This game from developer Level 5 (The dudes behind the Dark Cloud series) was announced for US release. I've heard Chris Kohler raving about it since the beginning of the year and after reading this and other previews, I'm excited about it. It drops this year.

I'll be picking it up on day one (along with SSBB). I've been extremely interested in this game for ages. I love the art style.

Hmmm...

*opens up excel sheet*

Yes, I think I can fit it into my gaming budget!

I'm buying it for the music alone

This is an adventure game, right?

I MUST OWN IT

Is this the only Professor Layton thread we have? That's ridiculous!

GameStop.com (of all places) has a great preview video up on their product page for this game. Check it out! But be sure not to purchase it from them because they're doing that retarded thing where they sell a $30 game for $35.

Instead, get it from one of these fine retail establishments.

Best Buy
Circuit City
Amazon
Walmart

I picked this one up today. Awesome game so far, but then I loved Hotel Dusk and Trace Memory...

ShyGuy · « **Reply #7 on:** February 06, 2008, 06:31:22 PM »

The previews I've seen so far make this game look more like a puzzle game ala 7th Guest than an adventure game with dialog trees.

Which were both awesome games, what's your point?

Svevan · « **Reply #9 on:** February 09, 2008, 10:16:34 AM »

Trace Memory is awful.

Next week, puzzle game purchase for me. This should be a good distraction from Advance Wars, although I'm always up for a Wifi match anytime. Has anyone heard whether or not the game will feature downloadable puzzles like it did in Japan?

I've heard the voice acting is actually good, can anyone confirm this?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2008, 06:17:41 AM »

This game seems to be getting a lot of buzz. I don't get it, other DS adventure and puzzle games are ignored. Is it the Top Hat?

Edit: I guess my previous title was confusing and disrespectful to the spirit of NWR. Thanks for fixing the horrible title re-educating me! Feel free to delete or merge this thread, perhaps create the official NWR Professior Layton instead of this one. Whichever serves the forums better.

probably just because it's made by Level 5...

I wear my foam Professor Layton top hat all over the office. It makes me feel special. Sometimes I hide things in it.

UncleBob · « **Reply #15 on:** February 14, 2008, 07:30:59 AM »

It's such a great game.

TheFleece · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2008, 07:32:42 AM »

I bought mine from the Nintendo Store and they made a big fuss about me buying the game. It turned out that I was the first person to buy the game. They took a lot of pictures of me in the foam hat and made me sign some forms. My geek badge will be printed somewhere for you all to point and laugh soon.

LuigiHann · « **Reply #17 on:** February 14, 2008, 07:57:01 AM »

I wish they'd promote Zack & Wiki like they're promoting this game. Still, from what little I played, it seems like it's a worthy cause.

Deguello · « **Reply #18 on:** February 14, 2008, 08:05:45 AM »

Nintendo's pushing Layton because they're publishing it. Zack and Wiki's "pushing" was something Capcom should have taken care of.

Bloodworth · « **Reply #19 on:** February 14, 2008, 08:51:08 AM »

I'm buying it sometime this week. Need something to keep me company on the plane to GDC.

Crimm · « **Reply #20 on:** February 14, 2008, 08:54:09 AM »

I'll tell you about it, but first I have a problem for you to solve...

Svevan · « **Reply #21 on:** February 14, 2008, 11:03:01 AM »

Oh, so that's why I didn't get a foam Layton hat with my review copy. I see how it is Pale.

Kairon · « **Reply #22 on:** February 14, 2008, 12:40:01 PM »

It'sd got voice-acted anime. That's why everyone's drooling.

Infernal Monkey · « **Reply #23 on:** February 14, 2008, 12:52:14 PM »

I need to import this with gusto. They should have renamed it to Awesome Training: Train Your Taste In Minutes A Day or something though.

I'm not impressed with the video, I actually like the puzzles because they're killing me and it's uncompromising against all gamers as there is no difficulty level. Two sequels have been confirmed as well.
