It’s been announced for sometime, but since I never made a post about it and some new info just showed up, here’s my…

…Professor Layton games and movie post!

For those who don’t know, Professor Layton started as a famous puzzle/quiz (IQ test) game for the Nintendo DS.
It’s now on the third installment (in Japan).
Here, watch the trailers:

Professor Layton and the Curious Village (first game) – unfortunately, couldn’t find a subbed version

Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box (second game)

Professor Layton and The Last Time Travel (third game)

Level 5, the game’s developer announced a live-action movie last year… but no details were given.

Dunno if the live-action will still be done, but Level 5 announced an Anime movie now.

Level 5 is becoming more and more famous with several excellent game titles.
I already wrote about them about a game being made in collaboration with Studio Ghibli called Ninokuni: The Another World.

Finally, about the anime movie:
Title – Professor Layton: The First Movie
Producer – Studio TOHO
Voices – by original cast
Story – brand new one
To be released – January 2010 in Japan

Long wait, but well worth it if the anime keeps the game quality.
