The Professor Layton games are an absolutely stunning example of the puzzle genre, with some?? crime-fighting thrown in for good measure. With the next installment in the series coming in 2025, let’s take? a look back at the previous releases. 

If you want to play all of the Professor Layton games, you’re likely wondering whether you should do it chronologically or in order of release. Well, the good news is? that either option is entirely open to you. It just depends on whether you can handle some differences in gameplay.

Within the community, it’s commonly believed that this is the preferable way to play through the series of games. Although the st??ory will be a bit disjointed, as the chronological order of the games is different from the release order, it can be hard to overcome gameplay differences.

Many of the l??ater games imple??mented quality-of-life upgrades, which would have made the earlier games much nicer to play, so losing them can make it hard to stomach the older games.

Here’s how to play all of the Professor Layton games in order of release:

# Title Release year Platforms
1 Professor Layton and the Curious Village 2008 Nintendo DS
iOS
Android
2 Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box 2009 Nintendo DS

How to play all Professor Layton games in chronological order

If you’re able to accept that gameplay might be a little inconsistent, then you can play the games in chronological order. It’s like watching the Star Wa??rs movies in chronological order and having to accept that the older movies, while more recent in the in-universe timeline, have more dated effects. 

Based on the Prime Minister’s speech during the prologue of Unwound Future, the Professor Layton games mostly take?? place in the 1960s, although the exact time set??ting for each game is unknown. 

Here’s the chronological order of all Professor Layton games so far:

  1. Professor Layton and the Last Specter
  2. Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
  3. Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy
  4. Professor Layton and the Curious Village
  5. Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box
  6. Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
  7. Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
  8. Layton Brothers: Mystery Room
  9. Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires�Conspiracy

When is the next Professor Layton game going to be released?

Professor Layton and the New world of Steam
Image via LEVEL-5

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam is set to release on Nintendo Switch at some point during 2025. The events we've yet to see in the upcoming addition to the Layton universe take place one year after the events of Unwound Future, which would place New World of Steam as the eighth game in the chronological order of Layton games.

Layton journeys to a new world

After a strong showing at a recent Nintendo Direct, Level-5 hosted a livestream today spotlighting some of its u?pcoming titles. Though every title was already known, we did get some details on what looks like a packed line-up for Level-5.

Today's stream featured the reveal of a new Megaton Musashi, dubbed Megaton Musashi: Wired. Alongside the mech action title, we also got some details on the new Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, the cop RPG Decapolice, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time, and the new Professor Layton game.

Here's the full run-down of everything shown:

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiskq5t73P0

Decapolice

Today's trailer dives a bit deeper into Level-5's cop RPG Decapolice. The battle system makes it look like a party-based RPG, but I really dig the investigation parts where it looks like the player links clues together using red string and suspicions. The setting seems pretty unique, and I'm interested to see what Level-5 does with such a unique set-up. Plus, just listen to that soundtrack. Decapolice is coming to PlaySta??tion and Switch sometime this year.

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EVgTrFkCoU

Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time

A new life starts in the new Fantasy Life game, and that means a character creator. Level-5 showed off some of the avatar creation potential, as well as general gameplay and different Lives (a.k.a. jobs) to undertake. There's really just something cozy and chill about this particular take on the life sim genre. Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is targeting Ninte??ndo Switch for someti?me this year.

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mEq_N0oWbQ

Megaton Musashi: Wired

Level-5 officially unveiled its new Megaton Musashi project. Wired is an international version of the original Megaton Musashi. Build robots and pilot them against absolutely massive robots. What more could you really want? Level-5 is advertising cross-play for PC, PlayStation, and Switch, with co-op and competitive options too. Some legendary robots are also getting involved, ranging from Mazinger Z to Combattler V. According to the teaser site, Megaton Musashi: Wired is aiming to launch this year.

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam

After the new Layton entry was revealed at the Nintendo Direct, Level-5 shared more about what's in store for the puzzle-solving detective in this new trailer. The story picks up after Luke's departure for America in The Unwound Future. Luke has become a bit of a detective in his own right on the new continent, and Layton will team up with him to solve mysteries and quick puzzles in this new world of steam and machines. No release date's been set yet, but Professor Layton and the New World of Steam will be headed to Switch.

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkRQsURQjH4

Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road

The sports-RPG crossover Inazuma Eleven has a stylish new entry on the way in Victory Road, which looks to be an all-star mash-up of the series' history. Over 4500 characters from the Inazuma Eleven series will appear, as two players attempt to revive a soccer club and topple the reigning champions. Who doesn't love a good underdog story? Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road is set for 2023 for Switch, PS4, iOS, and Android.

Studio presentation set for March 9

Level-5 will hold a live stream presentation next month, offering updates on a selection of titles currently in development at the Japanese studio. The "Level-5 Vision 2023 Tsuzumi" will take place on March 9.

The stream will include new news and details pertaining to upcoming Level-5 releases such as Decapolice, Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road, Megaton Musushi Wired, Fantasy Life I: The Girl Who Steals Time, and the recently revealed Professor Layton and The New World of Steam.

As noted by Gematsu, this live stream announcement is not only the first revelation of a new Megaton Musashi title, along with the debut of a localized title for the Inazuma Eleven release. The live stream will feature English subtitles, which suggests that the studio has global plans for some of its upcoming wares �with the new Professor Layton title being perhaps of t?he highest interest?? for puzzle fans.

The Level-5 Vision 2023?? Tsuzumi stream will kick off March 9 at 20:00 JST / 03:00 PT / 12:00 BST. We'll be sure to bring you all of the hot gossip from the stream right here on Destructoid, so you don't have to sweat staying up for the wee small ho?urs.

I think I've got it!

My father has been dreaming of a "White Christmas" for about 20 years now. And I can understand why??. Besides the aforementioned song that gets blasted over his classic yuletide Spotify playlist each year, every Christmas movie we watch during the holiday season paints a picture of snow being as common as perfectly wrapped Christmas presents under the tree or marriage proposals from hunky Canadian actors you've never heard of before. But thems the breaks when you live in California, as my parents do. There are no white Christmases in their town, only rainy ones with fleeting moments of clear blue skies. What's ironic, in an Alanis Morissette kind of way, is that if my folks decided to make the trek to where I live for the holiday, we all would have been treated to a white Christmas with the winter storm that is just battering my town right? now.

But I can understand his desire. I too long for the picturesque white Christmases we've been singing about since the 1940s. I can't remember the last time it snowed on the big day, but really, I don't remember much at all about past Christmases or even just the past in general. Most of the knowledge I have in my head of my youth is just the embarrassing stuff my brain can use against me whenever my self-esteem registers a notch above "non-existent." I'm sure I've had some great Christmas mornings in my youth, b?ut the only one I can strongly remember is the year my brother and I both got our own video game consoles and televisions for our rooms, meaning we never had to communicate with each other again. That was a great Christmas, but this year, I got a beautiful reminder of another piece of my past that had previously been lost to the miasma of my mind.

This year was a pretty good year for me, presents-wise. I really got into photography over the past year, so the big gift waiting under the tree for me was a new Fujifilm lens for my X-T200. With a 230mm zoom, I should really be able to step up my wilderness and wildlife photography this year. Beyond the lens, I got a nice new sweater, some Friends wine glasses and socks, a shaved ice machine, and a nice, wool Gatsby cap. I also got this $5 book of puzzles from Kohl's, which h??eld great meaning for my mom as she tried to explain to me why she bought it.

Christmas Presents

As I unwrapped the book, she told me she ha??d to buy it because it reminded her of this game we used to play years ago, back when I was a kid. She said it was that "Professor game." Now, you probably already know what game she's talking about. But I, the extremely clueless and forgetful person that I am, drew an absolute blank. She pressed on, repeating "the professor game, that professor game" to no avail. I started asking myself, "What professor game did I play as a little kid?" My mind immediately went to Super Solvers: Midnight Rescue. But I?? only played that at school because we didn't have a PC at home back when I was in elementary school.

After about two minutes of me just sitting there like a dummy, my mom gave up on trying to get me to remember with a devastating, "I guess it meant more to me than it did to you." That's such a mom thing to say, but with those words, I?? knew I had to remember. I wouldn't open another fucking gift until I could recall this moment in our shared history she was talking about. I remembered most of our other gaming memories, from Kirby's Avalanche to Mario Kart Wii, so surely this kn??owledge had to be tucked away somewhere in my mind.

So, I pressed on. I asked her what grade I was in when I played this, to which she responded, "You were already out of college. You know, that professor game where you rescue those people?" Her memory of what you actually d??o in this game may be spotty, but the moment she said ??"out of college" I knew the exact game she was talking about. Those three little words broke the dam in my mind and the memories started flooding back in. I remembered walking two mi??les to the Kmart to buy the game, putting in my Nintendo DSi, and playing through it over the course of the week. I remembered my mom asking me what I was playing, explaining to her what the game was, and seeing genui??ne excitement in her eyes when I told her all about it. I remembered coming home from work and catching my mom working on her own playthrough of the game on my DSi and the long talks we'd have about the game and how we'd help each other solve its puzzles.

The game in question is, of course, Professor Layton and the Curious Village. I have adored this game since I first got wi?nd of it in the pages of Nintendo Power and made it a point to pick it the moment I had the money for it. My mind is fille??d with me?mories of playing through the entire Layton series, but until yesterday, I had completely forgotten that I once shared those memories with somebody else, someone I care about a great deal who didn't ?always understand why I spent so mu?ch time with a controller in my hand. Professor Layton wasn't just a pivotal game for me, but for my mom as well as it was one of the few games she could get into to understan??d why it is I love video games so much. Without The Curious Village, she might?? still think of gaming as something I should have outgrown ??by now.

Sadly, this would be the only Layton game we'd bond over. By the time Diabolical Box came out in North America, I'??d moved out of my paren??t's house and taken my DSi with me. She never bothered picking up one of her own, so from then on, the only time we'd connect over games would be during rounds of Wii Sports and Mario Kart Wii. Today, she doesn't game at all, instead, spending her free time searching for recipes on Pinteres??t. My dad is now the gamer of the two if you can call playing slot machine apps on a Galaxy Tab being a gamer.

The F??ujifilm lens is gre?at, the Gatsby hat is nice, and the Friends w??ine glasses are pretty goddamn Caucasian, but the best gift I got this year is a memory, a beautiful memory of my past that had been lost until my mom came across a $5 puzzle book on a shopping trip to Kohl's. No piece of plasti??c or glass will bring me as much happiness as that.

I just can't share this fact with my parents because I still do enjoy getting all th?ose expensive?? things too.

It's about time

England's greatest fictional detective (no, not that one) is getting set to make his grand return next week, as puzzle-adventure Professor Layton and the Lost Future HD will be making the leap onto iOS and And??roid pl??atforms worldwide come July 13.

Originally released for the Nintendo DS way back in 2008, Professor Layton and the Lost Future, (known as the "Unwound Future" in North America), is the third title in the popular, brain-teasing franchise. The story sees our hat-wearing hero embroiled in a complex mystery involving alternate timelines and twi?sted fates?, while gameplay consists of a variety of puzzles and mini-games, as is the series' wont.

Professor Layton and the Lost Future HD is an enhanced edition of the original game, featuring high-resolution, re-drawn visuals and an overhauled control system optimised for touchscreen devices. You can ??chec?k out a brand new trailer for the mobile port below.

Professor Layton and the Lost Future HD launches July 13 on iOS and Android.

And the award for longest title of 2019 goes too...

Professor Layton has solved hundreds of riddles and dozens of mysteries since he first debuted on the Nintendo DS back in 2007. From a curious village in the Engli??sh countryside to the mythical town of Labyrinthia, there wasn't a case he couldn't close, no conundrum he couldn't construe. But there is one mystery that's been a shadow over the franchise for?? the past few years. With the popularity of two-screen devices dying off, how would it continue in a one-screen world?

Well, it too?k a while, but we can now consider?? that mystery solved.

Layton's Mystery Journey

Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy Deluxe Edition (Switch)
Developer: Level-5, h.a.n.d.
Publisher: Level-5
Released: November 8, 2019
MSRP: $39.99

Layton's Mystery Journey tells the story of Katrielle Layton, daughter of the world-famous professor, who's opened her detective agency in the heart of London. Ready to make a name for herself, though already well known in Scotland Yard, she teams up with talking dog Sherl and assistant Ernest -- the Duckie to her Andie, the Ricky Lipman to her Janey Briggs -- to solve a series of cases surrounding the Seven Dragons. The Dragon?s are the seven wea??lthiest people in London who each find need for Katrielle's services.

I first wrote about Layton's Mystery Journey when it first released stateside on iOS. Two years later the core of the experience is still the same. Katrielle is still endlessly upbeat and unevenly written. The dialogue is wonderful, the world is beautiful, but the overall story doesn't go anywhere. I'm almost done with a full run-through of the Deluxe Edition and my disappointment about ?the structure and plot remains the same.

Ditto on the puzzles. Layton's Mystery Journey has arguably the weakest puzzle collection in the series, though it has the most a single game has ever seen. The Deluxe Edition on Switch has even more puzzles than before, with more than 40 added to the package. Because I don't have an eidetic memory, I've forgotten most of the puzzles from my original time with Layton's Mystery Journey -- ex?cept the bad ones, I remember those vividly.

Anyway, despite being more-or-less the same game I didn't like all that much two years ago, I'm very excited about this port. First of all, it has more than 50 new outfits to unlock and dress Katrielle up in and I am 100% here for that. I would buy this game if it was nothing but playing dress-up with Katrielle and then taking her around London to eat pastries and squid ink spaghetti. But there's more. Beyond the cute outfits, the new puzzles, and spectacular HD artwork, the biggest addition to this edition of Layton's Mystery Journey is its presentation. Namely, Level-5 figured out h?ow to make a one-scree??n game out of a two-screen experience.

And really, it wasn't that hard. Using the real estate afforded to them by widescreen on the Switch, Level-5 simply combined two screen's worth of information into one. It arguably did that on iOS as well, but really it just split the screen in half, treating it as if it were a straight port from the 3DS. Here, the combination is organic, as though it has always been that way. Whether on my television screen or the Switch screen, the text is always easy to read and the spacing of the puzzle image with the instructions for it never comes off as cramped. This is a flawless conversion of the Professor Layton formula to the Switch format.

To make full use of its new hardware, Layton's Mystery Journey Deluxe Edition includes several different control options. You can play with the thumbsticks of the Joy-Con controllers, moving the cursor across the screen, but using motion controls when playing in docked mode is far superior. Joy-Con movement is tracked exceedingly well and the fickle nature of the thumbsticks -- they tend to go from 0 to 100 with a slight change in tilt -- makes it easy to miss those spots that house hint coins and secret puzzles. Touch controls work elegantly in handheld mode, though I do long for the days of pulling a stylus out of the ?bottom of my unit to write my notes.

Layton's Mystery Journey

With a few adjustments, like tying the notes feature to one of the several, unused Joy-Con buttons rather than making players go into the menu to bust it out, these would be the perfect controls to carry the franchise forward on Switch. And really, that's what is so important about this port. It paves the way forward for more Professor Layton games, something that seemed unlikely not long ago given the dwindling popularity of ??their original hardware and the fact that Level-5 seems to be having issues getting its titles out the door.

So don't come into Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy Deluxe Edition thinking it's going to be a wallop o??f an adventure. It's not. But, do look at it as providing t??he blueprints for one of two-screen gaming's most celebrated franchises to continue in a one-screen world.

Now when the hell is someone going to localize that anime series? Surely one of the nine million streaming? services we have now could toss a loonie or two its way.

[This port report is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]

' Games today are localized in 10 or more languages, so the cost of localizing the voicing and script for an adventure game is enormous

Nintendo treasure and producer/director Shigeru Miyamoto had a few things to say about adventure games in a recent company Q??&A.

When pressed as to why Nintendo doesn't continue to support the genre in the modern era (with Famicom Detective Club used as an example of the company's legacy), Miyamoto responded that adventure games require a great dea??l of work due to the globalization of gaming: most notably, translation concerns.

Speaking to investors, Miyamoto notes, "As for adventure games, I’ve ?made a lot of them, starting back with Famicom Mukashibanashi: Shin Onigashima (Famicom Tales: New Demon Island; direct translation of the Japanese title), but the environment for production is more demanding these days. Games today are localized in 10 or more languages, so the cost of localizing the voicing and script for an adventure game (which generally has a great deal of text) is enormous."

He also plainly states the genre's waning popularity (noting that "older games like [him]" are the main fans), while citing Ace Attorney and Professor Layton as strong recent champions. With the closing of Telltale Games (which wasn't entirely re??lated to the stagnation of the genre, but likely contributed to it) there's even less consistency in terms of releas??es now.

Miyamoto concludes by telling fans to "not to give up hope," but wants people to understand how challenging the whole prospect is in 2019. Anything on that front may come from Nintendo partners: Miyamoto doesn't confirm that anything is in the works from Nintendo, but name-checks Next Level Games (Luigi's Mansion 2, 3), explaini??ng that said hope could come from a studio close to the publisher.

That reminds me of a puzzle...

Late last year, Level-5 announced that it would be porting the second Layton game, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, to mobile phones in Japan. Much like how the first title made its way west, Diabolical Box is now available in the US on the Google Play and App Stores. Going for $9.99, this version includes HD renders of all the sprites and upscaled FMVs for th??e story segments.

While not including any new additions, this is still a worthy game to add to your collection. Pretty much all of the Layton titles are good with only the final entry being a little lackluster. I'm not sure why these aren't also getting ported to Switch, but using your phone in portrait mode would p??erfectly replicate the DS's screen layout. That has to be worth something.

The Case of the Leaky Ratings Board

It appears that the Switch port of charming puzzle title Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy is preparing to head west, as the title has shown up in a new listing on the ESRB website. The find was first noted by Twitter user and Nintendo fan @Stealth40k.

Originally launching in Japan last year, Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspirac??y: Deluxe Edit??ion is the Switch release of 2017's 3DS adventure, which sees the daughter of Professor Layton, the titular Katrielle, search for her missing father while engaging in a series of mini-mysteries herself in a journey around old London town, guv'nor.

As this is just a ratings listing, there is obviously no specific release date mentioned. But usually rated games are expected in the immediate future, so hopefully we'll be hearing more on th??is localisation very soon.

Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy is available now on Nintendo 3DS and on Android and iOS devices.

HD PUZZLES!

Announced just a few days ago, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is heading to mobile devices in Japan next month. We now have a trailer to show us how it will look and I'm super jealous. Is it too much ?to ask Level-5 to port these to the Switch?

In any case, the mobile format is perfect for replicating the dual-screen layout of the DS in portrait mode. It seems like this is a perfect way to experience the Layton series, especially with those snazzy HD c??utscenes. Those are, honestly, my favorite part of the whole experience.

Since the first game's mobile port did eventually head West, we likely won't need to wait long for our chance to experience the Professor's second outing on our phones. I'll likely bite the bullet when Unwound Future comes since that is my favorite of the series.

LUKE!

Earlier this year, the first Professor Layton game came to Japanese smartphones as an HD port before heading West a few months later. Now, the second game in the series, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (or the much cooler international name, Pandora's Box) is getting the s??ame treatment. Announced only for Japan so far, this new port will feature the same updated visuals and cutscenes as the original, though no new animation is being teased.

The game will hit Japanese app stores next month for 1,200 yen. If you've never played the sequel (most people seem to ignore it in favor of the incredible Unwound Future), you're in for a treat. I'm mostly curious how the one very specific DS puzzle wi??ll work without a clamshell device, but this game is a real ?joy with some better-integrated puzzles and a very compelling plot.  It also has Luke yelling, "PROFESSAH!" in a way that only he can.

We'll likely see ??this sometime next year in the US, so keep your eyes out for it.

HD puzzle solving

Professor Layton and the Curious Village is now available for mobile devices. Just a few weeks after announcing intentions to bring the Japanese HD mobile port West, the game is now available on the App and Google Play stores for $9.99 USD / $11.99 CAD / €9.99 / £7.99. While there doesn't seem to be any new gameplay elements, apparently there are brand new animated cutscenes (a series highlight!). You'll also get the game in HD, which looks wonderful with Layton's crisp artwork.

Here is a trailer to get you excited.

Like a true Gentlemen

Apple has Tweeted out that Professor Layton and the Curious Village will be heading to the Western app store soon. While not giving any other details, this is likely to be a localization of the Japanese mobile release from earlier in the year. Since? that port also had an Androi??d release, I wouldn't be too surprised to see it coming to Google's popular OS as well.

As for now, we'll just have to do what the ??Tweet says and stay tuned. As great as it is to get an HD version of this game in the West, I coul?d definitely go for a six-game compilation on Switch.

Those HD cutscenes are worth it, alone

A scant few days after its announcement, Professor Layton and the Curious Village EXHD has received a trailer and it looks great. W??hile the game perfectly mimics the Nintendo DS' dual screen setup on larger displays, I'm mostly in awe of the beautiful upconversion on those cutscenes. Even on the DS' pixelated screen, the cutscenes looked wonderful and were very reminiscent of Studio Ghibli. Now, in full HD, they look stunning.

I'm not sure if the trailer is revealing other information about the game (I can't read Japanese), but it does give us a glimpse at just how Layton will play on a smart device. Hopefully, Level-5 brings this to the West, because I'm game to replay Layton in HD.

PROFESSAH!

The Professor Layton series is no stranger to mobile devices, so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that the first game in the series is now getting ported to smartphones. Dubbed Professor Layton and the Curious Village EXHD, this port will be an upscaled version of t??he 2007 classic with HD gra??phics and some other new features.

Details are mum on what those new features are, but the game will be heading to iOS and Android devices sometime this year. Since the Layton s?eries does reuse some assets, I woul??dn't doubt that the other DS entries will eventually make their way to mobile devices.

The game's afoot

As written in the latest issue of Japanese publication Famitsu, Level-5's 3DS adventure Layton's Mystery Journ??ey: Katri?elle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy is coming to the Nintendo Switch in J?apan on August?? 9.

Originally launching for 3DS and mobile devices in the Summer of 2017, Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy sees the daughter of series' star Professor Layton don the detective's cap after dear old dad goes missing while on a case. Accompanie?d by her chatty dog, Sherl, Katrielle finds herself solving a variety of mysteries for the local townsfolk, leading to the truth about her father's dis??appearance.

The Nintendo Switch version of the game will include all of the game's episodes, as well as an alternate control system. There is no mention of a Western localisation as of yet, but given that both the mobile and 3DS versions of the title hit these shores with relative ease, fans should keep their hopes up.

A look ahead to everything we know is, and could be, coming our way

On February 26, the Nintendo 3DS will celebrate its seventh year on the market. In that time, it has sold more than 70 million units worldwide and more than 340 million games. It’s been home to the great franchises we grew up with like Sonic and Zelda and marked the debut of new, celebrated properties like Bravely Default and BOXBOY. It may not have had the stratospheric sales of its predecessor, but hot damn if it isn’t ??arguably Nintendo’s finest handheld to date.

Like Harry Potter, year seven is looking to be a rough one. Any limelight the handheld had has been taken by the Switch, and over the course of this year, I imagine many gamers will make the move to the handheld-console hybrid at the expense of Nintendo’s dual-screen dynamo. But with more than 700,000 people picking up a 3DS or 2DS last month in the US alone, the??re are scores of customers l??ooking for great games to play on it.

You may have moved on but don't start digging its grave yet. Just because 2018 isn't as jam-packed as years pa?st doesn't mean there are some great games coming to it. I scoured the internet to find games guaranteed to hit the 3DS this year and those that haven’t been confirmed yet but still could be localized in?? 2018.*

Here's what's confirmed for the west already:

Pokémon Crystal (Virtual Console)
Release Date: 01/26/2018

While Switch owners patiently wait for Virtual Console, the service has all but died on the 3DS. Over the last seven years, most worthwhile games from the Game Boy and Game Boy Color found their way onto the service. The Virtual Console already started to wane when the first Pokémon games were brought to the 3DS and I imagine it will completely die with Pokémon Crystal. I don’t know why there was a wait for this one, but the wait ends this Friday. The game launches the same ??day as the New Nintendo 2DS XL Pikachu edition, allowing you to play Pikachu on your Pikachu because yo dawg, I heard you like Pikachu.

Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology
Release Date: 02/13/2018

I know what you're thinking: What, Atlus is porting an old game to the 3DS? Yes, as shocking as it can be, Atlus is indeed taking a game it previously released and updating it for the 3DS. It did it with Devil Survivor, it did it with Devil Summoner, and now it's doing it with Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. And just like those other ports, this is one d??amn fine g??ame.

Radiant Historia originally released in North America just one month before the launch of the 3DS, so I could understand why people skipped over it then. If that was you don't make the same mistake twi?ce. Just because it's on older hardware doesn't mean you should miss one of the more interesting JRPGs from the last decade. 

Detective Pikachu
Release Date: 03/23/2018

Despite originally releasing in Japan two years ago, Detective Pikachu's inevitable localization became all but certain once it was announced Hollywood was making a movie based on it. That movie is still very real -- it just added Ken Watanabe to the cast -- and earlier this month Nintendo finally coughed up a worldwide release date. Not only are we getting this sure-to-be strange game, but we're also getting a big, fat, new amiibo to go along with it. Don't be surprised if Nintendo ports to this to the Switch right arou??nd the time the film hits theaters in 2019.

The Alliance Alive
Release Date: 03/27/2018

The Alliance Alive is the second Atlus jam confirmed to release on the 3DS this year and the only one that is an original title. Developed by Cattle Call, the same team that brought us the unfortunately named and mediocrely reviewed The Legend of Legacy, Alliance Alive will hopefully benefit by the addition of Yoshitaka Murayama to the team as its scenario writer. Murayama is the writer and director of the first three Suikoden titles and this marks his first ga?me in mo??re than a decade. Those two facts are reason enough for me to pick it up.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux
Release Date: 05/15/2018

Strange Journey was actually my first introduction to the Shin Megami Tensei franchise and it immediately drew me in with its story, world, and demons. It was all so different and spectacular and rightfully deserving of its Mature rating with ?those penis monsters and everything. Popping it in my Nintendo DSiXL last month, the original game is a bit rough to look at now. The art direction and graphics didn't age as well I would have hoped, so getting an update on this treasure of a title is alright with me. Even with the altered artwork, I'm ready to return to Antarctica in May??.

Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido
Release Date: TBA 2018

Depending on what Nintendo does with some of the titles in the second part of this article – or if there is some completely unknown game it hasn’t announced yet – Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido could be the last game it publishes for the 3DS. Revealed during the Treehouse broadcast at E3 last year, Sushi Striker looks to h??ave all the fun of a free-to-play mobile puzzle game without any of that free-to-play nonsense. Unless it ends up being free-to-play, then just forget that last part.

Shovel Knight: King of Cards
Release Date: TBA 2018

Also known as Jonathan Holmes’s most anticipated game of 2018, Shovel Knight: King of Cards is the final expansion pack for one of the greatest indie games of all time. After so many months, players will finally get their hands on King Knight in this prequel to the original game as he makes his way across four new lands to take on the Three Kings who rule over all. I never expected Shovel Knight to be this multi-year journey I would come back to time after time, but Yacht Club Games managed to do just that, making everything feel new with each new playable character they debuted. King of Cards will launch sometime this year, as will the Shovel Knight amiibo three??-pack I already have pre-ordered from Best Buy.

Jake Hunter Detective Story: Ghost of the Dusk
Release Date: TBA 2018

The Jake Hunter series has been going strong in Japan since 1987, but only managed to make a mark over here once with 2008's Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles. It hit at just the right time, joining similar adventure games like Hotel Dusk and Time Hollow on the Nintendo DS just as it got into full swing. But it must not have sold that well because the next five games in the series skipped localization. After a five-year hiatus, Jake returned in Ghost of the Dusk. Released last ye??ar in Japan, Arc System Works, the current owner of the IP, announced it was giving the franchise another go in North America in 2018.

Shakedown Hawaii
Release Date: When it’s ready

Brian Provinciano has done a damn good job on Twitter drumming up interest in Shakedown Hawaii. As the follow-up to Retro City Rampage, a game perfect on my 2DS XL, Shakedown aims to bring the same chaos and carnage to a 16-bit setting. Unlike Retro City, ain't nobody from Destructoid?? going to be in this on?e. It's our own fault. We used to be so much cooler. At least that's what everyone on Twitter keeps telling me.

Besides the beautiful setting, I'm most looking forward to seeing how far I can take the destructible environments feature. After watching three episodes of the new Hawaii Five-0, I'm just about rea??dy to level the whole frickin' island.

Picontier
Release Date: TBA 2018

Originally slated for a late 2017 launch, Picontier was pushed back to this year as the developers work to complete it for the 3DS, Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC. It’s being published by Flyhigh Works which, between Kamiko last year and Ambition of the Slimes last week, is stealthily establishing itself as a go-to source for cheap, entertaining games. I don’t know what the price will be on Picontier, but I’m willing to pay anything to get my hands on this “slow-moving miniscape RPG.” From the developers of Fairune, Picontier combines crafting, fishing, farming, and fighting into one agreeable looking package. It gives me Stardew Valley vibes which are just the type of vibe??s I am looking for.

Here's what we could get if they're localized:

If the 10 above is all we receive in 2018, well, it’s not the worst way to wrap up a console’s life. But still, there are so many more games we could enjoy this year if publishers choose to bring them over from Japan. We don’t have any confirmation the following titles will make it to our shores in 2018, but by the spirit of Iwata I hope they do.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

There are three things we know about Dragon Quest XI:

  • It released on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo 3DS 
  • It's in development for the Nintendo Switch
  • It's absolutely coming to West this year

What we don't know is exactly which format it's coming over in. With three versions to choose from, Square-Enix can go about this in several different ways. Preferably, we get all three. But if that doesn't happen, which version gets left behind. The Switch is too red-hot to ignore, the PlayStation 4 is well o??n its way to moving 100 million consoles worldwide, and, as mentioned above, hundreds of thousands of people are still picking up a 3DS system. Looking at it that way, it doesn't really seem like a difficult choice: localize all three.

At the very least, one Nintendo system should get the game as the company has published the Dragon Quest series outside of Japan fo??r some time (even if a bit fleetingl??y for my liking).

Dillon’s Rolling Western: The Dead Heat Breakers

Announced in the same Nintendo Direct where we found out Style Savvy: Styling Star was a thing, Dillon's Rolling Western: The Dead Heat Breakers is arriving five years after The Last Ranger released and bringing with it the ability to turn your Mii into a furry, playable character. So far it's only confirmed for Japan, but as both of the?? prior games in the series received simultaneous worldwide releases, I expect this one to follow suite.

Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2

When I found out at E3 the trio of Altus games above would be coming to North America and Europe, my reaction was “great, but what about Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2?” I love the Etrian series but I simply adore Mystery Dungeon games. Whether I’m playing as Shiren, a Chocobo, or a Pokémon, it’s hands-down my favorite role-playing conceit. Etrian Mystery Dungeon stole an entire month of my life, so I’ve been waiting since EMD2 was announced in March of last year to come along and do the same thing.

New Etrian Odyssey

Etrian Odyssey is one of those will-they-won't-they games. It's perfectly designed for a dual screen device, but that era of gaming comes to an end soon. When it's over, does Atlus keep the series going? Whatever the future holds remains to be seen. Also still to be seen: a brand new Etrian game for the 3DS.

Series director Shigeo Komori confirmed last year a new Etrian Odyssey is on the way. It won’t be EO3: Untold, but rather a festival-like culmination of the series with completely unexpected content. After playing through the entertaining but predictable Etrian Odyssey V, I’m ready for something a little more surprising. Whatever this Etrian Odyssey game is, expect to be announced this spring.

Persona Q2

All we know about this game is its coming to the Nintendo 3DS and the artwork accompanying its announcement is clearly a cuter version of The Phantom Thieves of Hearts logo. So I expect we’ll see Joker and company teaming up with the cast of Persona 4 or 3 or both. Or hell, why not throw 1 and 2 in there while we’re at it. Just make it a big Persona family reunion.

Yo-Kai Watch 3: Sushi & Tempura

You can tell Nintendo and Level-5 really expected Yo-Kai Watch to be the next big thing. Between the games, television series, movies, manga and a crapload of merchandising, the two companies clearly thought this series had “Next Pokémon” written all over it. But that’s not what happened. The Yo-Kai Watch craze has died down in Japan and I don’t think the series ever caught fire this side of the Pacific.

Despite that, I still think we’ll see Yo-Kai Watch 3. For starters, the third season of the anime is coming over in a couple of months. Beyond that, we’re exactly on schedule for a new Yo-Kai Watch game. With the exception of last year’s Psychic Specters, each game in the mainline series has released in North America two years after its Japanese debut. With the St. Peanutsburg-set Yo-Kai Watch 3 releasing back in July 2016, history tells we should expect it here sometime this fall if Nintendo is bringing it over. I certainly hope it does because the new combat system introduced in 3 actually makes me think I’ll finally be able to get into the series.

New Professor Layton

This one is a bit iffy because it hasn’t exactly been confirmed the new Professor Layton game will be coming out on the 3DS, but if I were a betting man I’d say it is. The Layton series is so in tune with dual-screen devices that it’ll take a complete rework of the formula should Level-5 ever want to get the most out of single-screen hardware. I don’t mind the franchise becoming mobile-only -- Layton's Mystery Journey was certainly playable on the iPad -- but it should be something that is developed from the ground up for a single screen instead of trying to mimic Nintendo's handheld. Either way, expect news on this title sometime in the next few months, along with what should be a quick release before the year is up.

The Snack World: Trejarers

After Professor Layton hit it big and kind of made Level-5 a household name, the company pivoted towards these massive, multi-media projects. Yo-Kai Watch wasn’t just a game it was every type of entertainment. Inazuma Eleven and Little Battlers Experience followed the same pattern though the latter quickly fizzled. Snack World seemed to be its next big thing. In 2015 the company founded Level-5 abby in Santa Monica, the same year it first showed off Snack World with this dazzling eight-minute long trailer. It looked good, damn good, but then began a two year wait for the actual game to arrive.

The Snack World: Trejarers launched last year in Japan, and while it didn’t exactly blow up the sales chart -- it failed outsell the Yo-Kai Watch Buster 2 spin-off games -- it did end 2017 as Japan’s 20th best-selling game of the year. That’s not bad, but clearly, Level-5 wants more. Recently it was announced Trejarers is being ported to the Switch because that’s just how the industry works now. So far neither version has been confirmed for the West but I hold onto hope that we don’t have to wait for the Switch port to see it on our shores.

Megaton Musashi

I’m not holding my breath on this one as there are several Level-5 games developed over the years that never made it out of Japan -- hello Time Travelers -- I just thought it’d be nice to remind everyone this exists and looks absolutely badass. Like Yo-Kai and Snack World, Megaton Musashi is being developed a cross-media project with video games, anime, movies, and merch planned. Of course, we haven’t heard anything about it in more than a year and a half. Is it still coming to the 3DS or is it jumping ship to the Switch? At this point, either is possible and certainly preferred to it being dumped on mobile and forgotten. If it can happen to Wonder Flick, it can happen here too!

Baku Tsuri Bar Hunter

Okay, so there is no way in hell this actually is brought over to the US, but I just like to remind people that Bandai Namco ?made this game that combines fishing, AR, ??and rampant consumerism into one ridiculous package and bundled it with a reel.

*Obviously this isn’t a complete list as there could be dozens of small eShop games from tiny indie devs still coming this way. For the sake of this article, I only mentioned the more well-known games we know about and also Picontier because it needs to be on everybody’s watch-list. Also, though it is not mentioned above, I would like to see Puyo Puyo Chronicles localized.

One step closer to a Danger Mouse crossover

Level 5 have announced than a new anime series, based on the delightful Professor Layton puzzle games, will air in Japan in 2018.

Layton Mystery Detective Agency: Kat's Mystery Solving Files, is a name that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, but at least expositions the series' plot. The ??show will star Prof. Layton's adorable daughter Katrielle, who solves mysteries around foggy London town with the aid of her assistant Ernest and her talking dog, Sherl, ?LIKE SHERLOCK, Y'SEE?

The arc of the series has Katrielle hoping to track down her top-hat loving dad, who disappear??ed while on a hot case. It sounds like it could be quite a charming series, given Layton's quaint style and characters. The show will see a Manga adaptation and there's even talk of a toy line.

The Layton Mystery Detective Agency: Kat's Mystery Solving Files anime and manga launch in Japan Spring 2018.

Excellence in a clamshell

The Nintendo 3DS is gradually being put out to pasture, now that it's bulkier, flashier half-brother is taking over. We're bi?dding adieu to a console that had a pretty impressive back catalogue, ??and dominated the handheld market for a good number of years. 

But what if you're not ready to say goodbye? What if you want to get more use out of the little pocketbook marvel? Or what if you want to get an older console for the first time? Well, the 3DS is backwards compatible with the original DS's games, and if you never tried those out, t??hen you're missing something special.

[For where to buy the games/hardware, I've linked to Amazon and eBay sellers, but that's not an endorsement for buying off of these sites – you mi??ght find better deals elsewhere.]

Hardware

If you're interested not only in playing your original DS games on your 3DS, but in actually getting some hardware, there are three different versions of the DS that you could purchase: the original DS, the DS Lite and the DSi.

I would recommend the DS Lite, as it is more elegant and compact than the unwieldy original. The DSi comes with an internal camera and very small selection of exclusive games, but is crucially missing the Game Boy Advance slot in the bottom of the console. It's your choice – between messing around with a by-now pretty low-grade camera, or opening yourself up to Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, or Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, just for starters. I would ??take my pretty white DS Lite any day of the week.

The staples

I got a huge amount of use out of my DS Lite, and I still do today, because some of the more popular titles are replayable, distracting fun. One of my favourite aspects of the original?? DS is that the games were so whimsical; I value a game that can completely pull me out of any stress going on in my personal life.

As with a lot of consoles, the titles that are popular have earned that position due to their quality. There are six of these titles? that I woul??d recommend above any others.

1. Trauma Center: Under the Knife (Atlus, 2005)


This game came out around the time I started watching House, M.D. I'd always been fascinated by medical shows, whether it was catching snippets of ER as my parents watched it (I'm still haunted by the surgeon getting his arm chopped off by helicopter blades), or being warned not to run with scissors after watching a particularly grisly episode of Casualty with my grandma. Theme Hospital is also one of my favourite games of all? time, so why not take the action?? a step further and actually remove lumps of tissue from patients' chest cavities? Heck yes!

In Trauma Center, you conduct surgical examinations of patients and treat a range of illnesses and injuries that span the mundane to the outri??ght bizarre. Frankly, only Atlus could make draining abscesses with a syringe this compelling. Needless to say, it's not a game for people who flinch at the sight of cartoon pus, but it's hardly a gorefest, either. A sequel was released in North America and Japan (not an issue for us PALsters, since the DS, aside from DSi games, is region-free), but the original is absolutely worth giving a go first.

2. New Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo EAD, 2006)


Getting back to the roots, how can you collect for a Ninty console and not buy a legitimate Mario platformer? Not including this one on the list would have raised a few eyebrows, and for good reason. New Super Mario Bros. is probably one of the more definitive entries to the Mario platforming series. It has very few quirks and twists, though it's undeniable that games that ran away with a theme, such as Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy, are some of the best games ever released for their respective consoles. It's just a simple box-headbutting platform game, which was invaluable for those of us who had long since consigned our Game Boys to the car boot sale. I think this and Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins are the two entries I would give to someone if I wanted them to have an immersive experience with Mario games in a single afternoon.

3. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (Capcom, 2007)

OK, I get it. Why pick a game from the Ace Attorney series and not go?? with the real G, Mr Phoenix Wright? Did I not enjoy those games? Did Maya cast some sort of? befuddlement hex on me?

No, I am deliberately selecting Apollo Justice above any of the originals, as great as they all are. I remember tearing through the Phoenix Wright games as an activity I did every year, when I went on holiday to Majorca with my family. All of the Ace Attorney games I've played (Justice for All, Trials and Tribulations, and Apollo Justice) have been equal parts taxing and fascinating. But Apollo Justice has the most interesting story, in my opinion.

Seeing a young upstart filling Phoenix's defence attorney big boots spoke to me more than being the loveable oaf, Phoenix, himself. Also, the storyline with Klavier Gavin pipped any of the prior ones to the post. I suppose if you want to understand the story properly, you should start right from the beginning and get the first Ace Attorney game. But if you're not the sort of person who minds jumping into a series halfway through, you will certainly enjoy Apollo Justice as your first entry. You don't have to dig around on eBay for a used DS cartridge, either – it's coming to 3DS via the eShop in November.

4. Professor Layton and the Curious Village (Level-5, 2007)

I'll admit that this is a series I always borrowed off my sister, rather than buying for myself – and one that even my fairly smart 15-year-old brain had tro??uble with.

Any riddle aficionado will enjoy playing as the Professor as he investigates...well, a curious village, accompanied by his impossibly young assistant, Luke (Layton can expect truancy fines and court summons through his letterbox any time now). You hop from villager to villager, solving the puzzles that they are agonising over, some of which still leave me scratching my noggin. Rather than starting with the most recent iOS release, this is one series where I would advise going back to where it all began, simply because the conundrums have always been flawless. And you'll want to try every single one of them, once you've experienced the Curious Village.

5. Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo EAD, 2005)


This title isn't actually the origins of the series. In this case, there had already been an Animal Crossing title released worldwide for the GameCube, simply called Animal Crossing. Confused yet? Still, I feel like the marriage between Animal Crossing and handheld consoles is an inde?fatigable one, so you owe it to yourself to pick up the first pocket version of the game.

You probably know the drill with Animal Crossing: get into fights with bees, rid the landscape of all sustenance, put up with your neighbours' incessant na??gging and become an indentured servant. No, but seriously, you plod around your little town, interacting with a number of delightful animals living in nearby shacks, building collections and making your abode beautiful.

If you already have the 3DS release, New Leaf, I would still advise getting Wild World, to see all of its little individual quirks. As with all original DS games, you will have to accept that the online functions are no longer functional. But, regardless, you can have hours of aimless fun in your own little town with Wild World, all while failing to socialise with yo??ur real-life neighbours! As it should?? be.

6. Picross DS (Jupiter Corporation, 2007)


This is a very special entry to the list for me, because it's a game?? I still play on a regular basis. I became interested in on-paper logic puzzles at a very young age, ever since my grandma used to let me try out old puzzle books she hadn't finished. These books always contained a couple of nonograms, and as I got older, I started buying books with just nonograms in. My own r?ule was always that if I screwed up, that specific puzzle was a wash, because an eraser usually couldn't get rid of the markings 100% and the grid would become impossibly muddy if I tried to start afresh.

Imagine my joy when I released, in 2017 (oh dear, Charlotte), that nonograms had actually clawed their way onto a handheld! Suddenly, I could undo my shoddy work and try the same grid over and over again. It was an amazing discovery for me, and I snapped up a Picross DS cartridge for a handful of coins.

Picross DS is made all the more enticing by the fact that there are theme categories, various difficulty options and mini-games, and the more you play, the more puzzles ??you unlock. I have spent hours in bed watching Netflix and tucking into a nonogram or ten, and I can guarantee that if you love picture-based puzzles, you will love picross, too.

Honourable mentions

I admit that everything I've included so far isn't very obscure. But if you're in the market for some cult classics, the DS also has plenty to offer in this regard. Elite Beat Agents is an unmissable rhythm game, if you haven't got your fill of the genre after the fairly recent Parappa the Rapper Remastered release. The World Ends With You combines RPG element????s and hip-hop, while remaining effortlessly cool.

If you want to do something more gruesome with your DS (not an invitation for photos), Resident Evil: Deadly Silence is a commendable port of the game that christened survival horror, with a few of its own neat additions. If you want rock-hard dungeon-crawling, it might be worth keeping an eye out for Etrian Odyssey and its sequel on eBay. For some broodier detective work, check out Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and Flower, Sun and Rain. The gr?aphics for the DS port of the latter are eye-bleedingly awful, but most Suda51 games are work a peek, at least for curiosity's sake.

Of course, there are a few more obvious entries I would encourage you to consider, even though they didn't make it onto my "staples" list. The Cooking Mama series is a guilty pleasure, as I find being rewarded for repetitive movements quite soothing; admittedly, since I learnt how to cook for myself in real life, it's lost some of its charm. And whether the Dr. Kawas?hima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your? Brain? games actually make you smarter or not, they do provide a nice level of entertaining challenge – plus, you ca?n't go wrong with sudoku.

It will be adapted into a form of cartoon that originated in the East. What is it?

The Professor Layton series is ??pretty god damned awesome and has always contained an anime style for it's animation. It was one of the first DS games to have full motion video that didn't look like absolute garbage and even resembled Studio Ghibli, so the announcement of it getting an anime adaptation isn't all that surprising. The news comes from Level 5-abby, a subsidiary of Level-5 and Dentsu Inc.

The series will feature 26 episodes (the perfect length) and will star good ol' Hershel and Luke on many wacky adventures. If each episode doesn't tug at t??he heart strings and change your perception of life, then it will fail to live up to any of the games in the series. There isn't a firm date for airing, but the series should be ready sometime next year.

This new show comes from an initiative by Level-5 to expand the Layton series into a "variety of content" that includes "animated products" and even a new game (that isn't Layton's Mystery Journey)! Maybe we'll see a Layton themed escape room or murder mystery ??train tour?! That would be fun.

I really love the Professor Layton series and I'm a casual fan of anime, so I'm definitely all for combining the two and making something cool. I even enjoyed the anime film from 2009, Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva. Whether or not you've seen it or liked it, that stands as the best film based on a video game for not only being half-way decent, but also accurately? capturing the essence of the series it was based on. I could have done without all the fan service, though.

I'd love to help solve this murder but this ladybug puzzle has been stumping me all day

Level-5 has been quiet stateside in 2017. Earlier this year we got Layton's M?ystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspi??racy on mobile and it will launch on the 3DS in North America next week. Other than the recent release of Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters -- which I'm sure Chris Carter has already 1??00%ed -- there hasn't been too much from them out west. That's going to change in 2018.

In addition to the nearing launch of Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, it's been confirmed Level-5 will be releasing a new Professor Layton game in 2018. In an interview with License! Global magazine, Level-5 executive Simon?? Waldren confirmed a new title in the franchise will release late next summer. Platforms were not specified in the inter??view though my guess is another 3DS/mobile title.

In the same interview, Waldren confirmed the Inazuma Eleven reboot, Inazuma Eleven: Ares is still coming to "Nintendo platforms" *cough* Switch *cough* which we basically already knew. Waldren also stated there are still plans to bring the popular Snack World series to Europe.

Solve basic math in Eorzea

Final Fantasy XIV is no stranger to crossovers with Level-5 properties. In fact, the MMO's Yo-kai Watch event recently came back giving ??players a second chance at nabbing some Yokai companions ?and inspired weapons.

It looks like players will soon get a shot at some Professor Layton themed events. The Layton series official Twitter recen?tly posted the image below asking "What clues lie amongst these gentlemen?"

No word on when this event may take place, but if we can score that dapper Layton?? hat I'm up to solve any basic math pro??blems the old professor needs me to.

The Lightside Detective

The Professor Layton franchise is probably my favorite thing to come out of the Nintendo DS era. A well-written, wonderfully animated adventure game with puzzles that truly tested my logic skills was just what I needed after years of more mindless entertainment. I happily picked up every installment in the series, including the two spin-offs, and while it arguably peaked with The Unwound Future, I was never really disappointed in anything Level-5 threw my?? way.

Until now.

Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (Nintendo 3DS, Android, iOS [reviewed on a 2017 iPad])
Developer: Level-5, h.a.n.d. inc.
Publisher: Level-5
Release: July 20, 2017 (WW on mobile, 3DS in Japan), Fall 2017 (3DS US, EU)
MSRP: $15.99 (mobile), TBA (3DS)

Layton’s Mystery Journey’s overall plot is a simple one: Katrielle sets up her own detective branch by solving her first 13 mysteries. Well, 12 if you don’t include the mystery she never bothers solving. 11 if you remove the flashback sequence that appears far too late game for its own good. So, 11 cases, most of which revolve around a group known as the Seven Dragons. These are the seven richest people in London and they each require Katrielle’s ‘elp in solving some mystery with little to no connection to one another. Rather than a strong, arcing narrative, Journey opts for a more episodic feel.

Specifically, a Saturday morning cartoon episodic feel. There are characters introduced for a single c?ase that are supposed to be of great importance, but the failure of the game to mention them before or after their interaction with Katrielle dilutes their role in the greater narrative. It all culminates with a f??inal case that brings most of the characters together, and one final reveal that is supposed to knock my socks off but fails to do so with its “Armin Tamzarian” ending that renders the entire game an utterly meaningless entry into the series.

Each case plays just like other games in the proper Layton franchise. I move from place to place, many of them repeating from ??case to case, across a small patch of London as I search the environment for hidden puzzles and hint coins. A small cast of characters line the streets, ready to test my wits with a puzzle or provide me with pertinent information to my case. Solving each mystery really requires no effort at all. Katrielle does all the work. There are some I figure out far earlier than she does, making me wait for her to catch up, while others she nails with explanations that seem to come out of nowhere.

Level-5 describes Katrielle as a “strong, female cha?racter” but really she can be a total Mary Sue at her worst. There is never a moment where I think she might be in trouble, where it might be possible she will fail. Like Batman, she often plans several steps ahead but also comes down with a case of convenient stupidity when the story calls for it. She has no depth, nothing beyond what I see in the first five minutes of the game. If the way her father left haunts her, it doesn’t show. Her body is?? an endless reservoir of confidence, her life bereft of stop signs. She could be and should be a great role model like her daddy, but the lack of any real challenge or obstacle instead gives us a girl who cake walks through her very existence.

Other characters who join her in the adventure, 'elping Katrielle solve these puzzles are similarly one-dimensional. Ernest and Sherl, two of her associates I didn’t care for when I wrote my review in progress, grow on me as the adventure progresses. Not because they develop any outside of a bit of backstory building, but?? because the dialog somehow makes everything about this game a little bit better.

The script for Mystery Journey?? is thick with accents the writing recreates perfectly. Every missing “h,” every time a character says “donkey’s years,” every liberal use of the Queen’s English brings the story to life in ways an American localization cannot. To hear characters use the words “queer” and “gay” for their original intended purpose warms my heart and ushers in genuine appreciation for the wonderful writing the staff produces here.

Level-5 says this game has the most puzzles of any Professor Layton game and I am here to tell you that quantity does not equal quality. In my review in progress of the game, I wrote the puzzles fit in with the established Layton brand despite the loss of the original puzzle creator. I still believe that to be true, though as I progress I realize too many of these puzzles pull from the very worst of the series. Often they’re more interested in showing me how clever their creator is rather than actually challenging my skills of deduction. Some seem to exist with their own set of rules that aren’t always made clear in the instructions. This is, of course, not entirely new for the franchise as Layton games have always valued sly solutions to some puzzles rather than fact-based problem solving, but too many here have me?? saying “Come On!”

I’m talking about the types of the puzzles where the answer is basically to do nothing. If it asks me to move X amount of steps, selecting zero will be the correct answer for some stupid reason. The old adage &ldquo?;the easiest answer is usually the right one” applies to far too many puzzles here, including a fair share of the ones I face in the final case. One puzzle I come across has instructions that don’t work when I attempt them and two puzzles have the exact same answer. When I say the same answer, I’m not saying one puzzle has the answer of nine and so does another later in the game. I’m saying two puzzles, not that far from one another, have the exact same, four-letter word as their answer.

For its $16 entry fee on mobile, it's a resoundingly complete package with goodies and extras that can keep me playing far past its 18-hour campaign. But with a weak narrative, an unrelatable main character, and puzzles that lack originality and inspiration, I have no problem calling Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy the worst the series has seen yet and one that makes m?e worry about the futu??re of this franchise.

[This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]

Female-led Layton game also debuts

As summer begins, it's time for all the kids to stay in doors and shoot gunk all over virtual battlefields. Kids fortunate enough to have been able to obtain a Switch and Splatoon 2 that is, as there continues to be more demand than Nintendo ca??n sup??ply.

Despite raffles, the launch was successful enough to cause the eShop to temporarily go down. Splatoon 2 Nintendo Switch bundles likely make up a large portion of the 98,000 weekly console sales which is more than triple its weekly average of 23,000 - 30,000. Splatoon 2 week helped push the Switch to over 4.7 lifetime sales.

Also new this week is the Lady Layton game (which I refuse to call anything else such as it's long ass official name), Fate/Extella: The Umbal Star port for Nintendo Switch, Cars 3 which I want to play for some reason, and the cute as heck Sumikko Gurashi sequel.

Scooby and the gang

Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires’ Conspiracy, which for the sake of brevity will be referred to as Layton’s Mystery Journey for the rest of this review in progress, begins with a changing of the guard. In the fog of London, a young Katrielle watches as her father, the great Hershel Layton, dis??appears, presumably after telling his family he was just running down to the store to pick up some cigarettes.

It’s out with the old and in with the new. So goodbye Professor and y?our dawdling around town as you try to solve ridiculous mysteries and crack hundreds of puzzles given to you by normies too stupid to figure them out for themselves. So long to all that and hello to Kat and her dawdling around town as she tries to solve ridiculous mysteries and crack hundreds of puzzles given to her ??by normies too stupid to figure them out for themselves.

Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy (Nintendo 3DS, Android, iOS [reviewed on a 2017 iPad])
Developer: Level-5
Publisher: Level-5
Release: July 20, 2017 (WW on mobile, 3DS in Japan), Fall 2017 (3DS US, EU)
MSRP: $15.99 (mobile), TBA (3DS)

Katrielle Layton, one of three known children of the apparently potent Professor Layton, has just opened up her own detective agency. On Chancer Lane, near Big Ben, she’s setting out to make a name for herself in a world that vaguely remembers her father but says absolutely nothing about her brother Alfendi. Alo?ng for the ride is Ernest, her puppy love-struck assistant who is less the Ned Nickerson to her Nancy Drew and more the Niles to her Daphne. There’s also Sherl, a tal??king dog.

?I bemoaned this K9’s inclusion when it was revealed he could talk. Despite how it looks in the trailers, Sherl can’t speak to everyone. He also doesn’t know how he is able to speak and is suffering from the common video game ailment of amnesia. Only a choice few can understand the words coming out of his mouth, an exclusive club that just happens to include Kat and Ernest. He can be funny with his so-bad-it’s-good voice acting but is often more annoying than amusing. Admittedly, I’d rather have more of Sherl than namby-pamby Ernest, but it’s still ea??rly in the adventure.

The three of them work together to solve the puzzles and cases brought to the agency. Despite not featuring Hershel and Luke -- so far -- Layton’s Mystery Journey is rooted in the foundation laid in the Curious Village. I’m still talking to people around town, gathering information, solving puzzles. and slavishly scanning environments for hint coins, trinkets, and hidden puzzles. Despite being on mobile, it plays just like its dual-screen predece??ssors. There are also additional puzzles I can solve outside of the main storyline, an office I can redecorate, and outfits I can dress Katrielle in, most of which must be purchased along with a puzzle for real money.

The original Layton series features puzzles by Akira Tago, but due to his passing last year, Layton’s Mystery Journey turned to Kuniaki Iwanami for its brainteasers. Though I only have 70 under my belt so far, Iwanami’s puzzles are very much in the tradition of the series. Some are insultingly easy to the point where it’s not even fun solving them, others utilize vague wording in attempting to stump me. Just a few hours in, I’ve seen a few puzzles concepts already repeat but there have also been several clever conundrums that brought a big smile to my face. I have yet to use any of the dozens of hint coins I&r??squo;ve found but that?? could easily change later on.

It looks like a Layton game, it plays like a Layton game, but it doesn’t exactly reveal itself like a Layton game. There, so far, is no larger narrative. Prior games introduced the central mystery quite early. Here, I’m not quite sure I know what this Millionaires’ Conspiracy is. I’ve read Kat will search for her father, but that thread hasn’t been introduced at all. Instead, I’ve had three largely unrelate??d cases brought to the agency, there only to introduce me to what I believ??e are the central players and possible suspects in this caper.

After those initial cases, the game opens up into a more nonlinear experience. I’m given new mysteries to solve, but I don’t have to tackle them right away or in the order they are given to me. I can revisit old mysteries to find any puzzles or hint coins I might have missed during my original investigation, and it lets me know exactly where I should go on the map to search for them. With everything else in the game being largely the same as the original six, this alteration to how I progress may be the very thing that not only sets Layton’s Mystery Journey apart but shows ??actual growth with th??e arguably stagnant series.

Any troubles I’ve come across are symptoms of Level-5’s decision to develop this title for both the 3DS and mobile. When solving its puzzles and mysteries, my iPad screen is halved in portrait mode to mimic the dual screen set-up of Nintendo’s handheld. During the ?exquisitely animated cut scenes – produced by A-1 instead of series regular P.A. Works – I must turn my device to landscape mode to actually enjoy them, a requirement that is quite a nuisance when the bit of animation is just a few seconds long.

So far, Layton’s Mystery Journey is very routine for a Layton game and please don’t think of that as a disparaging remark against it. I adore the original concept of the franchise, that my wits and fortitude are relentlessly tested by the citizens who haff twelve metchsteek. I only hope the new focus on solving individual cases rather than one overarching story arc will help make up for the more tired trends that continue to cling to the s??eries like a barnacle on a blue whale.

Western 3DS release date still TBA

Sitting nice and neatly in a row on my big-ass shelf of games is every entry in the Professor Layton franchise. From The Curious Village to the Azran Legacy, they sit there, waiting to be joined by Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy, aka Lady Layton, aka Lady Layton: The Millionaire Ariadone's Conspiracy. That is supposed to hit the 3DS in the west sometime later this year, but on July 20 I'll be able to play through the whole game on my iPad. We've?? known it would have a worldwide launch on mobile this mon??th, but now we know how much it will cost us.

Level-5 confirmed Layton's Mystery Journey will retail for $15.99. It's available now for preregistratio??n on Google Play. Somehow, I expect the 3DS version to be the standard $39.99 price?.

T?o celebrate this final stretch to the game's launch, the publisher dropped a new trailer for the game.

I could watch that wonderful Layton animation all day. According to the Google Play description, Layton's Mystery Journey boasts the largest collection of puzzles in any Layton g?ame, as well as free bonus daily puzzles, offline play and, according to that trailer, a doggy butthole.

Oh yeah, there's a trailer for the game too

To help promote the upcoming Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle and The Millionaires’ Conspiracy for 3DS, Level-5 teamed up with SCRAP (real escape games) to make a "puzzle-solving event that challenges users around the world to solve 50 puzzles that appear on the internet and in special locations in 10 countries, ?including Japan, the U.S., the U.K., South Korea, and Australia" from June 20 to September 21, 2017.

The first puzzle is about the viral video PPAP (Pen Pineapple Apple Pen). The event has already begun and you can get started from the Layton World website. There was also a regular ole game trailer showing off the game's story and some puzzle gameplay. It looks more interesting than the original Layton games, and not only because it features a talking bloodhound?? (but that may be one of the larger reasons).

I have never participated in one of these?? real escapes yet, but every time I'm reminded of them I want to try. I'll put that on my "make?? friends do this with me" list. It's a long list.

PROFESSAH!

Professor Layton is a god! The dude is calm under duress, always witty and willing to help those in need of obtuse puzzle solutions. He does it all and looks dapper while doing it. It seems, though, that Level-5 can't quite figure out how to bring the Professor's English charm to the Switch, as no??ted in an interview they gave with Eurogamer.

When questioning series producer Akihiro Hino on the possibility of Layton coming to Nintendo's hybrid console, Hino stated, "I played Zelda. I love the Switch. I think it's amazing hardware. The problem is, the Layton series does a lot with the touchscreen and pointing. So, the problem with the Switch is, if you play on handheld you can do it, but if you put it on the dock..?. we're trying to figure out how that would play into it."

While the easy solution would be to go the route of Voez and mak??e it tablet only, it looks like Level-5 doesn't want to lock anybody out of enjoying the random ass puzzles that Layton always seems to encounter. Seriously, why does literally everyone in those games have their nose b??uried in some kind of quandary?

My suggestion would be to utilize the motion controls of the joy-con, seeing as how they can sort of replicate touching a screen. It isn't exactly the same, but it also means you don't have to create multiple solutions to a single puzzle for player specific needs. I think it would also work wonders with Layton, which doesn't feature touch sensitive puzzles ?so much as just shifting things around.

Hino concluded with, "If we can get around that and figure out a way of doing it, definitely we're looking into putting the next Layton?? onto the Switch," so at least al??l hope isn't lost.

One or more games

Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino stated "although I can't reveal the content, we're making game(s) for [the Nintendo Switch]" in a Nikkei Trendy Interview. Japanese language does not differentiate nouns by plurality or singularity, so it's not clear if he means a single game or multiple games. Two months ago, Hino mentioned that the currently in-development Inazuma Eleven: Ares for 3DS "may also release on what you would call a higher?? quality game machine… perhaps."

Hino also talked about his love for the console, and his shyness playing it outdoors. He was hesitant to play outdoors, especially with the red and blue neon colored Joy-Con he received: "when I carried it around a lot, the looks I got made me self-conscious. I bought the black controller that they released myself and attached it." Hino especially loved Zelda: Breath of the Wild&nb?sp;and thinks it's a "wonderful fit for competitive games.??"
