Siliconera: "A few months back, we reported that Level had opened an office in Santa Monica, and that they would be developing games targeted specifically for the American audience. However, Level 5 president, Akihiro Hino, says that they also plan to bring games over from Japan."
Level-5 will be hosting the second Vision 2023 event this year on November 29 at 21:00 JST.
Right there with ya. Hope to hear anything about a ni no kuni non mobile game. Please level 5 i beg
Would love a Ni No Kuni 3 or whatever they want to call it. But like you said I want nothing to do with mobile and I am hoping for a console game. Also interested in other games they have to offer on console. I also saw you are playing Star Ocean remake on universal difficulty and I’m doing the same and near the end. Messing around in Fun City atm to try and delay the end a bit hehe. Such a great game
Quite prolific, looking at the anticipated lineup. Decapolice has been on my radar.
For the love of God, Dark Cloud 3 before I shuffle off the mortal coil, please
Level-5, the studio behind the Ni No Kuni and Yo-Kai Watch franchises, stopped operating outside of Japan as their North American business closed as it scaled back in late 2020.
Level 5's business model is to make a hit TV show and then milk it.
Nice when it works, but not so good when they can't make a hit TV show.
Awesome news! Level 5 made so many great games: Dark Cloud 1 & 2, Rogue Galaxy, Dragon Quest VIII, Ni No Kuni, etc. I can't wait to see what games they make next.
Jacob S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "While we here at Link Cable Gaming are holding hope that these claims aren’t to be true, we thought that now would be the perfect time to look over the company’s work and take a moment to see which ten Level-5 games best celebrate the company as a whole."
Ni no Kuni 2 imo is the bottom of my list for top Level 5 games.
Dark Cloud 1/2
Dragon Quest VIII
Rogue Galaxy,
White Knight Chronicles
Ni no Kuni
Pro Layton series
Please just no shooter's just give me Japanese RPgs and i'm good.
I just want Ni no Kuni.
He's actually saying that they will be making games JUST for the United States, in addition to bringing over Japanese games.
Basically, it's more of this, "Western gamers hate Japanese games" bigotry, which more and more Japanese developers seem to have bought in to due to its perpetuation by... the Western gaming press.
*sigh*
Oh well. Here's hoping Akihiro's Gundam Age ends up being a success. There's a game-tie-in that might actually be really cool, particularly if (as the rumors go) it's a cross between True Odyssey (MS Saga) and climax U.C.
Where the hell did the Japanese get the idea that we need western games from JAPANESE developers? They cry about why their games are not selling, but they are completely confused about what gamers really want. If only they had continued making relevant games and bring them over America, Japanese developers wouldn't be in this situation.
The first example I have is Final Fantasy XIII and SE Including the song from Leona Lewis. Then..well actually first, they tried to appeal western gamers by supporting the 360 too much, thinking that they will succeed in this market, and they somehow started thinking that we want western games from japanese developers, so they bought Eidos.
Nintendo of America refuses to bring the 3 most requested Japanese games to America, and then they ask why Japanese developers are so confused about the market and what gamers want.
Now Level 5 is doing the same thing. If western gamers wanted western games, we would get them from western developers. If what we want is JAPANESE RPGS we would buy them, but sadly, they aren't so many any more because of this wrong ideology that Japanese devs are believing in. It is really a shame.
Where's Dark Cloud 3? People's been asking for this game for AGES now!
