Professor Layton Taking On Phoenix Wright In New Crossover

[drisky]

This seemed pretty obvious when level 5 announced they would be doing Ace Attorney, its good to see this considering gaming crossovers are rare, they both know that this will bring in both fan bases and make them money.

 

[TheDrunkNinja]

I smell shipping opportunities!

But seriously, I have no idea how the hell this would even work with the continuity of each series. If they can pull this off in a reasonable way, I'll be amazed.

 

[Declaro]

Oooh, I love the Prof. Layton games, so this...I didn't know my jaw could actually drop at gaming news, but it totally did, if only because this just seems so random and interesting.
If it turns out well, it'll be awesome! If it doesn't... well, that'll probably be exciting too, in a horrible way!

This is one of the few times I believe the phrase "nerdgasm" can be used without irony.

HOLE-EE-SHIT

Best thing ever

This is one of the few times I believe the phrase "nerdgasm" can be used without irony.

Seconded. I nerdgasmed...in my pants?

OH HELL YES!!!

 

[Trivun]

This will be the best DS game of the decade if it's pulled off right. Which is a given that it will be pulled off well, because let's face it, it's the dev teams behind Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright...

In other words, WOO-FREAKING-HOO!!!!!

 

[Stilt-Man]

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright has the potential to be the new standard in unlikely-yet-successful pairings. So long, chocolate and peanut butter.

I'm beyond excited about this. As if I didn't need another reason to pick up a 3DS.

 

[Xathos]

Man, the 3DS seems to be on a roll lately! First that Megaman Legends 3 announcement, now this? Super cool. I've only played one of the Professor Layton games, but I'm still trying to get the other two.

Also, are those cutscenes in the trailer really from the game? Cause I am in love with them!

 

[GrandmastahT]

YES. If this comes to 3DS that's one more reason to buy it.

 

[Timbydude]

I practically squealed like a little girl when I saw this headline.

There isn't any sort of debate in my mind as to whether or not this will be a Day 1 purchase.

*Clears throat*
SQEEEEEEEE!

We might have to be careful, that amount of concentrated awesomeness may bring about an awesome singularity.

 

[Galaxy613]

Damnnit. Looks like I need to start saving up for a 3DS. :|

 

[pneuma08]

Hey, Layton would definitely fit in a classic "VS" title. He's proven incredibly spry in the action sequences of his games.

 

[Electrogecko]

O....M....F....G......
I don't even know what to say. I didn't think I'd ever see Phoenix in action again.
+1 to my upcoming 3ds library.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

An expression of pure joy is permanently etched onto my face. Fucking. AWESOME! Hey, does this mean we'll get to hear the Ace Attorney crew actually speak?

 

[Atmos Duality]

The 3DS is up to 2 new titles now.
Give me 2 more (NEW, NOT REMAKES) games that are worth buying, and the 3DS is on my "Maybe" list.

Though that's a strong maybe at this point.

 

[Senaro]

I don't think I can get the money out of my wallet fast enough to buy this.

 

[thirdsonsaburo]

...this is officially the best idea for a DS game ever. Holy shit. Buying the hell out of it.
