Level-5's Yasumi Matsuno Reveals 3DS Title Guild 01

Tactics Ogre creator Yasumi Matsuno has revealed his first project as part of Level-5 -- a Nintendo 3DS title that is made up of four separate games from big name developers. Due for release in Japan in 2012, Guild 01 consists of four games from developers Suda 51, Yoot Saito and Matsuno himself, reports Andriasang. Yoshiyuki Hirai from comedy group America Zarigani is also involved. The games range from a 3D shooter that involves robots and demon beasts, to an airport simulation game that revolves around baggage collection. There is also a dark fantasy RPG from Matsuno called Crimson Shroud, and a parody RPG that sees the player taking on the role of a weapon shop owner. More details are expected to be divulged at the Level-5 Vision conference later this week. Yasumi Matsuno joined Professor Layton developer Level-5 back in June, and said he was looking to work on compact games with shorter developer cycles, rather than long epics like his past work.
