This fifth game has Layton and Luke investigating the mystery of the title artifact in Casino City, which seems to have been created by the wish-granting mask. According to a Famitsu report that leaked before the official reveal, there could be major changes to the familiar gameplay system.
Miracle Mask will be out in fall 2010, and may be followed by a second movie, Hino said. The company first has to solve the puzzle of how much money it will receive from the first one.

So...five games in Japan, but only two in the US? It's like Final Fantasy all over again!

I just started playing the Curious Village this week, and I love it!!! I must have more Layton!

The Diabolical Box is even better - and that's saying something! I wish I could play them again for the first time!

Just picked up / finished the Curious Village in November. Was a lot of fun. Wife just finished the Diabolical Box last night, but admitted to preferring the first.
Here's to hoping we get The Last Time Travel before 2012.

The art of these Layton games is just incredible - adorable. Every picture from these set of games gives me a right smile.
I really, really should get around to buying Layton 2, you know.

This isn't over yet Layton! Just you wait!

Well, hell! With the world ending in 2012, we're only going to wind up being able to play 3(tops) of the Layton games here.

What is it with Level 5 and scary ass clowns?
AbbyRose @ Nov 25th 2009 8:12PM
Yay! Another Layton!! I'm so exci.... oh. crap. I thought for a second... never mind.. I'll just go back to playing "Diabolical Box"... again.

Maybe the new gameplay mechanic is the movement system. Wouldn't it be interesting to have a 3D Layton? Though, as I type this, I realize that it wouldn't be the same, maybe not half as fun.
Oh, and Mr. Fletcher, trilogy means three. (tri)logy

No use in getting excited for this one for another 5 years, unfortunately. If we're lucky.
