Phoenix Wright versus Professor Layton

[Yoshi]

Now this is a potential killer app portable game. These might be the two best series on the DS, and now we get them combined and in 3D? I just hope the localization doesn't take forever.

Phoenix Wright meet Professor Layton. Capcom's lawyer is going to appear in a game with Level-5's famous puzzle-solving sleuth.

Today in Tokyo, Level-5 revealed a Professor Layton and Ace Attorney crossover Nintendo 3DS game currently titled "Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney". Ace Attorney creator Takumi Shuu will be working on the title, and the game's theme will be puzzles that are full of contradictions. Sounds perfect for a legal puzzle mash-up.


The game is set in Labyrinth City. The background is medieval, and the city is populated with witches. The villain is named the "story teller" and whatever he writes with his pen becomes reality.


The in-game trial is called "The Trial of the Witch", since Phoenix Wright's client is accused of being a witch.

For the 3DS.

I played through the first game of both franchise, and couldn't wait for either one to end. One has no gameplay, the other has simplistic puzzles.

I am surprised that TNL would love these games considering that we are supposed to be more critical on this type of casual gaming wrapped in an admittedly slick presentation.

Phoenix Wright is an interactive graphic novel with obvious ploys into a self serving sense of intelligence. Yes, the gameplay boils down to just clicking an item and presenting it, but what's really happening is you know why you are and what it means, you reward your own comprehension and problem solving skills even though there's only one right way to do it. It's a great way to compel you into caring about what's going on, and it helps that it's funny with good characters and music to boot.

TNL isn't critical, TNL is just hypocritical. and stupid.

Also, this is awesome, shut up kinofu.
