Want Layton vs. Wright? Want Ni no Kuni? You know you do.

I've lost my hopes for a western release of Type-0 for the PSP. I'm sure it'll arrive after Vita hits the US shore. So Level-5 being backed by Sq-Enix doesn't give them any sort of reliability. Sq-Enix is being terrible with releases in the West.

That's not what I meant at all, and Square-Enix isn't terrible at releasing their stuff at all. They are probably the MOST reliable Japanese company when it comes to Western releases. But of course, there's no arguing that it will come out AFTER the Vita here because the Vita is scheduled for release in like November/December and Type-0 isn't even coming out until October in Japan. Even if Type-0 hadn't been delayed it wouldn't be out before the Vita because western releases take place around 6 months after their Japanese counter-parts. Typically with added features.

Also everyone here uses a hacked PSP, yourself included, so there isn't a ton of incentive for them to rush it. In Japan the PSP is the main seller and very few people have hacked theirs. Hopefully the Vita will have better security to prevent pirating so we see more western releases of ALL games.

But none of this has ANYTHING to do with Level-5. Their being backed by Square-Enix just means that they are very likely to continue releasing extremely successful games like the Dragon Quest series which in turn also allows them to work on other games like Ni no Kuni and White Knight Chronicles because their name is out there and they're making decent money already.
