It’s kind of unfair, really. Every single game of 2013 will have to compete with acclaimed Studio Ghibli composer Joe Hisaishi for best soundtrack awards because of his involvement with Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Hisaishi-san is responsible for some of the most fantastic movie soundtracks ever created, working with Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki on virtually every single one of his masterpieces. In part three of a series of behind the scenes videos, Joe Hisaishi describes how be brings his music creation process from films into a video game, and the difficulty (or in Hisaishi-san’s case, complete lack thereof) of doing so. Parts one and two of Namco Bandai’s behind the scenes look at Ni no Kuni can be viewed here, while part three can be viewed after the jump. Ni no Kuni arrives exclusive on PlayStation 3 on January 22nd, that day can’t arrive soon enough.
I've been gaming since my dad made the bad decision of buying me a Nintendo when I was four years old. Every day I'd find myself with my face glued to a TV screen, punching away at buttons, getting furious with Bowser, Dr. Wily, and those freakin' birds in Ninja Gaiden. Since then I have failed to get my parents to play any board game with me, I sold my full copy of Earthbound with box and guide for $300 to some dude in Austria for rent money, and I still believe in Nintendo even after all these years.
