Fantasy Life won’t just be a standalone release. In this week’s Famitsu, Level-5 confirmed it has plans to turn the IP into a franchise.
When asked about its plans for the year ahead, Level-5 said the company intends for Fantasy Life to be the first game in a larger series.

In December, a group of robbers collected 7,000 Wii U consoles from a warehouse in Seattle and then drove off in trucks. Police have since located “two trailers and a box truck”, but no Wii U systems.
The chances of finding the stolen stock aren’t too high at the moment. Still, there is some hope, and SeaTac detectives are working with the Los Angeles based “Cargo Theft Task Force”. Police have also raised the reward to $10,000 – which admittedly pales in comparison to the $2 million worth of Wii U systems stolen.

2K Sports announced MLB 2K13 a short while ago. But the company is mixing things up in a rather big way.
MLB 2K13 will only land on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Unlike last year, there isn’t anything in the works for the Wii or DS. There isn’t a Wii U edition either.
No baseball on Nintendo platforms this year, then.
