Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino shared notable information about the development of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time in which he explained the game’s delay in 2024 and confirmed that producer Keiji Inafune left the company.

In a blog post, Hino said the project “faced an unexpected challenge” during the middle of last year. Aside from Inafune departing, the game underwent an overhaul after “internal test players had given the game harsh evaluations”. More of Level-5’s studios became involved and there were additions and improvements made, including “open-world exploration and parkour-style actions, restructuring the system’s progression flow, improving the core mechanics, and refining the scenario to be even more emotionally impactful.”

Here’s the update from Hino in full:

It’s no secret that Luigi is one of the most beloved characters in the Mario franchise. Mario is well-liked, too, but lots of Super Mario fans like Luigi better thanks to his deeper personality and his whole “living in his brother’s shadow” trait he has going on. To celebrate this, Nintendo hosted a special event all throughout 2013 called the Year of Luigi. The idea was that Nintendo would release games and merch featuring Luigi more so in 2013 than ever before, all to commemorate everyone’s favorite green-capped plumber.

That being said, while the Year of Luigi is an interesting part of Nintendo’s history, it wasn’t a runaway success. Today, we’re analyzing everything Nintendo released as part of the Year of Luigi, plus how they could do it better if they ever dedicate an upcoming year to a specific character (which, for the record, seems a bit unlikely).

Nintendo released quite a few big DLC packs, which added tons of life and longevity to their respective titles.

Pokemon Day 2025 has come and gone, and with it, the latest Pokemon Presents broadcast. As usual, fans were treated to the latest news about the franchise.

We’ll focus on two of the biggest things here. First, Pokemon Legends: Z-A was properly unveiled following last year’s announcement, complete with gameplay and detailed information. Pokemon Champions was announced, which will be coming to Nintendo Switch (and mobile) at some point in the future. While these were the bigger items, updates on a variety of other topics were shared.
