Level 5 interested in developing for the Wii


Recently, the Japanese website Inside-Games held an interview with Level 5's president, Akihiro Hino (pictured looking contemplative above). When asked if Level 5 had anything planned for the Wii, Hino said that the company was very interested in producing a Wii game. Unfortunately, the interview doesn't go into further detail on the issue, but we're willing to take this as a good sign. With the bossman publicly expressing his enthusiasm for the little white console, it seems likely that the company will develop a game for the Wii at some point.

Level 5 is the developer behind the Dragon Quest and Professor Layton games, among others. Since the company already has a plethora of games in the works for the DS, it's nice to see them showing the Wii a little love, too. If Level 5 does develop a game for the Wii, though, we can only hope that they'll aim for something original. We don't think we could muster up much excitement for another Dragon Quest title just yet.
