[3DS] Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy confirmed for Western release

[3DS] Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy confirmed for Western release

Professor Layton's final adventure, Azran Legacy, was confirmed for Western release during the Nintendo Direct. The news will come as a relief for fans of Professor Layton in both Europe and North America, but it comes with a pinch of bad news.

A press release has confirmed that the game will release in Europe on the 8th of November both physically and digitally, but the American release date appears to be 2014 at this point. I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping that this changes, because it is quite strange that Europe has been receiving so many large Nintendo releases ahead of our American brethren recently (including Pikmin 3 and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team).

Do you think we'll get any additional doses of Layton goodness after this game?

[3DS] Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney coming to the West in 2014!

[3DS] Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney coming to the West in 2014!
So, did you think that Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney wouldn't make its way over to our shores? If so...
That's right, Satoru Shibata had the good news for 3DS owners and adopted the appropriate style to deliver it as seen in the image above.

Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney will arrive sometime in early 2014 for both North America and Europe, the game has been heavily requested for localisation ever since its release in Japan in 2012.

Mixing puzzles with court trials the game is certain to be worth checking out, especially considering the legacy that both Layton and Wright now have on Nintendo handhelds.

[3DS] New video for Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney reveals puzzle gameplay

[3DS] New video for Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney reveals puzzle gameplay
Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney is shaping up to be one of the best 3DS games we'll ever play, but up to this point we've yet to see much of the puzzle gameplay that the Professor is bringing into the mix.

Thankfully that changes today with Level-5 releasing a new gameplay video showing off the puzzles.

I'm definitely picking this up as soon as a localised version is announced, until then the Japanese will be able to pick the game up from November 29th.

Thanks for the heads up, Siliconera.

Smash Bros. July: It's time for Professor Layton to join the Brawl

Smash Bros. July: It's time for Professor Layton to join the Brawl

[Welcome to Smash Bros. July. Throughout this month, vgZero will be full of articles all about your favourite Nintendo fighting game. Expect lots of speculation about what the future holds, as well as some insight into the series' history.]
Professor Layton is a top-hat-wearing fellow whom made a name for himself by solving puzzles. With the help of his young apprentice, Luke, Professor Layton has been on a number of critically acclaimed adventures on the Nintendo DS. The series has enjoyed a surge in popularity over the years, and we think it's time for the Professor himself to make his debut appearance in the Smash Bros. franchise.

At first glance, Layton isn't a natural fighter. But we believe that Nintendo could play to his strengths and create an elegant move-set that would make him a worthy playable character. Unlike other fighters, Layton wouldn't have an arsenal of weapons at his disposal. Thankfully, given his body type, Layton's long limbs would make him a lethal threat in close quarters combat. As a bonus, it would be nice to watch him throw his top-hat at someone, only for it to return to his head like a boomerang. If Nintendo get his animations absolutely right, Layton could add a great layer of class to the existing roster.

The Professor Layton series is also known for its beautifully hand-drawn characters and environments, which would be a perfect fit for some Layton themed Smash stages. Not to mention the stellar soundtrack that would come with it.

We already know that the new Smash Bros. experience is coming a Nintendo handheld for the very first time with the 3DS, so who better to grace the series than Professor Layton?
