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.

Being that Professor Layton of all games it the one that's going to finally push me over the edge and buy a DS when it comes out (or possibly on Black Friday), this can only be good news, if you ask me.

No, Rogue Galaxy was an RPG from Level-5. YOU're thinking of Rogue Squadron, the Star Wars game from Factor 5.

I hate to break it to you flameofdoom666. But Sony published it. So Sony gets the right to Rouge Galaxy 2. But the good new is Level 5 makes good new and so what every they do bring to the Wii will be great. Plus it could be a new IP and that would be cool.
So I can't wait to see what Level 5 will make for the Wii. As of right now there big game is White Knight for the PS3 and that looks great so I know what ever they make for the Wii will be awesome too.
