Level-5 Premieres Multiple Trailers For Its Upcoming Switch Games

Don’t know if I’m being to over optimistic but will they reveal yo-Kai watch?
(Also level-5 direct?)

Damn! The sudden surge of Switch releases and announcements made me forget about Level-5 stuff. I so want Fantasy Life i and Decapolis to be good.

I just wish they would localize the yokai watch games, I like them too ):

Wait, today?! 😯
I will watch the presentation.

Hopefully with a release date for Fantasy Life!

Really hope we get a British dub of Inazuma Eleven again, it’s so much more fun than the US one. Even if they say it like Innerzoomer Eleven.

It's about time we get something for Fantasy Life!

I wonder if DekaPolice will be any good...?
Hopefully not turn based.

DecaPolice has me interested. After playing Astral Chain, I love the idea of more "sci-fi cop" games!

I want to see more Decapolice & Professor Layton so bad.

Fingers crossed they show a trailer of Fantasy Life i that makes it stand out, or give it some unique identity. The original was one of my favorite 3DS RPGs, so I’m hoping this one lives up to it.

Looking forward to more fantasy life info. Seriously this is a great year for gaming.

At least we know there will be layton news at TGS next week

Why nobody mentions Dark Chronicle- that’s their best game- why don’t they port it to Switch?!!!!!

Very interested to see more of the new Fantasy Life and Decapolice.

@Znake because it's a Sony's IP :/

Well at least I can just skim the picture of the characters and decide it's not for me. Quick and efficient.

But where is HE?

Hoping the Fantasy Life announcement says "Available after this presentation"

Ni No Kuni 3 please? 🥹

All I want is True Fantasy Live Online...

And I would also really appreciate remasters of Dark Cloud 2 (/Chronicle) and Rogue Galaxy.

One can dream.

Honestly the lack of Level 5 in this week’s Direct was it’s only negative for me. So happy that they’re back and treating us to trailers later today. Everything on this list is a must buy for me.

Hey! Where is Ushiro!? I said it before, but I will say it again – the game is cancelled again, probably.

Good. Will be keeping my eye out for Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time.

Sadly I think all three games will fall into 2024 now, otherwise they would of been shown in the Nintendo Direct at some capacity. Hopefully all three games are successful and Level 5 can get back to their old self again with no financial issues, maybe then we will see Yo Kai Watch make a return and maybe even a new Ni No Kuni.

@Znake
I would say their best games are Rogue Galaxy and Ni No Kuni 1. I liked Dark chronicles back in the day though, it's good. Apparently it's Sony though so it's probably just lost.

That Dekapolice game looked really cool from what I can remember from the first trailer. I'd love to learn more about it.

@SilverM yeah that sucks. Wish Level 5 would make a new game that would be a true successor- the closest game to Dark Cloud was probably the first Ni No Kuni.

Finally! If I had seen more from Fantasy Life, Layton and Decapolice in the Nintendo Direct, it would have been way better in my opinion.
I see that Level 5 has now their own Direct, I guess that's a good thing!

Layton comming to Switch 2 ftw! 😂

All 3 of these games plus Professor Layton really interest me. Great lineup.

Well, they shadow dropped the trailers and didn't tell exact date to release. 😟
They will tell more information during TGS 21 - 24 September 2023.
Here is their schedule.

@Snatcher They are already localized, except for Yo-Kai Watch 4.

That is why it's so utterly disappointing as to why they didn't release the Yo-kai Watch 1 Switch port here in the west?! They already had all the localization files from the 3DS version.

Decapolice is one of my more anticipated games. I want it, now!

Just watched the three trailers they put up and all three games are looking really good and all three still apparently launching this year.

Ok, Fantasy Life i just became my most anticipated game right now. I freaking love it! And the prequel is my favorite 3DS game, so I'm even more excited.

Decapolice also looks pretty good, I'll keep an eye on it. It's Level 5 at its full potential. If it reviews well, it will be Day 1 as well.

@Jeronan Sorry that’s what I meant, I meant the ports for the switch which sucks, and they never localized blasters 2 or academy (as far as I know)

All 3 of these games look interesting, DecaPolice especially

@Tyranexx
The presentation from Level-5 will determine my decision to get Yokai Watch games I don't have yet.
If Level-5 still haven't reveal any possibility about English version of Yokai Watch games for Switch and other consoles, I will do my plan B by getting Yokai Watch 4++ and Yokai Watch Jam on PS4 version despite of being Japanese version.
I think I can handle those Japanese texts as I have ever played Yokai Watch 3 Tempura 3DS with all Japanese texts.
I'm sure I can finish the storyline of Yokai Watch 4++ and Yokai Watch Jam by following the marked point during the gameplay.

These all look really good! I can't remember if Inazuma Eleven was confirmed for the West.

I am most excited for Fantasy Life. I ADORED the game on 3DS and never thought we would get a Switch release for the series.

The Decagame Police looks intriguing as well.

I can't tell the game world enough how happy I am that Level-5 is back and releasing games in the West again. I hope people support their games, because I think they make unique experiences.

Still 2023 release window without any exact date for any of these.
With TGS coming next week, hopefully they will reveal release date there (+ info on Prof. Layton).
And as others have mentioned here: Hopefully they will talk about Yo-Kai Watch too!

@Jeronan I think that Nintendo did the localization of YW1 (And possibly 2 & 3) meaning that Level 5 couldn't just copy paste it. The integration of toys not released in the US would be a factor as well. Finally, the port did so poorly (<50k units) that I'm surprised Level 5 hasn't written it off.

Lets be real here, given Level 5's record, we won't see these in the west until 2025 at the latest.

@NatiaAdamo All three confirmed to release worldwide and all have 2023 release dates.

@UltimateOtaku91 for reals? That early? That seems like a bad decision to me. Space 'em out a bit.

Worldwide? That's awesome. I thought it would have been Japan only. I am interested in all 3!

@Cashews I thought the same so I double checked and all three games websites and trailers slate the games for 2023, it's great to see level 5 back but there's no need to rush all three games out this year, especially with the rest of this year being so jammed packed as it is. Take their time and make sure each game is as polished as possible as not to ruin their reputation and cause financial issues....again.

@UltimateOtaku91 SE did this the past few years. nothing and then just stacking them atop one another. These are three really potential games - and I'd probably get all 3 - but over 9-12 months not all stacked with a super busy Christmas.

Talented team but I think they aren't run very well at all.

thanks for the response

DECAPOLICE seems to be really cool. I don't typically play games like it, but I am really interested.

Give us a release date for fantasy life! If it’s out this year, must have an idea for release date surely?

Just watched the trailers and I'm really interested in Decapolice. It looks like it has a lot of potential and a lot of interesting ideas.

@Daniel36 Yea, it'd be nice to have Rogue Galaxy and the Dark Cloud series.. Never quite got to play those and they look pretty cool.

Fantasy Life looks cute and fun. Might check that out if it isn't too pricey.

@tekoii Dark Cloud 2 was a lot of fun, but I got distracted and never finished it. Rogue Galaxy is one of those games I somehow never bought, even though I knew it was a classic. So yeah, I would love to see it released again, so I can enjoy it too.

I played Fantasy Life so much with my then-partner in co-op. Bought the dlc twice for that. I was dressed like a carrot (in game, that is). Until today we still sometimes think back to that game, and hum the music of that tower in the dlc I think. We both god-tiered every job. So yeah, I'm keeping an eye on that one, and the other look great too.

Inazuma Eleven looks great, love the upgraded turn based system. Fantasy Life unfortunately doesn’t look as good as the original, which is still one of the best games ever in the genre. The new one looks more like a Snack World sequel.

I wonder if they'll release one each month starting October.
October - one game
November - one game
December - one game

Absolutely loved Fantasy Life for the 3DS and can't wait to sink another 150+ hours into a new one

@mlt Ni No Kuni was great. I hope Dekapolice will be another of their best games. Fingers crossed! Have you finished NNK2?

@Daniel36 Ahh.. I hear ya, I mean RPGs do take a long while to finish so I'd understand if you backlogged some. I've dropped off of a few games myself. Yea, that'd be nice.. It'd be great to experience them.. though backlogs do get crazy, eh?

Alongside the new Layton game, Decapolice is the one I have always been most interested in of the upcoming new Level-5 games, espcially since it initialy started as a spiritual sequel to Layton appearently.

@tekoii My backlog isn't even that crazy...

probably...

Oh who am I kidding. But as far as recent releases go, I am far into Octopath 2, have to start Triangle Strategy, ehhmmm...

Yeah, my backlog isn't small either...

But it's not even that I have so many games to play, it's more a question of having so very, very little time. I am at a new job and right now I'd be happy if I had an hour a day to myself, no exaggeration, and I have more hobbies besides gaming too.

Ah well, luxury issues.

These should have been in the Direct

@Daniel36 Lol... yea the backlog strikes back! I totally hear ya on the time thing, always seems like we need more hours in a day, eh? Nice congrats on the job.. Yea for sure, always nice to have hobbies other than gaming! We'll hack away at our backlogs in time..
