I thought Nintendo make marketing deal with Capcom for MH3U?
Though after that, its solely on Capcom and reality of the market.

I hope it's not cartoonish and they try to make another one like WKC, except good.
No they're just not making a new movie at this time. They're taking a break before deciding what to do next production-wise. That doesn't mean their animators, artists, and designers aren't available to continue working on collaborations and other projects.

Highly unlikely that it is a new IP. It isn't easy to launch a new JRPG IP.
Dragon Quest tease will probably come officially from Square not Level 5. It isn't popular enough WW for a reveal at E3.
All my bets are on Ni No Kuni 2. Or if they want to cash on the success of Youkai Watch, it could be the PS4 entry of that IP.

Probably Ni No Kuni 2. Another Rogue Galaxy would be great, so would another Dark Cloud.

Yes please. Give me an older Oliver.
Level 5 has the ability to disappoint or excite. Fingers crossed for something spectacular. Youkai Watch can fuck off.
EDIT: I confused E3 with the Playstation Experience event. God dammnit, I can't wait until E3 for a reveal = /.

Here's the crazy thing: I've seen a lot of hate on Level 5 here on NeoGaf because Level 5 has this reputation for creating a series and then milking it to hell and back. Series like Layton, Inazuma 11, and possibly even Youkai Watch have seen some Level 5 bashing because they made so many of those games in a short period of time because they were successful. So it's refreshing to see some calls for sequels to their popular console games.
Also, as much as I'd love a NNK2 (like really, really love it), sadly with Studio Ghibli's current situation I doubt they'd get on board. I'm not sure if NNK2 would be the same without that Studio Ghibli touch in visuals since the entire world is based on Studio Ghibli artwork.
Ah, I see.

The more JRPG the better i just hope it better than NNK the battle system for that sucked.
Level-5 : We put Youkai Watch on the 3DS, because it was the platform that made the most sense for the audience we're targetting.
ITT: OMG Youkai Watch PS4, Sony stole YW from Nintendo!!
Ha ha.

On a more serious note, I bet this is related to the big scale project they are/were hiring a while ago.

Why would anyone want Ni No Kuni 2?! I love the game but it had an ending. Give me a new game with a brand new story and world that's ripe with adventure and characters. Fresh IP, as we say.
Haven't they said that they're going to look at things internally and take a break before proceeding with their future? They're likely to become an art vendor, but I don't think it's happening so soon.

Oh thank God.
I was worried between the unbelievable success of Youkai Watch and the relatively mild sales of WKC that Level-5 were going to pretty much pack in home console development this gen.
Looking forward to hearing more about this. Though I'm slightly worried that an E3 reveal = a western focused game. Because those haven't worked out so well in the past.

i have no idea why they announce a new game at E3?

I'd argue that Hino's not bad with settings. WKC, Gundam Age, NnK, Layton, Yokai Watch, etc were all games with well-crafted universes/overviews and a visual identity that makes those games recognisably their own.
It's the extra mile that Hino's hit-or-miss.
Sometimes sequels are just a number to seem familiar to an existing audience. It doesn't mean it can't be a new game with a brand new story and world.
That's with regards to new productions from Ghibli. They still have people working right now doing contract work for animation and helping out on designs and layouts for Goro Miyazaki's CG TV series which is airing now.
Oh yeah, Level 5 was one of the devs he mentioned as having an exclusive for PS4.
Nice.

Yes! I'm so happy that PS4 is getting JRPGS.

Oh damn just remembered that.
They're not ready to show it off yet, and Sony wants them to have a bigger presence.
For a mid-size production house like Level 5, that's huge.

I don't know if my wife could deal with a dark Chronicles/cloud 3 announcement watching her play through 2 was painful... That fucking monotonous music is the stuff of nightmares.

Except he's written and designed pretty much everything at Level 5 which has produced some amazingly good and popular titles. He wrote and designed Dark Cloud, Dark Cloud 2, Rogue Galaxy, and Ni no Kuni (written by him, not directed or designed by him), all of which scored critically well, and sold well on consoles. He certainly had his missteps with WKC 1/2, but I partially blame Sony Japan's incompetence during the PS3 era for those moreso than Level 5. He has this ability to write charming characters and dialogue - Professor Layton wouldn't be the same series if it didn't have that charm factor.
I will agree that he should delegate some of that work to others in the company. It's good to mix it up now and again.
Please this, or Dark cloud 3
This sounds awesome. WKC1&2 online were great experiences and I would absolutely love something like that again.
