A puzzle with a hint of objection? count me in!

This is so out of nowhere it summons me back from sleep.

Whoa. This is... Amazing.

The concept of this kind of crossover is simply amazing.

VS (checks title correctly, three times)? Looks like it's the battle of intelligence, and nobody's done it yet. This is gonna kill my wallet when I get the 3DS.

First, Megaman Legends 3 and NOW a Layton/Phoenix Wright crossover?

The 3DS is a miracle sent down from the heavens.

Oh god...

This is an incredibly wonderful surprise! I look forward to more news

It's kind of weird seeing two very different art styles in one like this.

I still approve of this though.

The final title announced at today's Level-5 Vision press conference was the event's biggest surprise. Level-5 and Capcom have teamed up for a crossover between Professor Layton (Layton Kyouju in Japanese) and Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Kenji).

The new 3DS title is titled "Layton Kyouju vs Gyakuten Saiban." An official English name hasn't been announced, but just as a placeholder, one could refer to the project as "Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney."

What are Layton and Phoenix Wright pointing at?

Ace Attorney designer Shu Takumi made an appearance at Level-5 Vision to announce the project alongside Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino. Takumi is heading up scenario work on the new game.

Official materials released by Level-5 promise a game that that puts players up against puzzles with contradictions. The "puzzle" and "contradiction" theme are recognizable as, respectively, key words from Layton and Ace Attorney.

The game's story has Professor Hershel Layton and Phoenix Wright (Ryuichi Naruhodo in the Japanese version) finding themselves in a different world. They come to the medieval city of Labyrinth City, where reality and illusions are intertwined. This strange town is also home to witches, who hide in the shadows, and is a place where magic is real. It has also been home to a number of impossible occurrences of late.

The city is controlled by a villain named Story Teller. The story he writes with his pen becomes reality as the future of the world.

Layton will find himself faced with all new puzzles. As for Phoenix Wright, the person who seeks his help this time has been accused of witch craft.

The trial that takes place in this world is "Majo Saiban," or "Witch Trial."

The term "Witch Trial" will be familiar to those who've been paying attention to Capcom's recent Ace Attorney developments. Capcom recently hinted at an upcoming game announcement at the Ace Attorney portal. An image for the game showed a book with the word "Witch Trial." It looks like the identity of the mystery game has been revealed.

Level-5 opened a teaser site for the game today. The site will get some actual content tomorrow (10/20).

Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney is currently date TBA. Level-5 will be publishing the game.

Only thing I don't like so far is Layton being prosecutor instead of partnering with Phoenix, but well, the VS part of the title has to go somewhere.

Btw, anyone knows if the full trailer has appeared somewhere or will we have to wait for the site to open to watch it?

It'll probably wind up being a "friendly rival" kind of thing like with Edgeworth.

Site is up, open the book and hit the tab right of the "top" one (movie) for the trailer

Well, tomorrow came faster than I expected. Thank you Japan time.

Oh I'm sure of that since we see them work together, it's just the whole "Layton trying to convict an innocent (I don't think anyone believes we'll have another Engarde this time) which will for sure end in death" thing that feels wrong to me, even if I'm sure it's to find the truth just like Edgeworth.

Also, was that a Cornered remix I heard during the objection?

Phi · **Reply #21 on:** October 20, 2010, 04:14:13 AM

In case someone is unable view the trailer from the site.

Nothing new at all, now, AMERICAN Phoenix speaking full sentences? That will be a first.

Ben Judd (the English voice in the DS games) would be great.
