention a baby doll grenade that attracted all vampires (we told you this game was awesome) that made us laugh. Each character also has a melee weapon(s) that allowed for some devastating close combat.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ESo rest assured, we here at VGPC are quite excited for both the mysteriously missing Wii version and the playable Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. And after talking to the High Voltage guys for almost an hour, we can attest to their commitment.
