Professor Layton is coming to town!

So, the ever-so-desired Professor Layton series will now hit America. Took them awhile, now, off to see what the hype is all about.

Developer: Level-5
Publisher: Nintendo
Platform: Nintendo DS
Genre: Adventure/Puzzle Game

The game is pretty much a collection of puzzles with adventure exploration between mini-games. There are a myriad of brain teasers and the player must solve a certain number in order to progress past some points in the game.

A hint-like system is also included so, you can get hat extra help when you need it. Although, to use it, it requires the use of "hint coins," that are hidden in the throughout the game and are in limited quantity... So, you better make sure you save them up and only use them when you need them most.


Oh, yeah, it's also Wifi capability as well. Wonder what? Well, if you're a puzzle whiz and looking for more on your plate, you can go online and download new puzzles to solve. Boy, they sure give your mind a good work out.



The game is set release in Mid-February in the US, and the sequel, Professor Layton and the Devil's Box has been released in Japan as of late. Also, the third game is in the making so you can expect much more coming our way.

Oh, FYI, there is a playable demo available on their official site. So, check it out!
