News – Level-5 International America Site Opened, Asks What Game You Want
I don’t plan to cover any dub Inazuma Eleven stuff in the future (unless they miraculously keep the original names), but…
LEVEL-5 has opened its official site for its International America side:
Official Site: http://www.level5ia.com
Twitter: http://twitter.com/#!/LEVEL5_IA
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/LEVEL5IA
The facebook has opened a poll (question) asking What unreleased LEVEL-5 game is the most exciting to you?
Choose where your voice and vote go wisely. +__+
Btw, some personal notes: Does anyone really think they WON’T bring Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney over? Does it even NEED votes? It’s not even available in Japan yet either, so I wish they hadn’t added it to the list at all… (Just for the record, I’m totally excited for that game myself since I’ve played everything in the Gyakuten Saiban series and am slowly going through Layton. But THINK, people.)

Just a few highlights from updates to the Official Site (spoilers abound):

*edit* There’s a special note on the bottom stating that the view count is dependent on YouTube’s counter functions, so the numbers on the site may not be an accurate depiction of the current view count. Also quite possible that overloading on the videos causes the view count to stop altogether, temporarily. Bah technology. XD;
*edit2* View count goal numbers changed (100k to 40k, etc), probably because of the flooding problems. Gogogo!

News – Level-5 donates 10,000k yen, Inazuma Strikers Delayed, Anime Schedule Update
Level-5 has announced it is donating 10,000,000 yen to the northeast Japan earthquakes and tsunamis relief effort ($125,000). The company is also offering charity contents through Inazuma Mobile for those with cell phones usable in Japan; 100% of the proceeds will go towards charities (more details later).
The official site for Inazuma Strikers has been updated to include Tenma from Inazuma GO, and the release date for the game has been delayed to Summer 2011 instead of the previously announced date of April 28, 2011. Just for note, this delay was announced before the earthquakes occurred.
Among other updates on the site are a new opening by T-Pistonz+KMC, and information on using offense and defense techniques, shoot blocks and long shoots.
Level-5 President Hino has announced this week’s one-hour Danball Senki special will air as scheduled, as well as next week’s Inazuma Eleven. He has been seeing an increase of “your work cheers me up” messages from fans, and he believes it is especially in times like this that we should be doing what we can to cheer up the children.
*edit 3/23* Information on the charity contents through Inazuma Mobile is available from Level-5‘s website (Japanese mobile users only).
