Professor Layton Vs. Phoenix Wright (Really)
First the good news: Really. this is really happening. Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney will be a Nintendo 3DS game, where you’ll be solving a crime by finding evidence and solving puzzles in a miz of both games (honestly, I’m not sure how accurate the “versus” part of the title is, but whatever). The bad news — Level 5 and Capcom swear the game will be Japan only. Obviously, they can change their minds, but I don’t know what they’d get out of announcing the game would only be released in Japan if it wasn’t true. So this trailer might be as close as we get. Why is Level 5 and Capcom taunting us with this amazing shit we can’t have? There’s a puzzle/crime worth solving. Thanks to Lyon for the tip.
