From the article (emphasis added):
Quote:
Musashi was the name of a Japanese destroyer — the sister ship to the Yamato

The ship wreckage was found last week, however recovery may not be possible.

How ironic Level-5 filed a trademark for a Musashi battleship video game at the same time that ship was just discovered off of the Philippines. I agreed with Hoppy800, I don't think salvaging may not be possible (or so I've heard from NHK World).

What curse? Level 5 main properties, Yokai Watch, Inazuma Eleven, Professor Layton, Danboard Senki... are big hits in almost every medium.

Yeah, but where are Inazuma Eleven and Danball Senki now? Pretty much dropped off the face of the Earth. Level 5 has this habit of just dropping their hot properties and moving on. There's no new games or anime for those properties on the horizon sadly

Level-5 dropped Inazuma Eleven, LBX and Layton because they weren't "hot properties" anymore. Game sales cratered with the company's annual release patterns.
