Well, what can I say other than...that's great.
In general, people should be more different than equal in this regard, imo. What PSP game you think looks great?
To me, PSP king is MH3rd, but also I'm a big fan of these games here + more
| VicViper said: Ni No Kuni sales probably made them change platforms... this was Wii U or PS3 before, no doubt about it... don't trust screenshots, watch the video, it was not possible even on vita, imo. Until proved they changed platforms, the HD version still exists imo. Or it can be just like Ni No Kuni... PS3 + 3DS all announced/released before the system completes 2 years (way before, actually). |
wow!
Respect.
Too bad those are declining series of total flops
Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here?

I guess you meant "or".
What more do you want from them?
They have fan-favorites there (because declining or not, they still sell well - Layton was the best selling launch game and Inazuma launched earlier in the lifetime of the system and the system for the first time and had "only" 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and Monster Hunter as competitors). All of them still maintaining a high level of quality - have you seen Layton's newest trailer - superb
They have a new very high quality project featuring two beloved characters that will sell quite a lot - and not only that, be quite a game.
They have new IPs - including high profile ones like this and fantasy life, made along Brownie Brown.
They have small games - experimental, cheap and by big names in japan industry - Suda, Yasumi Matsuda, Inafume... to name a few.
They have remakes (1,2,3) and upgraded versions (LBX - that really is making a huge impact in sales charts). This last one a big new franchise for the first time on a nintendo system - plus almost guaranteed updated sequel.
What you suggest, they close doors and abandon their franchises and stop producing new ones?
May not be the support you want, but I think this is one the best third support I have ever seen, honestly, in less than the first two years of the system. To me it's almost unbeliavable. Only Capcom on dreamcast gets close to this (or is better, because it was unbelieable too).

Yeah I meant or, why do you ask that? or is on my post :P.
They have their fan favorites IP on 3DS but those are declining with every iteration, fan favorites of not that is true, wouldn't you agree?
How is Fantasy Life high profile?, it looks great in my opnion but I wouldn't call it high profile, I hope I'm wrong but I don't see Fantasy Life being a success.
How many more failures can Level-5 take? They are in a bad position you like it or not. I like Level-5 support, where did I said that I don't? Whether I like their 3DS support or not my post is still accurate.

1 - No it's not... I changed it :P
"Of" completely changes the meaning of your sentence.
2 - They are in a bad position on the 3DS? Yet they're releasing 14 (18 with guilds) games for it? Are you serious? Their two great flops came from other systems... Gundam Age and Ni No Kuni... They can't take anymore? How do you know - teh internetz? - level 5 is not public, so we have no idea about their financial numbers. Anybody being fired there that I missed? It's strange that a company is doing so bad yet they're releasing so many games on one system + some more games on other systems AND venturing on other medias, like Layton Movies and the anime of his game right here... I guess a lot of companies would like to be in this "bad"situation, especially moderately small companies like Level 5.
3 - I agree their 2 main series is in decline - yet I gave reasons to see those numbers through a different angle, the situation can be a little relative or better explained. 1 more reason, 3DS is not the DS. Another reason, Inazuma is growing in the west, not declining. And more, they're creating those new ips to cover that decline. They just can't abandon Layton or Inazuma, because they still sell, and sell quite well!

1. pff sorry hahahaha :P
2. They are in bad position in general because almost everything they are releasing is underperforming: TT (in three platforms), Guid01, Girl RPG, Ni no Kuni, Gundam, IE (we'll se this year I guess), the next LB is probably going to underperform too. The only recent success that I can think of is LB on 3DS and maybe IE on Wii, I'm not including Layton becasuse as you said it was a launch game. But what if they keep releasing flops? Will they be stuck with IE and Layton only? Will retailers order less copies because those are declining series? That sure will be great for Level-5, right?
3. Those new IP are far from covering the declines, even with EU numbers.

I added a few more things to my previous post.
Level 5 currently employs around 200 people. That's like nothing for such a frantic production and results. They lived before Layton and Inazuma, and they'll live after. What flops... Girls RPG - that game was made with change. Guild 01 the same... even Gundam Age was probably more financed by either Toei or Bandai. Ni No Kuni is the only real mega flop here, but if that is the same as doom, Rockstar would be dead after Max Payne.
They have tons of money, great Ips, great talent... stop dooming them without evidence. No single company in bad shape would have this work power as they have. And the 3DS is what they're aiming most their shots , which is probably for a reason.

Saying that their main franchises are declining and that their new IP's are flopping is the same as dooming them? I think not
