Looks really cool.

My first dealings with this type of game was the Animal Crossing that came out on the Switch when Covid hit. It was alright, but I'm not geared for these 'churn' games. It's nice that this one has combat at least. It also looks like they put a lot of effort into various modes and systems. Might pick this up for my gf, she really liked Animal Crossing more than I did.

 

[Impotaku]

If it's anything like the original one on 3DS it's going to be a time sink, it's fun as hell but unnaturally addictive I totally maxed out everything in that version back when I grabbed it on Japanese import.

Will be curious to see how long it takes to max out each life assuming it still uses the same system.

Edit my maxed out powerhouse that mastered all lives

 

[Isa]

Surprised it going multiplatform but that's cool. I'll snag it for PS5 then.

 

[Ar¢tos]

No... I shouldn't have opened this thread... Now I want it

It was hard enough to break the addiction to Stardew Valley...

Fantasy Life and Inazuma Eleven on PC!

Good stuff Level 5! Now give us Layton as well.

I don't think level 5 can really afford to be platform exclusive they are still struggling pretty bad to stay afloat, it's a huge shame as the stuff they put out always has a crazy amount of polish.

 

[Hookshot]

Looks like we'll never get the previously cut jobs. There's no pilot or dancer or even post man in those 14.

 

[Impotaku]

Just be glad it's not been cancelled. Still eternally waiting for Ushiro it was planned for PSP then cancelled then they revived the project for switch and it vanished. Still waiting for decapolice too

 

[jshackles]

Will buy for Switch (physical) and PC (Steam). Love the first game, one of my favorites on the 3DS.

The Japanese PS5 and Switch physicals are up for pre-order at VGP.

You know there is a new one announced, yes?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Any word about cross play? I'd really love to get this on Steam and play with my wife on Switch

 

[Woopah]

Another Level 5 delay, but at least it will actually come out this year!

Will buy for Switch (physical) and PC (Steam). Love the first game, one of my favorites on the 3DS.

Looks like Level 5 has given up on a physical release in the West in order to go multiplatform.

Their announcement says full cross-play and cross-save

 

[kapshin]

I am intrigued most likely the Switch version unless it is on xCloud just feels like an on the to type of game to me.

 

[nikos]

In on PC.

 

[Midn1ght]

You know there is a new one announced, yes?

I know but so far it's Switch only if I'm not wrong.

Would be cool to have it on PC, as well as a compilation with older games like we got with Ace Attorney not long ago.

 

[The Pleasure]

The girl who steals time. Isn't that called a girlfriend, wife, bootycall, bae, Canadian?

Triple post, but also bad news for people (like me) who were planning to pick this up on PC:

This also means it won't be supported on Steam Deck, which was my primary reason for buying it on Steam.

This is straight up sabotaging their own game. What an idiotic move.

Man that's just retarded. I was looking forward to cross play with my wife on Switch and me on Steam Deck. Guess I'll wait til if/when they remove this bullshit.

Same. I'll keep my pre-order for the physical Switch version (which isn't even coming out here in the West) and nix my plans on double-dipping on Steam. A shame, really.
