The Professor Layton/Phoenix Wright Deathmatch Revealed
Hey, it’s a new trailer for the upcoming 3DS Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney (the gent better known in the U.S. as Phoenix Wright). Alas, despite the “vs.” in the title, Layton and Wright seem like they’re going to be working together to save a witch as opposed to Wright desperately trying to put the Professor behind bars before he solves a puzzle that results in the lawyer’s death. Still, this will probably be fun. And besides, it’s made by Level 5, who are also making the gorgeous Ghibli Ni no Kuni RPG, too. It’s like the entire Japanese videogame industry just gave all their awesome to Level 5, isn’t it? (Via Kotaku)
