Level-5 wrapped up a live stream to promote its upcoming Vision event a short while ago. Aside from confirming new Layton and Inazuma games, CEO Akihiro Hino also talked about a few other titles.

First, Hino touched on The Snack World, which is still on the way. New concept art was shown – see the gallery below.

Hino also briefly discussed Level-5’s new cross-media project while showing concept art as well. He said, “you won’t go to space, this will be a very familiar story. An academy drama… perhaps?” The project is said to be shaping up very nicely and Level-5 has great expectations for it.

Here are a couple of pieces of concept art:

Finally, another live-stream will be held on Niconico on July 20 to provide more early information on the projects planned for Level-5 Vision 2016. It’ll take place at the following times:

– 4 AM PT
– 7 AM ET
– 12 PM in the UK

Square Enix held its Annual Shareholders’ Meeting earlier today. During the event, a question was asked about cross-save functionality between both versions of Dragon Quest XI.

Of course, Dragon Quest XI will be rather different on 3DS and PlayStation 4, and the two systems are from separate hardware manufacturers. Yet despite that, it still seems like Square Enix could implement some cross-save functionality between both games. The company’s Yu Miyake indicated that the “Spell of Restoration” may be used here to accomplish the feature.

Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii also mentioned last month that he wanted to bring back the Spell of Restoration in Dragon Quest XI. This refers to the classic password system used in the series’ early days.

Square Enix was also asked if new information about Dragon Quest XI will be revealed at the Tokyo Game Show and beyond. Miyake said they are considering it, and would like to share an update before the 30th anniversary is up.

Thanks to Jose for the tip.

Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure managed to sell just over 32,000 copies in its first week in Japan. Media Create now reports that the game sold through just 29.31 percent of its initial shipment.

Dokodon! Mystery Adventure is off to a slower start compared to the previous Taiko Drum Master games on 3DS. Little Dragon and the Mysterious Orb, which came out in July 2012, sold 65,000 units in its first week. 2014’s Don and Katsu’s Space-Time Great Adventure then sold 53,000 copies. Both titles saw sell-through rates of about 45 percent.

Even though Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure isn’t selling as well as its predecessors, it still should be something that moves copies in the long-term. However, there’s no denying that it’s seeing a difficult start.
