The final Professor Layton game is heading to 3DS this year

by

professor_layton_and_the_azran_legaciesLevel-5′s Professor Layton series has been an annual affair, first on DS, and now on Nintendo 3DS, for six years, with the final game in the puzzling prequel trilogy - Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy - arriving later this year.

Will we see the professor return on Nintendo 3DS next year? Unless Level-5 begins work on a new saga, or works with Nintendo to localise Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney, perhaps you’d like to see something a little different from Level-5 – maybe a Layton spin-off series on Wii U?

Sadly, the late 2013 release date for Azran Legacy only applies to Europe, as North American puzzle fans must wait until 2014 for their next Layton fix.

Review

Airports are tedious. They’re full of queuing, rushing and, if you’re like me and are nervous about flying, airports are also full of worrying. Aeroporter is similar in a way. It’s a game full of waiting, hurrying and stress. But I’d struggle to call Aeroporter tedious. Frequently frustrating, sure, but never tedious.

News: Aero Porter, Pokémon and a pair of demos head up this week’s Nintendo downloads – full line-up

by

As us Europeans head into the final stretch before the launch of Wii U this Friday, this week’s Nintendo download update is curiously lacking a launch line-up for the new system’s digital store. That’s not to say that the 3DS isn’t poised to have as good a week as ever, though – here’s what’s out on Thursday: Continue reading →

Whilst the retail package launched in Japan back in May, Aero Porter is arriving in Western Nintendo eShops on 29th November, for £4.49 / $4.99 / €4.99. Continue reading →

News: Level-5 Hoping to Localise the Fourth Guild01 Mini-Game, Guild02

Here’s the publisher’s response: Continue reading →

Review

As a mini-game that makes up a quarter of the Japanese-only retail release titled Guild01 from Level-5, Liberation Maiden is Suda51′s contribution to the compilation; which is arriving on Western eShops as a standalone download. Despite costing less than a quarter of the price of your average retail title, the biggest concern with Liberation Maiden is that it doesn’t stand up by itself without Aero Porter and Crimson Shroud.
