Professor Layton DS

[Griselda]

Anyone have any news regarding the release of the sequel to Professor Layton and the Curious Village?

I know the second and third games in the series have been released in Japan but I can't find anything indicating a release of the sequels to North America, aside from the little booklet included with the game that mentions the code you receive from the sequel (which unlocks some 'secret area' in the first game). I've checked the list of upcoming DS releases and just about any website I can think of but I have yet to find anything official, which worries me and makes me think the sequels will never be released here.

Subtitled trailer (fansub) of the sequel. It looks so good to me as a Layton fan.

Well, I know they mentioned they hoped to get the sequel out faster than they got the first game out, where translation took about a year. But the first game was also announced to come out in November, only to get pushed back to last February, so I guess the studio is being mindful not to announce anything until they are sure they'll make the release date.

I just realized its been about a year since the first one came out. God, I need my Layton fix so bad right now. I would kill to have the sequel come out.

Curse you for getting my hopes up. First game was all kinds of awesome, can't wait for this.

I loved the hell out of the first game. I've been waiting for the rest of the trilogy to come out since I finished the first one, a lot.

Ohhhhh yeah.

I've played through the entire trilogy, and the games only get better. Everything improves across the board and I think it'll be worth the wait if they release them in English. There's also a Professor Layton novel, and of course the movie coming out early next year.

I... I hate you.

Professor Layton: New Professor Layton Game Announced, First Of New Trilogy

Apparently Japan is already getting a 2nd Trilogy in the series.

Really hoping the others are released here as I recently started playing the game and I love it.

[Odesseiron]

I just picked this up the other day on a whim, for something to play on the bus. I've just started it, and I have to say, some of these puzzles make me feel like a dumbass. Then I realize the answers are retardedly simple (some of them, I'm sure they get harder) and want to slap myself in the face for not realizing it sooner.

Figured this warranted a necro/bump:

A Clue: Level 5 Lets Layton Sequel Hints Drop

Spoiler: show

But, now that the head man at Level 5 has said so, let it be known as true: Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box are going to the US "in the next six months."

Hino said during the main part of the lecture that he wants all six of the Layton games to come to the US and Europe.

[Warudo Ecksu]

fuck yes. we were talking about this game during raid tonight and i was like man i hope they release those in the US cuz the first one was awesome.

[Griselda]

Oh wow I'm so excited!!! In the next six months seems kinda strange to me because I haven't seen the Professor Layton game mentioned in any of the DS releases lists for this year but I'm glad it is coming and that there are hopes, if not plans, for all six games to be released here.

[Griselda]

A bit of a necro, but Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is now available for pre-order with the release date of 8/24/09. Lowest price I could find was on Amazon for $29.99.

[Pharaun]

Thanks for the info, need to get mine reserved asap, loved the first one.

[Parshias]

Game of the Century... at least until they translate the third one.

Best DS Bundle ever?

If anyone in the UK doesn't have a DS, you should get this.

[Parshias]

Big necro, but it came out today. Just finished the main story and WOW. Everything that was great in the first one is better in this game. Ending is really sweet. Easily like 5x the amount of animated scenes, and a lot of voice work in this one, too.

And I am psyched to think the third game pushes eveything even farther, apparently.

[MoogleAura]

Just wondering, where do I find the code in this game to unlock that secret room from the first game? =o

[Parshias]

Go under bonuses and go into this game's secret room. It will be on the top screen. Putting that code in the first game also gets you a code that unlocks ANOTHER code that you can use in "The Elysian Box" to get an extra puzzle in this game.

Started playing this with my bf last night. First thing I noticed was a lot more cut scenes. Really enjoying this game so far.

Spoiler: show

only disappointment was seeing that the password for curious village only unlocked some concept art, and pw for diabolical box is ONE puzzle but owell. can't complain too much since it's not that big of a deal
