  • Mike

  • sonic-boy-98

    • drwill439

      ^This deserves a like.

    • SaulGingR

      Same i must own this.

      ^ Also me i like

    • Fayt

      It is getting localized. Level 5 said they would localize all their games from now on a few months back.

  • PressLtoLP

    OBJECTION! This is gonna be awsome! Soooo hope it comes to Europe

  • Fenrir

    I want this game.
    Localize it, please!

  • Luke

    I just had a tiny orgasm from the mix of those two themes.

  • DavidW

    This game is going to be great if they capture the drama (and the dramatic finger pointing) that we all want.

    • Thomas Jones

      and it will be in 3D

    • Wendel Rebel

      I suggest wearring fingerproof glasses gentleman!

    • NAX

      ^this^

  • Sarah

    I love that music. So much. It makes me want to buy it just for that…

    • http://www.gamesradar.com GameManiac

      Yet another soundtrack to add to my collection.

  • Elctric

    yippee! but my 3ds is still stolen >:(

    • blacKnight

      stolen? Why did you lack security of one of the best systems here on Earth?!! haha! just exaggerating. xD

    • MxplayerX

      find the guy and take him down….

    • DavidW

      Hire Phoenix Wright to get to the bottom of this case!

    • giro

      wow what douche sorry man that sucks

    • Belinni

      Wouldn’t Prof. Layton be a better person to hire? What with being a detective and what not?

      Phoenix could be his lawyer though, get the 3DS back AND cover expenses.

    • miiworld2

      WHAT?! >:O
      But we just Friend-Coded! HOW did that happen?
      grr…

    • miiworld2

      @Elctric you’re Dorian right?
      Just sent a 3DS txt message to the thief who stole your 3DS.
      He’ll get what’s coming to him >:(

      Sorry for the loss though <:(

  • Han Solo

    I’m a huge Layton fan… not so much Ace Attorney… Looks good, but not don’t know if I’ll get it (If it even comes here).

    • TheFreak

      getitgetitgetitgetit.

      if you buy it, that will push level-5 to localize games faster etc, hence it can only do good.

    • Xarreno

      Give Ace Attorney a try!

  • TheFreak

    I take it you’ve never played a Layton game?
    Spoilers: THEYRE AWESOME.

    Professor LAyton is a badass. In other news, THIS GAME IS BADASS.

  • Xarreno

    @TheFreak

    What you mean to say is that Ace Attorney is badass and Professor Layton is badass. Which makes this game BADASSS!…………………… wait that wasn’t any better… let me rephrase that.

    Which… makes this game… more BADASTICALLY FANTASTICULAR THAN THE TUBULOUSNESS OF ANYTHING THAT HAS EVER BEEN A PROFESSOR LAYTON OR PHOENIX WRIGHT GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Tidasa

    If it ever get localized i will buy this on day 1!!!!!

  • Nutmeg

    looks awesome!!

  • ColorblindMonk

    We need a trailer to see on our 3DS’s. I need to see Wright objectioning in 3D.

    • KingJames88

      Objecting

  • FJ LInk

    The music… It sounds so “Zelda 2″ like, doesn’t it?

    • adus1991

      It sounds more like music from Dark Cloud and Dark Chronicle (LEVEL 5 games)

  • hollowVX

    don’t get too close with your 3ds top screen
    that spiky hair might hurt your eyes

    • Crazyhobo100

      And I thought my spiky hair might hurt someones eyes lol

  • pstriple

    never played layton games but Im a fan of phoenix

  • Mr-X

    hmm i never played the previous series but watching this so called gameplay footage shown nothing about the game, if i didnt know it was a game i would guess this was a manga (and i like thoese) so what is the game about really? Is it adventure, puzzle, RPG, a mix of the above…?

    • Redox Indicator

      A mix between a puzzle game and an interactive novel.

    • shadow

      sound interesting, cheers

  • Sean

    eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    etc etc

  • Sean

    Also don’t get me wrong, I’ve played Layton games and enjoyed them….but I’m firmly on Team Phoenix :3

  • DK

    This game is looking sick! Sadly I’ve never played an Ace Attorney game but I am a HUGE fan of Professor Layton so I will be picking this up if/when it gets localised. Any suggestions as to which Ace Attorney is best to start with?

    • celery

      I recommend you start with the first in the series. I am an Ace Attorney fan and I’ve never played Professor Layton. I am thinking of getting the game coming out next month.

    • Lucas

      Ah, I recomend starting with the first one, as cameos are common in this series, and they will be more funny if you know the characters. that being said, I started with Miles Edgeworth, and later played all main ace attorney games starting with the first one

    • Jimmy da Elf

      GS3 (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trial’s and Tribulations) is easily my favorite game, but the plot is easier to understand if you’ve played the first two games. The first game was pretty good, but the interface became more polished as they released more games.
      Just get whichever one you can find for a reasonable price, I’d say. You’re -going- to play all of them if you like the Layton series.

    • Redox Indicator

      You certainly should start with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (the first one). It’s a bit hard to find for the DS, but you can also buy it for 1000 Wii Points.

    • Josias

      start with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

      is the first game of the series… AWESOME XD

    • giro

      number 1

  • http://okashiicrafts.wordpress.com Amanda

    Looks awesome! I want to give Ace Attorney a try before I buy it though ^_^

  • Lucas

    this game will be so awesome, I’m a huge PW fan, tried to play the Layton ones, and I like him, but what I like more is the story, which is not the focus on the Layton series, serious , can’t stand all these puzzles…

  • Milo-

    If this comes out in america, I’m buying 30 copies.

  • cory

    Good god. it’s beautiful D’:

  • Zack

    There’s someı̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸thing on your screen.

  • Crazyhobo100

    This game looks awesome!

  • Crazyhobo100

    Anyone want to play Animal Crossing or Mario Kart with me? Here’s my FC 0860-3256-3400 I’ll register the people that register me tomorrow or Saturday:D

  • marie

    well if it somehow doesn’t get localized. this is the kind of game that would be fan translated at some point. so we’ll be getting it no matter what someday.

  • Anon

    Phoenix looked better as a sprite but I’m still as exited about this as the rest of you.

  • rulerofyourface

    Layton looks so stupid as a 3D modal, good gracious.

  • EpicLight

    OBJECTION!

  • FlyGuy95

    looks silly. definitely getting it if it comes to US.

  • Gideon00

    Jizz in my pants.

  • Sonic260

    I’ve been an Ace Attorney fan for a while, and I recently bought my first Prof. Layton game. I loved it. I can’t wait until The Last Spector is released. I’ll definetely be looking forward to this game, too.

  • Mailman

    Omg, I got shivers when they both did the trademark finger point! :D

  • Belinni

    How awesome would it have been if the first trailer of this game to come out had Phoenix in the normal courtroom fashion they show in this trailer but then suddenly Layton walks over as he does here, then the name of the game is revealed along side the company names?

    … Perhaps I think too much about sudden epicness.

    • Kazuki

      That’s better than thinking about sudden failure.

  • drwill439

    I havent played either of the games before. Which is better, Layton or Wright?

    • Marquis

      They’re entirely different series Layton is a Puzzler series; Wright, or rather, “Ace Attorney,” is a Visual Novel series.
      It really depends on which genre you prefer more. I highly recommend both, because they’re two of the DS’s best series :)

  • http://www.gamesradar.com GameManiac

    i’m so glad I’m into both series.

  • Marquis

    TAKE MY MONEY TAKE MY MONEY TAKE MY MONEY

    …Oh, sorry, could not containt my fangasm.
    I love Phoenix and the Knight’s animations. The whole things is very smooth :D

  • Rich

    Phoenix looks stoned in the video thumbnail haha.

  • tappy

    greatest gamin cross over of all time!!
    im so excited, if they dont localise this then they are fools and will miss out on heaps of cashola!

  • Soeroah

    Dual Objection Fingerpoint Maneuver!

    Must has.

  • http://Www.com Baily

    There truely is no better combinatio

  • chico

    These games make me want to be a lawyer or detective of sorts… Solving mysteries, saving people, finding the real criminal behind the murder.

    Wow, just thinking about it gives me shivers down my spine!

  • http://www.mykobito.com Red

    Poor Layton is so short….
    Looks like another great game for both series. If only it’ll come to the US..

  • Jarrah

    Better be localized

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/justiceflares Justiceflares

    HOLY CRABS

  • infernoflash

    Never played a Ace Attorney game, but i have played The Curious Village and it was awesome. Gonna get the rest of the series and proabaly gonna pick this one up.

  • http://geekvoice.tumblr.com Elfteiroh

    Ooooh!” I’m crying! So beautiful!
    Phoenix translate better in 3D than Layton thought.

  • Johnny

    These two seem like such strange games to go together but at the same time it seems like they’re perfect for one another.
