I wouldn’t worry too much about this, but Level-5– when asked by Kotaku– said that none of their games have been confirmed for western releases. Professor Layton specifically has always managed to make its way stateside/Canadaside/Europeside, so I wouldn’t put too much thought into the idea that no one will publish their games.

Wii U often sees comparisons to a number of technologies. For instance, following E3, people were quick to bring up the similarities between the console and Microsoft’s SmartGlass.

The PlayStation 3 and Vita have also been compared to the Wii U. That’s because you could essentially have one experience going on the television while the Vita provides a secondary experience through cross-play/cross-control.

Sony’s John Koller has no issues with the comparisons, and believes that the company’s console/handheld can “easily” match what Wii U brings to the table.

“We tell our PlayStation fans all the time that what the Wii U is offering is something that Vita and PS3 can do quite easily.”

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

The popular fantasy action franchise Monster Hunter™ returns to Europe and North America with Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate launching on Nintendo Wii U™ and Nintendo 3DS™.

Players take on the role of a hunter and are sent to explore a settlement within the Monster Hunter™ universe, completing quests on their journey to seek and slay monsters while improving their skills and earning equipment upgrades. With many challenging monsters and over 200 quests the latest edition to the series is set to be the most expansive offering to date.

Monster Hunter™ 3 Ultimate utilizes the functionalities of the Wii U console and Nintendo 3DS system to provide players with a truly intuitive hunting experience. The touch screen feature of both platforms allows players to quickly access in-game books, weapons, field maps and mini games while the high quality graphics of Wii U and 3D visuals of Nintendo 3DS powered by the latest iteration of Capcom’s MT Framework deliver a unique and stunning world for players to explore. Taking advantage of the portability of Nintendo 3DS, players can exchange their guild card that contains all their hunter’s information with other players via StreetPass™.


Injustice: Gods Among Us is expected to arrive in April 2013. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced the release window earlier today. A final release date will be announced closer to launch.

“Our U.S. office mainly works to efficiently release the Japanese titles that Level-5 has created overseas and they are involved in production and distribution in the overseas territories. With Ni no Kuni, they are helping bring it to the overseas markets and potentially with other titles. In the future, we would potentially like to develop title overseas where Level-5 International America is taking the lead on developing for the overseas market.” – Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino

Hmm… It’s a bit up for debate as of right now, but once they finish localization of Ni no Kuni and the rumored publishing of Guild 01 I could see them slowly taking on a development role. Assuming that Ni no Kuni and Guild 01 sell enough to keep them afloat, that is!
