The last and only other Fantasy Life game released in 2012 for the 3DS, so while, truthfully, any cute call back to that time in Nintendo's history would be enough to satisfy me, I'm glad to hear ...
Mega Man and Mighty No. 9 creator Keiji Inafune left Level-5 last year, and a massive overhaul of Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time followed.
While certainly not the most critically-acclaimed title on the 3DS, Fantasy Life nevertheless gained a significant, dedicated audience thanks to its unique sense of charm and engaging mechanics.
