Level-5 announced The Snack World, its fourth cross-media project following Inazuma Eleven, The Little Battlers eXperience, and Yo-Kai Watch, during its Level-5 Vision press conference today.  

The Snack World will encompass a 3DS, iOS, and Android game, full CG TV anime, manga, Takara Tomy toy line, and nationwide movie release.

The toy line will consist of miniature key chain-like items called “Jara,” which will link with the 3DS and smartphone games using NFC technology. Touching the item to the screen of a New 3DS, for example, will make the item available in the game. The same items are carried on the waist by the franchise’s hero and transform into his weapons and shields.

The project is being marketed as a “hyper casual fantasy” and looks reminiscent of Dragon Quest and Fantasy Life.
