The conference will be starting shortly, and Anoop has a liveblog going on his site as usual. I will update the OP later after the event with summaries of the announcements and stuff. There will be official media available at the end of the conference directly from Level 5, as usual. The conference is slated to go on for about 2 hours, so this is going to be a pretty long one.

Line-up:
Ninokuni (DS)
Ninokuni (PS3)
Layton 5 (3DS)
Time Travelers
Fantasy Life (DS)
Little Battlers (PSP)
Mystery Room (DS)

What sort of announcements to expect:
Inazuma Eleven 3: The Ogre (DS)
Sengoku Baseball Team
...any more!

Presentation #1 is going to run for over an hour. Must be a major announcement. Probably Little Battle eXperience (Cardboard Senki/Little Battlers)?

Why did you omit the ROID hostess simulator in the line-up? That's their best game!!!

Errr, that game is already out. They're just using the artwork as part of the ROID icon. ROID is part of the line-up, but it's not a game, it's just a service. They'll be announcing more titles on the service today I'm sure, but we don't know what they will be.

I just clicked on 1up, and I got a half-page ad with sound of Predators on blu-ray and DVD, and I clicked through all the tabs for NEWS, WHAT'S HOT, etc and none of them showed any link to a liveblog. What a truly terrible site.

I dont really following anything Level 5 related other than Layton related goodness, but why is there so much fuss over Time Travelers? I'm under the impression we know basically nothing about it, yet every Level 5 thread I read seems to have people really pumped for it.

What is it that I do not know?

It's really simple. Level 5 games with no information whatsoever are always more interesting. They're great with concept art and ideas. Plus, since there is no platform announced, annoying tards can go OMG OMGGGG 3DS!!! DERP DERP DERP!!1111

The fuss is because people is expecting it to be a 3DS game.

EDIT

I hate you duckroll

I didn't know Level 5 was making a game called Time Travelers. There better be a cool game that revolves around time traveling or else.

I'm quite disappointed in the reporting on this one. Obviously everyone translating the title has failed to notice the crucial piece of punctuation that's in the original - it's actually "Time, Travelers".

From the scuttlebutt I've read, the game is a rather charming innkeeping sim where you play the role of the head of a just-opened inn in a mysterious town. You're tasked with running the day-to-day operations of the inn while trying to discover the secret of this strange town through the conversations of your regulars - all against the clock, because at the end of the night it's "Time, Travelers"!

Sorry!

If they're showing 10 games, then all the titles in the OP plus Inazuma Eleven Strikers would make 10. Which means.... nothing unexpected at all? Lol.

Edit: Hmmm, Anoop says more than 10 games.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Anoop reported more than 10 titles.

I guess they're showing all the listed ones?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Ninokuni DS sounds friggin awesome - love the new system. Please come to the west WITH the magic book.

Yeah, I'm not sure how this is going to work out in Japan. Kids expect portable games to actually be.... portable.

Ni no Kuni DS sounds like DQ + Pokemon + Layton puzzles + Studio Ghibli designs.

That's like crack on a silicon chip. The physical book sounds interesting, but it may be too cumbersome.

The game uses stylus, correct? so you hold DS with one hand and stylus with the other and the book lies on your lap, so comfortable :lol.

Pretty much every major DS game in Japan now has tag mode. It's a pity too, because it's completely useless outside of Japan.

Ninokuni sounds like the ultimate DS J-RPG - epic presentation, monster raising, tag mode, ghibli animations, dlc in form of quests and weapons.... could become level 5s first published rpg million seller in Japan.

The first game with Tag mode in it must have been Nintendogs, I wonder how often it was used like that in old Nippon.

Maybe not too much considering DQ IX gets all the credit! :lol

So Ninokuni is going to go back in time and beat Inazuma Eleven 2? You're so funny. :lol
