Level-5's Guild01 Game's Promo Video Posted

The Japanese game developer Level-5 began streaming a promotional video for its release of Guild01, the upcoming Nintendo 3DS "omnibus" title featuring four games by guest creators. The video features cut scene footage and gameplay footage for all four games included in the pack. It also features footage for Level-5's first suspense work, Time Travelers, which will be released this year. A demo for the game will be included with Guild01.

The compilation features:

• The robot shooter Kaihō Shōjo, from Goichi “Suda 51” Suda
• The role-playing game Rental Bukiya de Omasse about a fantasy weaponry maker from Yoshiyuki Hirai of the comedy duo America Zarigani
• The airport simulation game Air Porter from Vivarium head Yoot Saito (SimTower, Seaman)
• The dark fantasy adventure role-playing game Crimson Shroud from Yasumi Matsuno (Ogre Battle, Vagrant Story)

The anime studio Bones is producing the animation in Kaihō Shōjo. The players assumes the role of Shōko Ōzora, a high school girl who has been inaugurated as the second president of New Japan after her father (the first president) was assassinated. Using the stylus, the player controls "Kaihōki" (Liberation Machine) Kamui, an 11-meter-tall humanoid robot with anti-aircraft and anti-ground weapons.

Guild01 was originally slated for a May 17 release, but was delayed until May 31 in order to create "even higher-quality games." The game is retailing for 3,980 yen (about US$49).
