[Let’s Talk] Which Level-5 Nintendo Switch / Switch 2 game are you most looking forward to?
Posted on 2 months 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.

Donkey Kong Bananza director comments on frame rate drops

Kazuya Takahashi, the director of Donkey Kong Bananza, has commented on the game’s performance and frame rate drops.
Overall, early impressions of the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive have been positive. However, some who have been able to try out the game prior to launch have noticed some frame rate dips. It’s largely stable and tends to hit its target of 60 frames per second, but inconsistencies have been noticed. We should get a better idea about performance following launch, which is happening next Thursday.
