Level-5 has big expectations for Fantasy Life. Speaking with Famitsu this week, president and CEO Akihiro Hino said that he’d like to turn the series into a million-seller in Japan.

He said:

“For me, Fantasy Life is a title I’m really glad we were able to make. Development on it was difficult and time-consuming, but seeing it be appreciated by everyone gives us the confidence to try creating new things. I’d like to see Fantasy Life grow into a series we can sell a million copies of [in Japan]; I think it’s one of the bigger success stories in our drive to take on new challenges, so I’d like to have the courage to connect it to the next thing.”

Level-5 has previously expressed interest in pursuing Fantasy Life further. An update for the 3DS game, known as Fantasy Life Link, is coming to Japan in July.

E3 2013 may finally be where we are given a first look at Retro Studios’ Wii U game. Nothing is guaranteed, but Nintendo’s Hiro Yamada did tease last month that he “hope[s] to introduce it to you in the not so distant future.”

As far as what Retro is working on, that’s pretty much anyone’s guess. However, IGN’s Peer Schneider did offer up potential insight during a Nintendo Voice Chat” feature (24:17 mark).

He said, “I’ve heard rumors that Retro’s game is a new brand.”

This seems to imply that Retro is working on a new IP, but nothing is set in stone, and the wording is slightly nebulous. Here’s hoping that Nintendo will finally pull back the curtain on the company’s project next month.
