Most wanted 1 (Dota 2's Lina): To the right of Master Chief, looking a little towards Peach. (Voice actress joke - Lina's VA, Jen Taylor, is also Cortana and Peach's GCN / Wii era voice)
pizza.Vergeben is back because people are like "omg he was right two years ago" even though I'm pretty sure he was talking about an Ender Dragon boss or smth.
It's stupid.I don't know but
"Publisher: EA"

There's where the rumor is from. Took a quick look at the Social to get the link~
...To be fair, this is a thing from over a year back that keeps getting brought up with nothing to show for it. It's a listing that exists for some odd reason. Why on earth it's still there, when Nintendo hasn't even going into any new details(including things related to EA, if they are even involved, which isn't entirely impossible), I dunno. Seems like they just aren't good at keeping proper website work done?"Publisher: EA"
It's more "Minecraft content" that he was sure on, but he had a bad source. People think he suddenly had a good source cause it actually came up.Vergeben is back because people are like "omg he was right two years ago" even though I'm pretty sure he was talking about an Ender Dragon boss or smth.
I mean, the writing was on the wall for anyone who closely followed Level 5. The goal was to be more independent of Nintendo when publishing in the West, given the troubles of the Japanese branch of the studio, that was looking less and less likely. https://t.co/HUWfJ01yn7

If Nintendo was gonna buy anyone right now, it should be Level 5. So many good IPs are gonna just die if nothing's done...
From the article, it sounds like this does not impact the Japan side of Level 5, only the international offices.
Yeah, I don't know wether or not this effects the Japanese branch, I heard that the western one has been very understaffed for a long while now.
It could have been this one if Yo-kai watch wasn't advertised in the west as a "Pokemon Killer" even though that is not what the intent of the series was.
If it's just the NA branch, this doesn't affect Smash at all. Still seeing Level 5 going the same way as AlphaDream will be sad.
If it's only for North America, the absolute worst case scenario would be that Level-5 is still active in Japan and Europe, but none of its games would reach NA.
I remember back in 2001 when Dark Cloud for PS2, another one of Level 5’s IPs, was advertised as a “Zelda killer”
Geez, is this just a thing advertisers do with Level-5 games? Was LBX promoted as a "Gundam killer" or something?
"It's in the game!""Publisher: EA"
Still though, wouldn't that mean that Level 5 would be reliant on other publishers (Nintendo etc.) to publish their games in the West?
I mean... some companies, most notably Nintendo, used to do that before Level-5 tried to be a big boy and publish their games in the West themselves, so I can see it go either way.
Yeah L5 always had this thing where the gaming media tend to portray some of their games as "insert beloved franchise here" killer, even though that was never their intend in the first place.
So marketing would be the "Level-5 killer" then?
I guess I should count my blessings that the Layton series was never marketed as a "Brain Age/Ace Attorney killer"....So marketing would be the "Level-5 killer" then?
I guess I can drop my hopes for Layton in smash now, thankfully
Considering main Professor Layton games ended , that's one thing I don't see a problem. with. I'm not really a fan of Yokai Watch and I don't really care for any Inazuma elevenProfessor Pumpkaboo is gonna be sad about this...
This is not good news, of course, but I don't see how this affects the chances of a rep from them. This was just declared today, and the characters were chosen last year.
I know for sure this isn't good news for the company. And I guess you are right a character being in Smash isn't the same as then publishing your own games so maybe I just overreacted
Im pretty sure that if Sakurai knew about Mother 3 not coming outside of Japan, Lucas wouldn't have been included, and Roy and Marth were meant to be excluded in the international versions of Melee. Because of this im sure that unless Level 5 gets an international friend to help publish them outside of Japan, they are done for in the future. (far future, not now)
Do what you want, but he still has a chance for this pass. As long as Nintendo didn't get wind of this while choosing the characters, Layton should be in the clear.
The fighter would be a FIFA character.

I'm thinking this might be a one-time thing, at most stretching on until CP9. As we discussed a few pages back, it's likely that some fighters were chosen long before FP2, but not all. We'll probably get one character from the FP1 speculative era, then get blindsided by another Joker character (As in, a massive surprise that doesn't fit the current speculation; Size, age, and Nintendo relations could be vastly different).
On the one hand Level-5’s West branches only said “virtually halted operations” and said nothing about bankruptcy explicitlyAlso I don't mean to rain more on the Level-5 thing
Someone on 4Chan predicted this happen last October

tbh, I can see then going into bankruptcy. That last "Layton" game which was just "Where is my dad: the game" was pretty mediocre. At least in the anime she reunited with her father and didn't just end the with the vague letterAlso I don't mean to rain more on the Level-5 thing

Why did they decide to try to Make Layton's Daughter the New Protag Anyway? was Layton just getting old or something? also besides that, why was the game Mediocre?
