The newest professor Layton game has been announced for 3DS as well as smartphones
Level-5 has offered specific details of Level-5 Vision 2015: The Beginning, an annual event ara present news in games and other multimedia industries.
Not many games I would rather have than Dark Cloud 3.
However, even if Level5 was making it, there is almost no chance it would be first announced at a small event like this, but would wait for either a Sony conference or E3.
Also, there is a real chance that if Dark Cloud 3 did get made, someone else would make it (maybe a Sony first party).
Yes can't wait to see more about Fantasy Life 2.
Really enjoying the first Fantasy Life for what it is.
It's the most Dragon Quest 9-ish type game I've played since Dragon Quest 9.
Dark Cloud could be cool....Never played any of them.
Yokai Watch 3
Fantasy Life 2
Layton 7
Level-5 truly love the 3DS!
Maybe the have a Wii U game in collaboration with Nintendo
like Pokemon x Yokai Watch or Pokemon x Ni No Kuni
Today Level 5 held its annual “Level 5 Vision” conference, traditionally home to new announcements and new games, but if you’re a hardcore JRPG fan, you may want to sit down point a fan at your face before you get a conniption.
Yeah, don't we all wish...
We can very well mourn the death of Level 5 as a relevant JRPG developer.
I wouldn't be so harsh. Ni No Kuni is still one of the best JRPGs this gen, but I admit I don't like how they're favoring mobile gaming or other lame franchises. I use to like Layton games, but now I'm really tired seing a game every year. Enough !
@ShugaCane: I perfectly agree that Ni No Kuni is one of the best JRPGs this gen, the problem is that there's nothing like it in sight. Ni No Kuni was released years ago.
You're right ! I would love to see another DQ VIII or Rogue Galaxy, quality-wise. Those games were dope.
Unfortunately being one of the best jrpgs in this generation means very little. This decline is depressing. Maybe square will go bankrupt again and have a new ip be their final hope and it will actually turn out to be amazing. Then the cycle will repeat. Or maybe the warriors of light closed the loop once and for all. I apologize for the obscure and corny reference.
@abriel are you serious? Ni no kuni was released earlier this year! How is that years ago. Level 5 is doing fine imo and to try and down play them by saying on the best jrps by them was released years ago, when it was only early 2013 is absurd.
I really hope that Wonder Flick isn't that game they teased for Ps4 back in April. Ni no Kuni is so good! If they give the port as much production value that they gave to porting Ni no Kuni DS to Ps3 I'll be happy again but idk.... Guess there's always Project Phoenix lol
I want a Dark Cloud 3 soooo bad. I wish Sony would at least give me an hd bundle of the first 2... something. Ni No Kuni was fantastic, but Dark Cloud is unlike anything made. Even Rogue Galaxy, while great was just like a Dark Cloud tease.
It's a shame that this leaning towards mobile and free to play is happening within bigger developers in the industry. Am still kind of hoping when Shahid Kamal FINALLY announces this so called huge RPG that will have us playing for hours that it's by Level 5. I don't even feel we can really trust Squeenix any more, though FF XV does look like they may finally get some of their magic back, even if it's not a traditional RPG.
Level-5 announced a new Layton game during its "Vision" event in Japan just a short while ago.
Anyone else miss the days when level 5 wasn't a bunch of sell outs like capcom (milking monster hunter on nintendo systems with barely any improvements since the ps2 original) and made dark cloud? Those were some amazing RPGs and I feel like they could have only expanded the freedom further with the new systems.
beside Ni No Kuni all their console releases have been major flops. And if this makes them money then it makes sense why they are doing it.
"Level-5 shared, the Professor Layton series has been the most successful in sales, and has sold a total of 15 million copies across the globe.Ni no Kuni sales for the PS3 and Nintendo DS version (Japan-only) reached 1.4 million sales worldwide."

Layton makes killer money. There's a reason they've made so many while their best series has been put to rest. It costs less to make Layton and it might sell more.
Ultimately a company needs to generate money in order to make those cool niche titles that a lot of us enjoy. So while I can understand your point, you need to look at things from a perspective of a company and not just a fan that wants a certain type of game.
The other choice is that they only make those niche games we all love, but don't sell well and be in risk of going under or getting brought. I would rather them making money than going under like THQ did resulting in no Darksiders 3 for us or getting brought like Bioware did resulting in several missteps on their part.
I get what you are saying, but the reality is that these companies need to make money.
They made Dragon Quest 9 though and that game is freaking amazing so I forgive them. lol
I'm not into the layton series, although I really like it's art style.
I hope insomniac recovers with their new game and doesn't succumb to a similar fate.
looks like it's made for western audience what i thought looking at the first artwork
It has not been announced for 3DS???
Bring it to vita and the tv consoles already too.
