Um, what?
To celebrate their 15th anniversary,Level-5 held a fan pollto find out what the current favorite was amongst their colorful stable of characters. As many people know,Professor Laytonis a popular Level-5 franchise, alongside of quite a few other classics.
So imagine my surprise when the airplane fromAero Porterwon by 46,000 votes. Wait, what?! Although characters from the famousInazuma Elevenmade it in (which makes sense in Japan), it appears as if an inanimateairplanebeat out to atonof other classics, including Layton, who didn’t even break the top 10 with the 13th spot.
Level-5 head Akihiro Hinoapparently spotted a discrepancya few weeks back and asked for people to stop exploiting it, but it’s possible that people chose to take that as a sign to ignore it even further. If trickery really is at play here, it’s a bit of a disappointment as I would have loved to see arealLevel-5 poll — they really have a great collection of creations.
