I bring you an interview of the CoroCoro January 2013 where there is an interview to Akihiro Hino and I am a little shocked in respect of a portion of the interview... do remember demand that SEGA started against Level-5 for breach of patent? Today has been the resolution of the case in Japan and the Court has decreed that Level-5 must pay compensation of 900 million yen for having used a patent of control using the DS touch screen with your finger or stylus to control the characters which has led to Level-5 bankrupt. I quote the part in question: "what is that looks to the future of the saga now that they already finished with Chrono Stone? Do you really believe that they can create something so amazing in terms of the history of the saga?

-The truth I was craneando during the weeks following the time when the game entered phase gold and nothing came to my mind. Other FFI would have been too easy with the dark that we are turning the secrets within the series. I was so for weeks until it was the demand for SEGA. Initially not we worry much because the patent was quite absurd. Touch controls are fundamental for any Nintendo DS game. Or thats what we thought... but... but?

- But the Court did not see the same as us. Laws are laws and no one is above them. We have compensated for 900 million yen, and not only that. They have ordered the arrest of the saga Inazuma Eleven production unless we accede to be paid for each copy of the game sold that use the patent from now onwards. We can not afford it after the demand. Level-5 has gone bankrupt and I am very sad because already had many plans for the next series after InaGO. Even the animation of this series not may be completed in saga Chrono Stone because we don't have the money to pay for the production team."

It is quite shocking news for my fan of Inazuma Eleven... in truth I do not know that to say on the subject. You can read more at the link at the end of the publication. Here are the scans of the magazine and a translation on tumblr.

We will keep them informed on the matter during the day.

Strangely enough, I can't find any scans on the site....
