Lady Layton confirmed for 2017 global release, details, subbed trailer

court-records-net:

Level-5 have confirmed that Lady Layton: The Millionaire Ariadone’s Conspiracy will see global release in 2017! From their PR: 

As one of LEVEL-5’s masterpieces, the PROFESSOR LAYTON series of puzzle adventure games has sold more than 15.5 million units worldwide to date. Its newest official sequel, Lady Layton: The Millionaire Ariadone’s Conspiracy — available on Nintendo 3DS/Android/iOS — was announced to be released in Spring 2017 in Japan. Not only will the main character switch from ‘Professor Layton’ (Hershel Layton) to ‘Kat’ (Katrielle Layton), many of its characters will be brand new. The story will focus less on dynamic problem-solving and more on solving multiple mystery cases observed in the everyday lives of Londoners, which will bring a faster tempo and more comical tone to the series. It will be more familiar — and funnier — than ever, while maintaining an adventurous quality. The creators of the puzzles and brain-teasers, the core element of the series, will also be new. Please look forward to the new PROFESSOR LAYTON series, targeting a Western release in 2017.

In addition, a subbed version of the trailer is now available:

Lady Layton announced (3DS/Android/iOS, 2017)

This isn’t technically a Layton site, but hey, it’s got a certain connection to AA, wouldn’t you agree?

Tonight, Level-5 announced the latest main Layton game: Lady Layton: The Millionaire King Ariadne’s Plot! (Try not to read too much into the “King” part, this is a literal translation and Ariadne is a girl’s name, so we don’t know yet who this refers to.)

The game focuses on Layton’s daughter, Catoleil Layton (romanization to be confirmed) and sees a return to the adventure-and-puzzle style of the original series.

The game will be released in Japan in spring of next year, available not only on 3DS but also iOS and Android devices.  A localization is yet to be announced, but Level-5 trademarked “Lady Layton” in Europe recently.

Check out the first trailer below (note that at time of post, this is a livestream recording and not an official upload):

hello yes hi everyone

just so you know

I just released another Weird (short) Game, entitled the house.

it is a glorified walking simulator in which you explore a house that you have recently moved into. there’s not really a huge overarching point to it or anything; I made it because I was feeling Melancholic™ and had an entire Emotion that needed expressing.

anyway.

I hope you like it!

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice comes west in September

court-records-net:

Not twelve hours after the demo leaked the name, Capcom has formally announced Ace Attorney 6 will be localized as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice!

From the PR:

SAN FRANCISCO — May 11, 2016 — Today, Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, has confirmed that the much-anticipated next installment in the Ace Attorney® courtroom drama series will make its way to North America and Europe as Phoenix Wright®: Ace Attorney® – Spirit of Justice. This narrative adventure stars beloved defense attorneys Phoenix Wright and Apollo Justice and sees the return of many familiar faces alongside some interesting new additions. The title will be released as a digital download in the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS™ family of systems in North America and Europe in September this year at an MSRP of $29.99 / £24.99 / €29.99.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice sees Phoenix in a brand new location: a courtroom situated in the Kingdom of Khura’in, origin of the Kurain Channeling Technique, where mysterious séance trials decide the fate of all defendants. Brand new to the series is the Divination Séance gameplay mechanic that allows the player to revisit the last moments of a victim’s life. Players must fight to unravel the discrepancies and contradictions between the Royal Priestess’s Insight and what is shown in the séance. Meanwhile, defense attorney Apollo Justice faces his own challenges holding down the fort at the Wright Anything Agency, as he takes on a case that will have explosive implications. Both our heroes are joined by a host of returning friends and adversaries in their fight to bring about justice.

The new game is filled with puzzling cases to solve using popular investigative techniques from previous installments. More details on gameplay features will be revealed in the coming months, so stay tuned!

We also get a few names in the trailer - Leifa’s official transliteration is Rayfa Padma Khura’in, and Bokuto is Ahlbi Ur’gaid!

More to come over the next few months!
