Level 5 and Capcom have announced that they’re teaming up to bring together the Professor Layton franchise and the Ace Attorney series for the Nintendo 3DS. The games title translated is roughly “Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney.”
The game’s story has Professor Hershel Layton and Phoenix Wright (Ryuichi Naruhodo in the Japanese version) finding themselves in a different world. They come to the medieval city of Labyrinth City, where reality and illusions are intertwined. This strange town is also home to witches, who hide in the shadows, and is a place where magic is real. It has also been home to a number of impossible occurrences of late.
The city is controlled by a villain named Story Teller. The story he writes with his pen becomes reality as the future of the world.
Layton will find himself faced with all new puzzles. As for Phoenix Wright, the person who seeks his help this time has been accused of witch craft.
I hope Capcom changes their mind, and releases it outside of Japan
At the moment, it’s Japan exclusive. Capcom has stated that if they get enough comments on their Capcom-Unity post of the news, they’ll make it an international release. So get going! XD

When I check it at first, like 3-4 hours ago, there were 396 comments. Right now, there 581 comments.
I love professor Layton. his games are the best puzzle game yet to face this planet earth! to be fair it’s because of him and mario why I even bother with my ds lol
Wtf? That sounds like the most ridiculous concept ever, lol
Hmmm….I think I should be tracking down some Professor Layton games, shouldn’t I? I haven’t gotten to play them, but I’ve heard nothing but good about them.

I’ve been looking into getting a copy of Curious Village, but I just don’t have the money. I’m $7 short from buying it online at Walmart.com, and I’m not sure if I can use two separate cards at checkout. See, I’ve got a few dollars on one card, and I have a $20 one that I got for pre-ordering Other M. I guess I just need to try it and see.
