| Soriku said: Level 5 isn't 2nd party. They just have some 2nd party games for Sony (Dark Cloud, Rogue Galaxy, WKS). They're third party. That's why they made Inazuma Eleven (for the DS, and they're also making a console one, no doubt it'll be for the Wii), Professor Layton (they're making another one right now IIRC, of course for the DS), and are making DQ IX for the DS. |
...2nd party means Sony is their publisher exclusively, but Sony doesn't technically own them. That's it. Level 5 is effectively a 2nd party developer for Sony. Factor 5, as an example, isn't, because they've done exclusives for both Sony and Nintendo. I don't believe Level 5 has ever made an exclusive for anyone but Sony.
edit: ...oh yeah, I forgot about that "Professor Layton" DS game.
