Issue 4/24 of Weekly Famitsu has a feature that focus on some of hottest new IPs in Japan and Level-5 has three titles, the amazing looking Ninokuni for the DS naturally top the voting list (see the full list here) with the other two being Danboru Senki and Ushiro.

Danboru (cardboard in Japanese) is an RPG that lets players customize their own LBX (Little Battle eXperience, robots made from enhanced cardboards) and battle against enemy LBX on various stages. Level-5 boss Akihiro Hino says development has been smooth with works on the characters, battle stages and world settings completed. The customization of LBX will be the main focus of the game and Hino is confident that kids and adults, especially those who love robots, will like the game a lot. Finally, he says we can expect new info on the game very soon.

On the other hand, Hino mention nothing about Ushiro’s development or release date but he says the game is like nothing we’ve seen before because aside from having Shinigami attach to the character, there will be some “shocking new system” to be revealed. Although he can’t talk to much about the story, he says besides horror, the game will warm your heart too.

All three games are still being listed as 2009 release in the article. Screens for Danboru Senki and Ushiro can be found here and here.
