We'll forgive you if you weren't up late this past Friday evening watching the livestream of Level-5's "Vision" event with us -- it was kind of in the middle of the night. The Japanese publisher showed off several of its upcoming titles, and revealed a few neat surprises (Ghost Watch, anyone?). Luckily for you, Level-5 has now released all the trailers from Vision and we've compiled them below the break for your viewing pleasure.

Level-5 has reworked the game into a mobile Professor Layton spinoff, and announced the new game at its Level-5 Vision conference.

Just as it was before the shift, Layton Brothers Mystery Room is about conducting investigations of crime scenes by tapping on areas of interest with the touch screen. It seems a lot more grounded in reality than the main Layton games -- look, there's a dead body and everything.

Rather than being merely for localization or American publishing efforts as we supposed, this operation is actually going to make games.

"We have five staff members at present," Hino said. "Titles that are being planned in the North American office are being developed in that region. The office staff is mostly Japanese, but we're using a style of development where we collaborate with local staff, so I believe we'll be able to make something that matches the North American market well."

The first information about the US office's efforts will be unveiled at the annual Level-5 Vision event, which Hino said would probably take place in August this year. He also said that downloadable titles are increasingly popular in America, suggesting a possible focus for Level-5's efforts. Last year's Level-5 Vision brought news of Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney and three other 3DS games.
