Go go Yo-Kai Watch
Level-5 is no stranger to Nintendo platforms. While they got their start making fantastic games like Dark Cloudand Jeanne d’Arc, they shifted over to the DS with Professor Layton, and saw great success there for many years. But they haven’t really developed much for Nintendo’s console line, only peppering in a few Inazuma Elevengames for the Wii, and a Yo-Kai Watchspinoff on Wii U.
When asked by IGN, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino seems to be more hopeful in terms of their future on Nintendo consoles. Hino noted that he would “proactively consider” both consoles, and that he’s interested in the NX in particular, stating that“[I want to] bring Level-5 games to as many kids as possible.”
The developer is still working on Yo-Kai Watch 3, and if the NX really takes off, I can easily see a fully featured follow-up in the future.
