Capcom and Level 5 released an official trailer and announcement in Japan last October that a Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney game would be coming out for the Nintendo 3DS sometime in 2011 in Japan. I’m bringing this to your attention now for a couple of reasons. One: We still don’t have a U.S. release date and Two: because Capcom thinks they needs to weigh interest before they consider releasing it here.
Weigh interest? These are arguably two of the most successful series of games to be featured on the Nintendo DS! The fact that they are coming together in a new game about a Witch Hunt, a Mysterious Book, and a girl who seeks to prove her innocence is amazing and should be extremely well received by fans of both Layton and Attorney. We are sure to see more of the ever-popular puzzles and trials that are abundant in the two series, and it would be really interesting to see how these two dynamic characters will interact with one another.
Catch the official trailer here. The cut-scene footage is stunning and the story looks phenomenal:
I for one would definitely buy this game if it got a U.S. release date. It looks like it’s going to be fantastic!
To give support for a U.S. Release Date: write to Capcom here. The Capcom Unity blog is the official blog of Capcom and is monitored by Capcom of America staff.
