Level 5 has revealed via the Professor Layton and the Spectre’s Call launch trailer that Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle for the Nintendo 3DS will finally be heading to Europe sometime next year. Sadly there’s no information regarding a North American release date.

Level 5 has released a trailer for their forthcoming RPG Time Travelers which is due to come out on the Nintendo 3DS sometime next year. Along with Level 5′s other RPG Fantasy Life these are two upcoming Nintendo 3DS titles to get excited about.

Level 5 has showcased the first footage of Guild 01 a Nintendo 3DS project by an all-star team of developers including No More Heroes creator Suda51 and Yasumi Matsuno, who produced Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story among others. Guild 01 is a compilation title composed of four separate games from the four separate creators. It’s due out sometime next year and sounds promising.

Level 5 has revealed the first trailer for its forthcoming RPG Fantasy Life for the Nintendo 3DS.The game is being co-developed by Brownie Brown and Level-5. The game was previously being developed for the Nintendo DS. Fantasy Life is due out next year.

This weeks edition of Japanese gaming bible Famitsu sheds light on Level 5′s upcoming game Time Travellers. The game is being developed for Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita and the PlayStation Portable. Time Travellers is currently geared up for a 2012 release.

The story behind Time Travelers kicks off a few years in the future as a mysterious hole called the “Lost Hole” appears in the skies above Tokyo accompanied by an explosion. Central Tokyo is destroyed, and many lives are lost.

Things jump 18 years, to 4/28/2031. Tokyo is a futuristic city, with holographic signs filling the streets, and a building called the “Space Elevator” rising from Tokyo Bay. While there’s a “space” in the name, the building is only 2,000 meters high. It serves as a power source for the city.

Level 5 and Capcom have released a trailer for Professor Layton Vs Ace Attorney on the Nintendo 3DS. The game is due out sometime in 2012 in Japan but there’s still no official word on a Western release. Let’s hope Capcom and Level 5 announce something soon!

Online gaming publication Games Radar noticed an English-language press release for Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney at this years Tokyo Game Show. The interesting thing is that it notes that “English names are TBD,” which presumable means that Level 5 and Capcom will eventually localize the game for the West. What do you think?

Level 5 has released a trailer for the beautiful Ni no Kuni. The trailer is for the PlayStation 3 version of the game but Studio Ghibli and Level 5 have also worked on a version for the Nintendo DS which came out in Japan on December 9th. Personally I don’t think I’ve seen a better looking game, what do you all think?

Viz Media has announced that it’s bringing Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva to North America. The anime movie takes place between the events of Professor Layton and the Last Specter and Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. The film has been a runaway success in Japan and Level 5 has already commissioned a sequel. Anyone thinking of picking this up when it goes on sale later this year?

The Professor Layton series is already two editions ahead in Japan with those of us in the West still awaiting the last two episodes. Rumour has it Level 5 may see fit to bring the fourth game in the franchise to the Nintendo 3DS. Would you rather see it on the Nintendo DS or the Nintendo 3DS?
