GDC09: Professor Layton 2 planned for North America and Europe this year

by JC Fletcher on Mar 26th 2009 6:00AM

Okay, let's take stock. We got a new Zelda, the Wii "Storage Solution" (which is actually better than Nintendo originally made it out to be), and arcade games and Final Fantasies on Virtual Console. How could this GDC get any better for Nintendo fans?

How about Professor Layton 2?

At Level-5's panel, director Akihiro Hino showed a list of current projects, including Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, an English translation of the name of the second Layton game. Later, during the Q&A, someone asked Hino if the sequel was being localized for North America and Europe. Hino responded that he wants to release all six Laytons (including the new trilogy), and that Diabolical Box is indeed in the midst of localization -- he hopes to have it out in six months.

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...

ps: ...ssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

Even that chubby super angry dude who is always red in the face in town is probably even going "WOOT" right now.

Can't they fricking hurry up!? I'm having Layton withdrawel symptoms!

aGREED!

Prostitute D is a dog.

Who knows the reference?

"Prostitute A says Prostitute B has gonorrhea, Prostitute B says Prostitute A has gonorrhea. Prostitute C says both Prostitute A & B have gonorrhea, Prostitute D is a dog."

HAWP Professor Layton episode.

Anyone else think that girl in the background is Layton's evil ex-girlfriend back for revenge by creating unsolvable problems?

You mean that dude in the background is Layton's evil ex-boyfriend back for revenge by creating unsolvable problems?

Cos it, ya know, a guy.

Dude, that totally looks like a chick, oh man my tranndar is off better go play some more guilty gear to bring it back.

Man, I love this game so much. I need to play it again and actually do all of the puzzles.

Finally.

By far the Big N announcement I am most excited for. Can't wait!

And if paid television actors are to be believed, LIsa Kudrow agrees.

My girl just got finished playing the hell out of Professor Layton on our vacation. I'd look over every once in a while and see her doing math problems on a sheet of paper and say "Fuck that! If I wanted to do math, I'd go to school!" So, while I will buy a sequel, I will not *play* a sequel.

Upside: the animation was awesome.

tl;dr:

"I left school when I was 14. Do you want fries with that?"

Last night, I shit you not, I just put the last touches on a Professor Layton costume for an anime convention (yes, I'm one of those freaks).

This morning.... yeah. Just yeah.

Woo hoo! Best news out of GDC yet!

Nothing can ruin my day now.

What if I were to tell you that Sprinkles is your father?!?!?!

I'll just disown him. My day still goes without ruin.

The translation for the sequel is being handled by the same team responsible for the Let the Right One In DVD release. How's that for day ruining?

lol hurr durr

Does the translation suck (no pun inteneded) for Let the Right One In, Dark Inchworm? I was looking forward to seeing that movie.

You have AIDS, you were adopted, and both your biological and adoptive parents hate you.

How's that?

The AIDS thing sucks. The rest? Not so much.

Still not bringing me down!

Thanks for the info DI. When I get around to watching it, I'll make sure it's a version that Let the Right Subtitles In (lol).

It's about time. But i would certainly like to hear something more concrete.

This is the greatest news I could possibly have read this morning. Yes including world peace.

EVERY PUZZLE HAS AN ANSWER MOTHERF***ERS!

The news we have all been waiting for.

So it'll be well into next year before you'll be able to find a bloody copy!

Sweet, now I know what my GOTY will be for 2009!

Six months? that's September, not bad at all. I think I'll buy it as a present for my wife's birthday. She's loving the first game.

Nice. Finally we get a confirmation.

*Does the Homer pee dance*

Hurry and release this so I can play it Nintendo!

Does the translation suck (no pun inteneded) for Let the Right One In, Dark Inchworm? I was looking forward to seeing that movie.

Meant to reply to DI earlier in the thread. Downvote to hell please.

I just finished the last downloadable puzzle in the first game the other day. That means I've solved every puzzle in the game. i m sew smrt

That is one angry Dahlia in the background...

Izzat....no...it couldn't, oh be still my heart! I...woooh*faints*

Thank you great god of videogames. I know I haven't been the best disciple, sometimes I even doubt you exist. Thank you for reviving my faith.

The best news in the GDC (a lot better than the new Zelda)

I came.

Oh hells yes :D

FFFFFFIIIIINNNALLYYY
Thank you. Best news at GDC

if this game is DSi only...There will be pain....

I might have to buy a DSi then. DAMN YOU NINTENDO (if this happens) DAMN YOU TO HELL!

The japanese version wasn't DSi only. There should be no reason this one will be.

"Hooray, this is grand."

There is a hidden message in the above statement. Can you find it?

Very Good News. I was getting a little worried this would never see a stateside release, so I'm very happy to hear it's coming! But if every Layton game takes this long to localize.....DX

"someone"? That's just rude. It was Tobin (Coziah) from NooBTooB.
