The release of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch came in the form of a standard edition and a special edition.
Wizard's Edition[]
Namco Bandai revealed that a special edition of the game shipped alongside the standard version, a promotion that was also available in North America and Europe. This "Wizard's Edition" was priced at $99.99 USD.
The Wizard's Edition came with a hardcover book called the Wizard's Companion, a physical copy of the in-game tome of the same name. Over 300 pages long, it contained a bestiary, spells, history, and more. The package also came with a plush doll of Drippy, exclusive DLC in the form of two golden familiars.
A North American exclusive "Kunistarter" launched a month before the pre-order deadline. Similar to a Kickstarter, it tracked the numbers of orders placed in order to unlock stretch goals. The campaign added a soundtrack sampler, a commemorative gold coin, and a set of special art prints.
Preorders were only available directly from Namco Bandai's site, clubNAMCO.
