3DS version of Ni No Kuni could be on the cards

Hopes of a Western release for a 3DS version of Ni No Kuni have been resurrected.

The game enjoyed tremendous critical success upon its European PS3 release in January, but it actually debuted as a DS title in Japan back in 2010.

Now Pocket Gamer reports that an un-named Namco Publisher executive has apparently claimed that the publisher is not opposed” to the idea of reworking the game for a release on Nintendo’s latest handheld.

The question now is whether a 3DS version would be based on the DS code or instead on the more modern and technically advanced PS3 SKU.
