Different from Level-5 Vision, Level-5 World is a two day event that's open to press and public alike. Level-5 has bought out space at Tokyo Big Site on October 15 and October 16 for the free event.

Level-5 Vision will be held as part of Level-5 World on October 15. Level-5 will be announcing over ten games, including new titles.

No L5 Vision this month and L5 will only have a small presence at TGS.

 

[Fantastical]

I need to see more from this company. Their 3DS games look amazing, but I'm afraid we'll never get Fantasy Life (North America).

Interested in what they are cooking up for Vita as well.

 

[Truth101]

Please let there be more Fantasy Life footage.

 

[Busaiku]

I want dates over more announcements at this point.

 

[ULTROS!]

Aren't they announcing too many games at this point?

 

[Takao]

Announce 5 Vita games I won't see until 2016 alreadyyyyyyy

 

[goober]

Localize Layton and everything else!

 

[Defuser]

*Announce 10 over titles*

*2 actually seen the light of the day*

 

[Perfect Blue]

I'll be fucking pissed if Matsuno's game isn't there.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

 

[Kerrby]

Hooooleeey shiiieeett 10 new games?

That's more than an E3 press conference haha.

 

[Takao]

I'll be fucking pissed if Matsuno's game isn't there.

Matsuno has been with the company for like 3 months, lol. Unless he's making a Droid game expect nothing.

 

[Forkball]

How do they have so much money? That DQ money can only ho so far.

 

[Nix]

Man, these guys are steadily climbing up my list of awesome. Just try and localize some of that awesome okay?

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Akihiro Hino takes one more step towards world domination.

 

[Drkirby]

How do they have so much money? That DQ money can only ho so far.

Layton Series. All about the Merchandising.

 

[Erethian]

Layton has done really well, and Inazuma Eleven was the first new RPG series to sell a million copies in a long time.

 

[Thoraxes]

C'mon Layton X Wright for America, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon...

 

[Jeels]

Layton Series. All about the Merchandising.

Where can I get this?

 

[shwimpy]

More Ninokuni PS3 footage!

 

[Drkirby]

Where can I get this?

Japan. Or, if you want a better answer, you can get it from a site called Hobby Link Japan. Isn't even that much, though I think they have a bit of an odd paying method.

[watershed]

Earlier I was predicting Level 5 would announce 3 vita titles, might have to bump that number to 5 now that they are gonna show 10 new titles. I'm guessing 5 vita, 2 ps3, 1 psp, 1 wii, and 1 3ds.

 

[bernardobri]

[Slime]

HAH

I have a feeling that after being under Sony's wing for so long, they've decided they never want to go back. Ninokuni and Danbōru Senki will go the way of Ushiro, and we'll get five more Professor Layton games. Fact.

VITA AM DOOOOOOMED

Edit: Danbōru Senki came out in June? IMPORTING

 

[Perfect Blue]

Matsuno has been with the company for like 3 months, lol. Unless he's making a Droid game expect nothing.

Well with that attitude we won't get anything.

A number of those 10 titles are going to be ROID games, without doubt.

 

[watershed]

aw damn, I forgot about mobile. Okay fine, 5 vita titles, no psp title, 1 psp, no wii, no 3ds, the rest ROID.

 

[iavi]

If I even get hints at what Matsuno is up to, I'll be content. Feed me what I need, Level-5.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

They really need to focus on releasing the games they have already announced.

Anyway, I think they'll show a new Layton game. Maybe Ni no Kuni for the Vita? Marvel vs Layton? A wacky RPG where dogs rap? I don't know. Every new thing they announce just seems less and less likely to see release before the heat death of the universe.

 

[Takao]

aw damn, I forgot about mobile. Okay fine, 5 vita titles, no psp title, 1 psp, no wii, no 3ds, the rest ROID.

To be fair, back in January Hino said they had like 20 games to announce.

But be aware, if a game hasn't been shown off for a while Level-5 will "announce" it again.

 

[Busaiku]

All Dark Cloud sequels.

 

[Foffy]

Fun fact: Brownie Brown, a Nintendo first-party studio, is helping with development. And because it's not one of their major studios, I think you're absolutely correct. ;___;

 

[Erethian]

That too.

And have they given any indication as to whether they have Vita games in development? I'm sure there's something, but they didn't exactly make a great many PSP games.

I doubt we'll even get London Life in The Last Specter.

 

[Penguin nerd]

More Ninokuni PS3 footage!

We've gone way too long without seeing this. I still hope that one day that game will see the light of day in the US.

 

[Foffy]

I doubt we'll even get London Life in The Last Specter.

Yeah...;____;

 

[Replicant]

Ni no Kuni PS3 for the west or bust!

 

[Slime]

That too.

Just an "I'd love to" statement, from last month no less. I doubt he has anything in the pipeline. Hell, just a few months ago he sounded more critical than supportive.

 

[Takao]

Both Hino, and the director of former PSP title Ushiro The Time Travelers were very giddy over the platform. So I imagine they'll have something cooking, especially since they plan on releasing Cardboard Senki in the US, and they definitely can't do that on PSP.

They do have devkits.

I'd love to know what Hino said but that link is all Japanese, care to summarize?

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I hope they bring back Ushiro, that looked/sounded so good.

I was thinking more a, "We have X number of games in development."

Dev quotes before a hardware launch don't amount to much of anything.

 

[Takao]

I'm not sure if this is the same interview, but:

Akihiro Hino (Level-5)

The big point of the system is its network functionality, Hino believes. The NGP will make buying games via the internet a more mainstream activity. On the gameplay front, there could be the possibility of all games needing to have internet compatibility.

On price, he expects ¥29,800, but hopes that Sony will keep the 3DS in mind and release the system in the lower ¥20,000 range.

Jiro Ishii (Level-5, Time Travelers director)

Ishii said he's personally excited about the "grab" style control possibilities offered by having touch panels on both sides of the system. He said that using the system's 3G and other network features, he'd like to make an adventure game that is downloadable cheaply on a weekly basis in similar fashion to renting a video.

He believes that the system could accelerate the movement away from consoles and thinks things could get interesting if the NGP is accepted overseas in such a way. On price, his hope is that it comes out for around ¥25,000.

This was back when Famitsu ran a story about the Japanese games industry reacting to the NGP announcement. You can read the entire translated article on AndriaSang. Hino got more positive with the price announcement, lol.

I was thinking more a, "We have X number of games in development."

Dev quotes before a hardware launch don't amount to much of anything.

Outside of SEGA, and Ubisoft I don't believe any publisher has said "We have XYZ amount of Vita games in development for this time frame".

 

[GhaleonQ]

Bone zone.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Last year was all about the 3DS.

I wonder if they're reconsidering that this year. Or maybe they're reconsidering the reconsideration.

They take so long to release games that I'm not sure whether it matters.

Inazuma Eleven GO is coming out in the holidays, but I've no idea about their other 3DS stuff.

Cinderella Life is also 2011, IIRC. Layton/Wright, Fantasy Life, and Time Travelers have all been MIA since last year's event, though.

 

[Codeblue]

Sounds good, Level-5 is great. If they can date Layton X Ace Attorney or Time Travelers, I'll be happy.

Disappointment imminent.

 

[ReaperXL7]

More Ninokuni PS3 footage!

This please times 1000, I really cannot wait to see more of this. Part of me is praying for a 2012 release but, i'm almost positive that is not going to happen. The only way it would is if the new US branch is localizing the game as we speak, which could be possible but i'm not going to hold my breath.

Just can't wait to get my hands on this.
