Level-5 Vision 2008 (shown above) and Level-5 Vision 2009 both had surprise musical performances. What surprises await this year?

Level-5 is holding its annual "Level-5 Vision" game announcement press conference this year as well. The publisher shared first details today.

This year's installment, Level-5 Vision 2010, will take place on October 19 at U Port Hall in Tokyo's Gotanda area. The conference will kick off at 19:00 and end at 21:30.

The official event page lists the following games for the event:

• Ni no Kuni (DS)
• Ni no Kuni (PS3)
• Professor Layton Miracle Mask (3DS)
• Inazuma Eleven Strikers (Wii)
• Fantasy Life (DS)
• Little Battlers (PSP)
• Mystery Room (DS)

(I've added the platform names myself. Except for Ni no Kuni, platforms aren't listed at the event page.)

In addition to these, Level-5 promises at least four new game announcements. The publisher will also show games for its "ROID" mobile portal.

Last year's Level-5 Vision had two showings, one for the press and one for the general public. The Level-5 Vision 2010 page only lists one showing. This will be open to 200 lucky members of the public, selected via drawing. Those interested in putting their name down can do so here
