Round Up: Everything Announced At The Level-5 Vision 2023 November Showcase

Ok, I'll admit I may be wearing a tin foil hat here, but much like Nintendo suggesting Ubisoft delay Mario Rabbids 2 for the next console, could all these delays be of a similar 'strategic reason'?

Gah, I better take this silly hat off...

What happened to Ushiro!? I'm mentioning this game for years! On NL, I keep mentioning this game since 2021, and, it seems like I'm the only one who knows about the existence of this game! Why Level-5 can't cancel it?! They're toying with this corpse of a game for years! It's annoying! Ushiro didn't deserved a horrible fate like this! Ushiro looks and sounds like a good and interesting game. This game is a hybrid of horror and RPG. Sounds interesting and unique, imo.

That door puzzle in Layton was super weird

I hope Ushiro isn't dead again

@parttimegamer Wow! I'm not the only one, after all.

No Yo-Kai Watch? Snooooore…wake me up when YKW4 finally comes to the West…

Deca police is by far the only game I'm excited for. I would be interested in fantasy life, but I played the original 3DS title and found it to be pretty bland. The animal crossing elements don't get me excited, as someone who isn't into animal crossing. I want to play professor Layton, but will find a way to start from the beginning before the new ones.

@John_Deacon At this point, Metroid Prime 4 2030

I saw a lot of delays, don't think I've seen a company announce so many delays in one go before. Pretty obvious they are taking on too much work at once and spreading their teams too thin. They would of been better off focusing on 1-2 games at a time.

I should be able to vote for layton and decapolice. Both are looking awesome

I am so excited for all these games!! It sucks that Professor Layton isn't coming until 2025 but I'll still be there to support it day one. I waited this long for it to come back and I can wait a little longer.

Honestly, a simple sequel to Fanatsy Life and I’ll be happy. They don’t need to reinvent the wheel.

@BenAV Yeah I can understand that but at the same time they aren't massive in staff size, they have 300 employees spread across 6 games. I think they announced them really early just to let people know they are back and in a big way.

@sForzan we most likely won’t be getting Yokai watch 4 in the west. Game requires them to translate a lot of materials, and it wouldn’t sell well.

Still hopelessly hoping for a Jeanne d'Arc re-release

Hmm first time learning of DECAPOLICE, colour me intrigued.

I’m probably overthinking this, but saying they have a release date for Fantasy Life i, then choosing not to share it for “strategic reasons” seems like they want the game to be a launch title for the Switch 2 or whatever it is.

If they had a remake planned, you’d think they would’ve announced it here. So… Fantasy Life i at the Switch 2 launch? I gotta stop speculating haha.

@UltimateOtaku91 A delayed game is only temporary but a rushed game is forever bad.

I’ve waited a decade for a sequel to Fantasy Life. I can wait a few more months.

The Layton trailer wasn't much of a trailer, just showing a puzzle. Odd to see L+L in the foreground during gameplay. Seeing Layton is supposed to be a big treat basically, it's so rare to see him in the actual gameplay. Exciting in Layton 4. The puzzle solved animation wasn't great either. Whatever, it'll be miles ahead of 5 and the Katrielle rubbish.

@GrailUK It's not going to be Switch 2 exclusive, at most it'll be cross-gen.

It's disappointimg, to see the next Layton game, isn't coming out until 2025.

@LilyGoMEOW What else do you know hmm? TELL US!!!

Is that last bit a teaser for Yo-kai Watch 5? It looks like it might be…

Maybe that game will finally give Level-5 an excuse to translate 4 into English.

Where is Ni No Kuni 🥲

@GrailUK I’ve gotta take that tin foil hat off too… strategic reasons sounds like late summer launch for Switch 2 may be in the works and they plan to coincide with the launch.

@Wilforce Shhh, they may be watching...

@Altaria_97 Yes, I suspect Fantasy Life will be a Switch 2 launch title.

I really hope they do a Professor Layton Collection in the same graphical details as the new game. I am pretty sure the graphics on the DS/3DS games are scalable.

The only game on that entire list I am even remotely interested in is DECAPOLICE. I don't really have any reason to want to play the others.

Shame about Layton and Decapolice being 2025, I have no choice but to wait patiently for them.

Musashi looks interesting but I'll wait to see a bit more before determining if it is spend-worthy.

Some interesting titles all around. Hopefully everything is mostly set in stone so we can try these out eventually

Fantasy Life, Decapolice and Layton look SO GOOD. I can't wait for those!

They need to work out a way to remaster the old Layton games. I know it'd be a bit of a pain due to the dual/touch screen nature of the originals but I reckon they'd move a ton of units if they put the effort in.

Professor Layton and DecaPolice are the two that got my interest.

Horrible. For all the promises made, to have 0 games come out in 2023, and Layton to move to 2025 after being on the Showcase, just terrible. Not impressed at all.
