    Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva is the anime installment of Level-5's fantastic DS series. I haven't yet seen this feature film, but the press release provides the following summary:

    Professor Layton, a true English gentleman, renowned archaeologist, and the world's greatest amateur super sleuth, sets out on his most daring adventure yet! A letter from Janice Quatlane, his old student and now a famous opera diva, draws the Professor and his loyal assistant Luke to the legendary Crown Petone Opera House to investigate a mysterious occurrences at the theater. Meanwhile, a rash of disappearances of young school girls hits London... How are these two mysteries related to each other, and to the secret of Eternal Life?!

    The DVD will be available next week, and you can purchase it here.

    Words cannot express how excited I am for this game. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton games on my DS, and the combination of these two legendary characters and gameplay styles into a single title is reason enough to purchase a Nintendo 3DS. The game will be landing in Japan in 2012, but unfortunately no US release has been announced.

    While crossover games that commingle characters from outside their corporate walls have never been foreign territory for Capcom, they recently made an announcement that has me giddy. Capcom and Level-5 announced that they are collaborating to create a new Nintendo 3DS game featuring two of my favorite characters: Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright. I'm a big fan of both of these series, so I can't wait for this title to launch. While the trailer is in Japanese, you can enjoy the amazing visuals and the joy of seeing these two characters on screen together.

    Layton
    I came across this trailer for a Japanese puzzle-based adventure game series that will be debuting in the U.S. on February 10th. It seems to be 1 part "Phoenix Wright", 1 part "Howl's Moving Castle", and 1 part "Brain Age". Either way, I am a big fan of the point-and-click adventure genre, and between the Miyazaki-inspired art-style and use of logic puzzles it seems like a winner to and for me. Check out the trailer below.
