Level-5 may very well have intentions to localize Fantasy Life for western markets. A trademark for the 3DS game in Europe was filed in Europe, possibility hinting at an overseas release.
If Fantasy Life does in fact head overseas, it’ll be interesting to see which publisher distributes the title. Will Level-5 handle publishing duties itself? Or will it team up with another company?

Having problems finding LEGO City: Undercover? That could be because the game has been seeing shipping issues much like Fire Emblem: Awakening last month. Some retailers are counting on stock arriving later this week.
Of course, LEGO City is already out at some retailers and you should have a decent shot at finding the game. You could also opt to purchase the Wii U title through the eShop.
Uncade plans to bring Another Castle to the Wii U eShop, but not 3DS. There’s a simple reason: the indie title’s engine isn’t supported on Nintendo’s handheld. That point aside, Uncade’s David Byers believes that developing another version would be a lot to ask for since it’s being made for a bunch of different platforms.
Byers said in a recent interview:
“Unfortunately the game engine I’m using doesn’t support the 3DS. I’m also developing the game for a LOT of different platforms, so adding any more at this point might be too much.”
