Level-5 releases special wallpaper, is forced to include the airplane from AeroPorter due to poll results
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Gaming, Images, News, Wii | 0 comments

Though I’m sure they don’t mind in the slightest, game developer/publisher Level-5 was recently forced to publish a special wallpaper with characters from many of their most popular franchises… as well as the airplane and the “porter” from AeroPorter! The 3DS download title apparently held a spot in the popularity poll that they put up to determine which characters would be drawn into the wallpaper, and so many people put down their vote for the non-living, metallic flight-body that Level-5 had to include it! The airplane managed to snag 46,263 votes, ahead of the second-place Inazuma character who pulled in 38,339, and the porter himself (a character with no face or personality, mind you) got ninth, with 17,889.
Take a look at the wallpaper above, or click here to download a full-sized version.
