Professor Layton Vs Phoenix Wright

[Not Thread Owner]

There may be a reason. Apparently the difference in art style between PW and Layton is explained in game.

Just love this fan art someone's done related to the whole Wright/ Layton crossover.

Wish this happened in the game

The Japanese version won't have an English language option like the old Phoenix Wright games, will it?

3DS is region locked

I wonder if this will have a nutty Layton ending or a sensible Wright ending.

[Keyboard Koala]

A wild new trailer appears!

I still think it's an odd and unholy clash of IP, but it's good to see Phoenix back. It'll be interesting to see how it works out, but I have better hope for the next solo game.

HURRY UP AND GIVE ME MORE PHOENIX, STRAIGHT INTO MY BRAAAAAAAIIIIIN!

80 minutes of footage, anyone?

[ThePixelbarks]

... They have voices! This feels so odd.

I skipped the last 2 Laytons & got put off of the Wright series in the very first game, but by all accounts this one starts out as Layton & then becomes Wright, almost like those 2 games in one cart you sometimes used to find.

This sounds ideal as I'm ready for a new Layton after taking a break from it, & if its designed to ease newcomers into it by using Hint Coins & the like I'm willing to give Wright another chance.

Goddamnit where is the English version of this game? If it doesn't come out soon I'm going to paint myself blue and take a protest dump outside the house of an employee of Capcom whose identity and address I am yet to determine.

It's a-coming! It's a-coming!

[Keyboard Koala]

With about 50% of it, I guess.

Just what the fuck are you, man?

This seems to be getting reasonable reviews. I've barely touched the downloadable PW game though so I'm probably going to skip it for now.

8s from both Eurogamer and NintendoLife

That gimmicky Eurogamer review is painful to read.

*waves* Sorry you didn't like it Harsin. They wanted something format breaking. If you want, I'll paraphrase it for you here:

"If you like Phoenix Wright and Layton games you will like this. If you don't like Phoenix Wright games, this will get on your tits. There are only 70 Layton puzzles, but there is a joke about stepladders for the Wright fanboys. Overall, I would give this game 8/10"

I know. That's not why I thought it was great.

[Harsin]

I feel bad now.
