Level-5 Reveals Five New Games

  • Ninokuni: The Another World (Nintendo DS, with an port to an unspecified console also planned) is an RPG starring a 13-year-old boy who's invited into a magical fantasy land by a spirit, a world eerily close to Earth that's under the rule of a dark sorcerer. There he hopes to deal with the issues that haunt his life, not the least of which being that he was responsible for his mother's passing not long ago. This project is no doubt the biggest announcement of the day, mainly thanks to one small detail: Studio Ghibli, Japan's most famous animation studio, is working on Ninokuni's animated sequences, the first time the company has ever provided original work for a video game.

     

  • Danboru Senki (PSP) is a build-and-fight RPG with more than a passing resemblance to Nintendo's Custom Robo series. In the game world, people build and customize small battle robots called LBXes, then duke it out with friends in special miniature battlefields made from cardboard reinforced to weather combat damage (the game's title literally means "Cardboard War Machines" in Japanese). You'll take up the role of a new hobbyist in the field, searching for rare parts and trying to become the best robo-fighter in town.

     

  • Inazuma Eleven 2 (Nintendo DS) is the sequel to the Level-5-produced soccer RPG that just came out in Japan last month. Once again, you'll be leading a middle-school soccer team as they try to save the world from a new, alien soccer menace. Seriously. As before, it's equal parts JRPG exploration and fast-action soccer sim.

     

  • Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel (Nintendo DS) is the third game in the Layton series, one with the usual full new set of puzzles and characters. The Professor receives a strange letter one day claiming to be from his assistant Luke ten years in the future. Tracking its source down leads to a scientist creating a new, working time machine, one that sadly goes haywire and throws the Prime Minister of England and his wife into some unknown spot in time-space. Can Layton rearrange matchsticks and stuff quickly enough to save them?

     

  • Ushiro (PSP) is a first for Level-5 -- a horror RPG. You play Reiichiro Ushiro, a newly-minted shinigami spirit who has the power to give people near the brink of death a single wish in exchange for their lives. Whether listening in on conversations in spirit mode, possessing the living to do your bidding, or fighting personifications of the evil in man's heart, you can be sure that being a not-so-friendly ghost is nothing if not hectic.

Something for everyone. Cool.

I don't see anything, Jeanne D' Arc 2??? Professor Layton 4? Inazuma Eleven 2?

EDIT: I saw it, I was right about Inazuma Eleven 2... PERFECT

About the new titles:

-Ninokuni starts on the DS, but they will do a console version with something different, i guess that it will end on the Wii, unless the PS3 picks up real fast... Studio Ghibli!!!!! EXCELENT CHOICE...

-Cardboard Senki has some potential with the cardboard and the upgradable robot, is for the PSP

-Ushiro, HORROR RPG!!! Nice, also for the PSP

Damn you Level-5!!! you are draining my wallet with all these games... at least most of them are portable...

Studio Ghibli is doing the animation? Thats bloody awesome!



The Fury on 24 September 2008

...Okay first, I'm all for love of the handhelds but I'd prefer some console games. Although the carboard thing sounds cute.

2nd, I've no idea who Studio Ghibli are, enlighten me people.



Hmm, pie.

They are a famous animation studio that belongs to Hayao Miyazaki.

 

These new Level 5 games look interesting.  I wonder if I will be able to get all four of them though

In our western world they are famous for being the makers of Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi, or better known as "Spirited Away"... It's a great animation but i like their previous work better, like Castle in the Sky or Kiki's Delivery Service, they have tons of work and most of it are brilliant...

I really hope all these games get a US or Eur release



lilwingman on 24 September 2008

Bahhhh, even though I hate handheld gaming, one of these days I'm going to have to buy a DS or PSP. Good to see some more RPG's appearing on the PSP though!



It's all about the game.

Sorry if I am being anal, but isn;t this five games? 3 on DS and 2 on PSP, rather than 2 on both?

 



Just kiss the tip.
