@Magician Are Level 5 struggling?* I know they closed down their American publishing office but their games do well in Japan which is where they are aimed for anyway and before that they seemed to be a company over preforming with unexpected international success.
*that's a genuine question rather than sass by the way.
@Magician yeah they are no longer the developer they were back in the 3DS day. Professor Layton, Inazuma Eleven and Yo Kai Watch have all lost their sparkle and new titles like Snack World did not pop in the West like the others did.
It's a shame as I really liked the Layton games and Ni no Kuni & Fantasy Life were great too. Ushiro sounded cool, I hope that is still coming as it was announcecd like 3 years ago.
@jump I really want level5 to localise Yo Kai 4 and the remake of the first game but we all know that Yo Kai watch was a bit of a flop in the west (I mean I ate all the merchandise up) so I don't see it happening
@Jackpaza0508 I wouldn't be shocked if Ninty picked it up for a Western release like how they recently did with A Train. They had a good working relationship with each other and Ninty published most of their game in the West before Level 5 set up an American branch.
I'm not fussed about Yo Kai myself, it never clicked with me the same way Pokemon did. I'm much more keen on remasters or return to the orginal style of Layton games rather than the collection of small mysteries the last Layton game was like, Ushiro and a new Fantasy Life.
@jump Ooh! A horror rpg? That sounds really interesting! However, I'm not gonna play it because I am a huge wimp and if I look at the genre of a game and I see the word horror, I run for the hills.
I'm having a difficult time getting into the crpg genre. Games such as Baldur's Gate and Planescape specifically. I guess "choice paralysis" is real problem for me. This particular subgenre of rpg gives me a borderline panic attack because of the degree of build diversity you're given. I'm used to rpgs that are more simplified, streamlined, and refined. It makes me leery about the arrival of Disco Elysium on Switch later this year.
Will I skip one of this generation's best games because I can't "git gud"?

Anyone else just getting sick of Smash? I'm not asking just for extreme reactions, I legitimately feel like even Sakurai is starting to get burnt out by the fans' incessant whining, despite his decent efforts to make this game as good as it can be. This whole DLC pack shouldn't have existed, and the only reason it does is because Sakurai had characters he had already wanted to put in, apart from the candidates submitted by Nintendo.
I do think he should try something new after he finishes the last fighter, the concern of course is that he gets so burnt out that he flat out retires on the spot. So @Magician, @FragRed, if he tries something new it'll act more as proof that Smash isn't his only avenue for good game design. I heard that Kid Icarus: Uprising was very good, but it's been almost ten years since.
And @Magician, I don't like them either, but Disco Elysium has this feeling... that it'll be something worth getting regardless of skill. I like reading and video games, and this blends both, with over a million words of script. I've neglected reading lately so this'll be the best thing for me.
@Giancarlothomaz a port wouldn't be possible because of the controls, but I would love to see a sequel, it would need rebalancing around a twin stick control scheme in terms of speed/accuracy but I pumped so many hours into KI:U and would love to see a continuation of the story. I loved the whole weapons farming/fusing model too.
