Things have been a bit quiet on the upcoming Layton vs. game. While there is nothing new to report, Level-5's American offices are running, and on their website, they have a profile page for the currently Japanese only-slated game. http://level5ia.com/product/layton-vs-a ... velopment/ silicon era wrote: A few months back, we reported that Level had opened an office in Santa Monica, and that they would be developing games targeted specifically for the American audience. However, Level 5 president, Akihiro Hino, says that they also plan to bring games over from Japan: Video Message This message is part of Level 5’s newly launched American website. You can view pictures of the office, find links to their Twitter and Facebook pages, and read a little introduction about the history of the company at the link. In recent times, the only Level 5 games that have been consistently published overseas by the same company are the Professor Layton games, which are published by Nintendo in the U.S. and Europe. Nintendo of Europe also published the very first Inazuma Eleven on Nintendo DS. http://www.siliconera.com/2011/07/25/a-message-from-level-5-president-akihiro-hino-to-overseas-fans/ |

It's a nice message, and it's encouraging to see Layton vs. AA on their site, but if I may play devil's advocate I wouldn't call it any sort of localization confirmation; they've got some clearly JP-only products under "history" as well. |

Oh, I have no doubt that we'll get PLvsAA eventually; it would be a downright retarded move to not release it overseas. The question is, will it be localized before or after Miraculous Mask? Probably after since the MM is actually, you know, finished. On a Level-5 related note, I want Dragon Quest X soon. Preferably for the Wii. It felt like while DQIX had potential to become the best game in the franchise, it was held back by the fact that it's on the DS. |

Excuse my ignorance, but what does Level 5 have anything to do with Dragon Quest? Isn't that Square Enix's ground? @_@ |

Square Enix would be considered a 3rd-party developer, since they don't produce the consoles on which you play their games. Dragon Quest would be a 3rd-party title either way. Also companies contract other companies all the time to do work for them. But this is good news. I was under the impression that the San Diego offices wouldn't be used for localizing their Japanese titles, since that's what Kotaku said. |

So... would that make Level-5, in the case of Dragon Quest, a 4th party developer? |

Time Travellers could be neat, but I'd like to see some more about it. And while I'm sure Ni no Kuni is amazing... I have to show my PLvsAA support. I'm sorry Studio Ghibli, after Megaman Legends 3 I can't run the risk of another "take my money" game getting axed due to low fan demand. (As an aside, I'm really not convinced Legends 3 will be making a comeback.) |

We probably should all mosey down to the poll for a good voting. It's nice to see a move like this, was properly concerned about the game and while it's no confirmation it's a great step towards it. |

And with the 3DS price cut, all those 3DS titles except the waitress RPG, plus MML3, suddenly seem more possible than ever. The real, actual 3DS launch will be August 12. Everyone who voted for Ninokuni on PS3 instead of DS should think a bit more straight: the DS version has been out in Japan for months, the PS3 version doesn't even have a Japanese release date. Besides, the DS is dying and needs to go with a bang like Ninokuni, while the PS3 still has life in it. |

It'll be around 30% off, which is crazy considering it just came out and I bought my DS Lite for more than that. American, it'll be around $170ish. |
