I couldn't find the answer on the web and I don't know enough about Level 5 Inc, to know if they would do a port. I see they have been doing Sony / Nintendo development only pretty much. There's not a lot on them here on the site, which makes me sad.
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Nov 17, 2011
A role-playing game developed by Level-5 and animated sequences produced by Studio Ghibli Inc.
360 version?
yup, there are currently no plans for a 360 version.
On the positive side, it will probably receive huge sales and that's the best incentive to port over a game as there will ever be.

God I hope so, this trailer makes me want to find my copy of My Neighbor Totoro and watch it right away!
You're wrong and you're right. The PS3 game sold pretty poorly in Japan, and Level 5 are banking on a good international release to see whether to release a sequel or not. It's not inconceivable that they'd go multiplat if they were desperate for some numbers from the US/UK market.yup, there are currently no plans for a 360 version.

@UnlivedPhalanx:
If you haven't seen My Neighbor Totoro I advise that you do it's a great film and an even better introduction to studio Ghibli films.

Level 5 and Microsoft have a bad relationship after that MMO they were doing on the og Xbox. I wouldn't expect it
What MMO?
True Fantasy Live Online. We have a very bare-bones wiki page on it here on Giant Bomb, actually, but I imagine you're probably better served with some video footage of it. The reason behind its cancellation is pretty widely believed to be related to corporate politics on Microsoft's end and since the project started in the really early days of Microsoft trying to court Japanese development talent, it's not surprising that trouble arose, especially for a game being developed on an online platform that Microsoft likes to control as much as possible. I hadn't even considered that it might be a reason why there is no 360 version of Ni no Kuni, but it sounds like they got burned pretty badly by the experience, so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it had something to do with that. It also probably doesn't hurt that Sony provided some marketing support and console bundles for the game in Japan, though.

I wonder how much of TFLO became Dragon Quest IX...

Seems unlikely, but stranger things have happened before.
Thanks true, in a world where Duke Nukem Forever came out and sold for $60.
