Level-5 working on Switch game(s)

Level-5 is working on game(s)* for Nintendo’s March-released Switch hardware, company president and CEO Akihiro Hino said in a Nikkei Trendy interview published today.

Here’s the excerpt:
“I think the Style of Switch is a wonderful fit for competitive games. You can play if you’re gathered in real life, as well as online. For example, I think the fact that the game lovers within a company can get together and play Mario Kart is really fascinating and interesting. And while I can’t say the content quite yet, we’re working on game(s)* that support [Switch].”

Yes multiplats, virtual console, and low risk type games. Don't expect AAA exclusive.

The Switch is shaping up to be the best handheld/hybrid ever. I dont get why so many haters are being a dick about that. I suspect its because u dont intend to buy one so u blindly bash. The Switch will have a library comparable to the 3ds but better.

Aenea3276d ago

@EddieNX

I really, really hope the library will improve. Also hope the library will be like 3DS, then I'm happy with it!
Right now there's not much there if I'm honest, Zelda, MK8 and Fast RMX are the only ones I like. Most of the others are either Indie games that are available on my main console (PS4) already or are old Neogo or that Namco collection.

FYI: I'm eagerly awaiting a dispatch email for my Switch, ordered one today, normally should already have had the email, already got the email for MK8 and Zelda but I need the Switch to *shakes the monitor*

mikeslemonade3275d ago

Funny how you guys assume I don't have a Switch. Just cause I'm negative about it implies I don't have a Switch?

darthv723276d ago

got to admit... at first i thought this was about factor-5 instead of level-5. Damn..... was hoping for a revival of the rogue squadron games on the switch.

Brave_Losers_Unite3276d ago

I love ganes from Level5. RPGs are the shit

phoenixwing3276d ago (Edited 3276d ago )

got monolith and level 5 mixed up in my original post. I like both companies.

GameBoyColor3276d ago

All I needed to know, japanese support and nintendo 1st parties is all i need from this machine cuz I get everything else on pc.

datriax3276d ago

Oh boy! I better go buy 3 Switch right now. This is incredible! A game developer is working on Switch games!!!!!

jamstorr863276d ago

Why do you have to be such a dick? Can't people be happy that a particular developer is making games for the switch?

GFahim3276d ago

he thinks hes cool by bashing on nintendo via sarcasm

_-EDMIX-_3276d ago

lol, how do you know he's not?

Prince_TFK3276d ago (Edited 3276d ago )

Yes let spend those imaginary money to buy those imaginary switches!

jznrpg3276d ago

Cool, I hope they are different games than those on PS4. I may buy a couple that are on both for Switch but I want Switch only games mainly for Switch.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3276d ago

Level-5 only has one PS4 game and that Ni No Kuni II.

thatguyhayat3276d ago

White knight chronicles too

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3276d ago

@thatguyhayat
I said PS4 not PS3.

_-EDMIX-_3276d ago

Likely.

Like Otaku stated, the only have 1 PS4 game coming out, a lot of what they've done in the past couple of years has been ios, android and 3DS.

So I'm expecting Professor Layton, Yo-kai Watch, something new maybe etc

rainslacker3276d ago

As far as I know, the only games they have on PS platforms are those that Sony funded, so they'll likely be different, although likely in Level-5 style...which can be diverse at times.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio13d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
