[Let’s Talk] Which Level-5 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 game are you most looking forward to?
Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
After a few rough years, Level-5 might finally be back on track. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time launched a couple of months ago and has been a smash hit.
At a few points, things felt a bit dire for Level-5. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road went through multiple year-long delays and overall output slowed to a crawl. But now Fantasy Life i could just be the start of Level-5’s comeback tour. The company has a few games in the pipeline. Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, Decapolice, Inazuma Eleven Re, and Holy Horror Mansion are in development and are planned for Nintendo Switch / Switch 2. Some are closer than others, and while there have been plenty of concerns about Level-5, there are signs of life.
Out of Level-5’s upcoming slate, which game are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments.
