Professor Layton gets a prequel!
Well, here’s some good news for all you adventure gamers who also enjoy a good puzzling game. Last year’s hit Nintendo DS game, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, will soon have some buddies sitting on the shelf with it. Developer, Level 5, has recently talked to a Japanese gaming magazine about releasing a whopping THREE new Professor Layton games that will be released in Japan sometime in the fall.
I’m guessing the detective and his boy servant are big hits in the gaming community!
According to Kotaku, the first game in the series will be called Professor Layton And the Demon God’s Flute (which to me sounds like the name of a Harry Potter book) and goes back three years before the first game. In this game, Professor Layton has to find out what destroyed a village and he also gets to meet his little buddy, Luke. Sounds puzzle filled, doesn’t it?!
Check out the picture from the Japanese magazine, Famitsu about the three new Professor Layton games. If you can read Japanese, you can even see what the article is talking about (at least small clippings of what it’s about… it’s not the best “scan” in the world).
