They're making it in collaboration with DMM Games.

You will remember LBX best as a children's game about building robots targeted at 6-11 year olds.

There's a lot more at the link.

Edit:

Since some people are asking, yes, these children get very young.

Disgusting.

This sucks

Gentleman Jack · Sep 29, 2017

You know Vita is dead when even these games aren't announced for the platform.

A+ thread title

fadedbones · Sep 29, 2017

Man LBX was a pretty decent game. Why do things have to turn out like this :/

Brazil · Sep 29, 2017

They've tried being the classiest JP publisher around for over a decade and consumers failed them.

Good on you, Hino. Dry those suckers' wallets.

TC McQueen · Sep 29, 2017

I was cool with the mecha musume, but then I saw the damaged version and I'm just like "Man, fuck KanColle for starting this trend."

KillLaCam · Sep 29, 2017

These games weren't slooty in the past or something?

Gotdatmoney · Sep 29, 2017

Thread title extremely accurate.

Gleethor · Sep 29, 2017

*sees first pic*
Well its completely impractical as armor but I dont see what-
*sees second pic*
Oh

L Thammy · Sep 29, 2017

Worked for Medabots!

...oh wait, I guess it didn't.

Lagamorph · Sep 29, 2017

It's getting localised right?

Oregano · Sep 29, 2017

Just copying Medabots again.

Father_Brain · Sep 29, 2017

...wasn't this franchise aimed at preteen boys? well, guess the original audience is older and hornier now

Delusibeta · Sep 29, 2017

So, basically Level 5's version of Kantai Collection, then. Same developers and everything.

LBX was a series about elementary children building robots targeted at 6-11 year olds.

It's like if you made Pokemon into this.

Did that game ever get released? I remember seeing the announcement, but nothing else.

Ahasverus · Sep 29, 2017

It's about integrity in JRPGs

They were aimed at children.

Rymuth · Sep 29, 2017

The following was 100% my reaction

*enters thread*
"This doesnt look bad...what's Nirolak talking about--"
*swipe down to 2nd pic*
"Oh......"

WarRock · Sep 29, 2017

Damn, in 6 years LBX has gone the full 20-30 year cycle of other franchises.

I would expect the gameplay to be better than Busou Shinki but, eh. I'm not touching this, Level-5.

Oh god. That's more than horrible. Wtf.

It did.

SinCityAssassin · Sep 29, 2017

Medabots, Bomberman, now this?

Hot Coldman · Sep 29, 2017

guessing Snack World didn't do so hot then

L Thammy · Sep 29, 2017

Wasn't the Level-5 formula to release a series, have it become really popular, then run it into the ground? Maybe this was always the next stage of the process and we just didn't know it yet.

Create series -> Kill series -> Necrophilia

Purple Cheeto · Sep 29, 2017

6 star Waifus are the way to make money.

NintendosBooger · Sep 29, 2017

Level-5 has no discipline. Ever since they started publishing and funding their own games they've demonstrated a lack of brand awareness and quality control.

Alfebit · Sep 29, 2017

Preordering

SliceSabre · Sep 29, 2017

Achilles has the best outfit if you ask me.

Where do I pre-order?

dawgparty · Sep 29, 2017

Man, I am so fucking tired of this stuff. Sexy female characters is one thing, ostensibly fifteen-year old girls losing clothing while they're getting their asses kicked is something else entirely.

Dragoshi1 · Sep 29, 2017

Screw it, give it to me.

Stood with the LBX series since it started, why stop now.

L Thammy · Sep 29, 2017

To be honest though, the thing that bugs me most is that all of these armours look like cheap Monster Hunter ripoffs. I couldn't pick these waifus out of a lineup.

I feel like there's pretty good reason to stop now.

OceanBlue · Sep 29, 2017

Time to save a couple hundred for this game

Switch is the new Vita. Level 5, when?

Cyframe · Sep 29, 2017

I played the only LBX game localized and I never thought the series would turn into this.

Glass Shark · Sep 29, 2017

1upsuper · Sep 29, 2017

This is not something I would expect from Level-5.

Slayven · Sep 29, 2017

Whats worse? A Franchise dying or being converted to moe?

Steel · Sep 29, 2017

*Watches youtube link*

Well, this is sorta generic anime-looking stuff. I don't see what the big deal is-

*scrolls down*

Oh.

I'd kill my favorite series myself before allowing this yack

mrjohill · Sep 29, 2017

Smh wow.

I'd rather have a series dead. Lady Layton wasn't well received apparently and I don't even want to imagine what they'd do with the Professor Layton franchise moving forward.

Akainu · Sep 29, 2017

Oh level-5.

Apharmd · Sep 29, 2017

disgusting

but such trash is par for the people who made Gundam AGE

cw_sasuke · Sep 29, 2017

Not a fan.

Philippo · Sep 29, 2017

I admit that i legit laughed at the sequence of the two pics with the change of face lol

Didn't something similar happen with Medabots too?

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
