Parked between San Francisco's North and West Halls was the above curious vehicle: a box truck wrapped in Professor Layton branding and sporting an enormous display on the side looping a promo for the game. What's inside the truck? An army of Segway-equipped spokespeople handing out Professor Layton postcards, of course.

Those guys were nuts. I probably got stopped about 5 times, and the Segways were ridiculous (and also heavily branded...)

Professor Layton has become my new favorite game on the DS. Love the puzzles!

I fell in love with this game. The 3rd best thing to come to the DS after New Super Mario Bros and the Phoenix Wright games!

I'm glad they are putting some marketing muscle behind this. This game deserves to be a home run.

You know, this truck reminds me of a puzzle...

This truck will be a great collector's item in 30 years! ;)

I prefer to think of myself as "in the loop" but I guess I'm wrong. I've never heard of this Professor Layton game before.

I didn't realize San Francisco had North and West halls.

I stumbled across Professor Layton and the Mobile Assault Force on a recent trip to DC http://flickr.com/photos/hackaday/2271274553/
