Nintendo held another one if its Nintendo Direct presentations this morning, and while most of the news to come out of it was of interest to Nintendo super-fans only, there was at least one big announcement — Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright is coming to North America! This crossover between the top mystery-solvers on the DS/3DS came out in Japan back in 2012 and many assumed a localization just wasn’t happening (especially when Capcom seemingly passed the game over to instead localize Ace Attorney 5).
But no! It’s happening! Hit the jump for a trailer…
You know, I’ve never actually been that into Professor Layton, but I can’t not buy a Phoenix Wright game, so it seems I’ll be getting my first serious taste of the top-hatted one. I guess these crossover things actually work!
