Layton and Phoenix Wright Crossover Gets Revealed *Updated* on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Take a deep breath and try to relax for the next few moments you read this. Ready?... okay, today Level-5 held a press conference named Level-5 Vision, in which they revealed new titles that are currently in development by the company. During the presentation, a huge surprise arose and the company revealed that a new game is in the works, which crosses over two game series.

The Ace Attoreny designer, Shu Takumi, took to the stage, along with Level-5 CEO, Akihiro Hino and announced that Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright will be appearing in a new game together. The game is set to hit Nintendo's new handheld, the Nintendo 3DS. The Japanese title has also been announced as Layton Kyouju vs Gyakuten Saiban, but no English title has been officially confirmed yet.

The games story will see the pair go to a different world, that features a medieval styled look to it.

A teaser site has also been put in place.

This is the most exciting news in videogames, for the whole of this year. It's more exciting than E3, for me.

I've literally been shaking with excitement.

This is very possibly the greatest gaming announcement of all time.

I can barely comprehend this games existence, but oh fuck.
I've lost count of how many times I've had to change my pants today.

This game's going to be so awesome...

Fantasy Life has switched platforms and is now a 3DS game - there will be no DS version.

Time Travellers has been confirmed as a 3DS game, as many expected it was previously.

3DS Code 2578-3122-0744

I have yet to play any game in either the Ace Attorney or Professor Layton series. But even the few responses to this news from you guys has made me think I really need to find a copy of them.

Yea, I'm right there with you. Though, my problem is that there are too many great games I don't have yet and more coming out constantly. I just found a copy of The World Ends With You(which still needs to arrive) and money is getting really tight, especially because I need to save up for the 3DS.

Haha, great idea. I've never played either of those game series, but it looks really interesting.

Mush 19.10.2010#9

Lol, we haven't seen the rest of the Layton games in the west yet and they've announced ANOTHER one?! D: Mind you, I guess it's okay since it isn't part of the main series.

Azuardo 20.10.2010#10

Yeah, the prices I've seen for both series' games haven't been particularly low, but I will make sure to eventually get around to bagging them and playing them.

I too have an absolute ton of games in my collection that I need to play - mostly PS2 and DS games, so any of these games will just get added to the pile.

That said, I'm gonna look online right now for them and see what prices I can find.

Edit: Ugh, too expensive :/ Anyone willing to sell these games cheap? XD

If you have an iThing or a Wii you could download the first 3 Ace Attorney games for pretty cheap.

However you'd have to get Investigations and Apollo Justice on DS.

This has officially sparked a C3gasm.

It requires great courage to look at oneself honestly, and forge one's own path.

Two of my favourite series all in one? HOLY SH-BOOOOOOM.

Sorry that I'm overreacting, but this is FREAKING EPIC. JUST. EPIC. I mentioned how epic PW gameplay and PL gameplay would be together, but now my dreams have come true <33333

All I need is for Edgey and Pearly and Gummy with the PW gang, and lets add Flora in too. Even it they're just cameos that be epic. Capcom, Level 5, you can have all the money I ever earn for eternity. DO WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNT. Smilie DDDDDDD..... Smilie

I haven't been this excited in a long time! Smilie

I've realised we've already had a cream pie fest on this thread, but I'd like to add my entry into the contest. I better get my pants washed quickly before they start to harden. Smilie

The former top user was Keven! You'd probably give birth to yourself 1000 times over until you sprout wings to fly away into the fading sun, that or you'd just turn into a lesbian. Who knows @_@ - L, 12/06/09
