Court Records :: Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney Recap : Trial Minutes

Huh? Oh, "Gyakuten XX". I’m making it, with Takumi-san!

As an aside, the trailer has YouTube annotation subs on it now, so if Overstream doesn't work, try the direct YouTube link:

Also, fdlhgsdjghg I'm still reeling from this. I know it'll be a long time until we do, but I can't wait to see gameplay.

I've never played the Layton games, but this definitely looks worth getting! In fact, I'm probably going to get into Layton just to make this game that much more significant.

I am a male but, I have to say, Nick has one nice piece of butt. <3 *will avatarize it*

Luke is experiencing the thrills of buttsecks in that picture, most obviously. Phoenix was unsuccessful at such a feat, as Maya fled, leaving Phoenix as such.

That shall now be the reason Phoenix is riding his horse backwards!

First off, I'd rather he be incapable of riding a horse. I prefer slapstick any-day, never mind how sick it is what came out of your keyboard.

Second, the point of making that topic was for the front page. There is a ton of info we've gotten and in 8+ pages. No one should have to weed through all of that. Yesterday's topic was the WTF OMG topic. Today's is everything consolidated. Not everyone visits the forums. Also, merging the threads is out of the question, as the 8 page long topic is older, it would consume this one chronologically, thus defeating the whole purpose of this topic.

Phoenix's not weird enough to do that to Maya, and Maya sure as hell would not have run away without a fight (with the fight part actually being Maya just slapping Phoenix a few times).

So the fact that Phoenix ended up on the horse backwards didn't translate to him being attacked whilst she escaped?

Phoenix Wright, it is now SRS BSN. "Oh lordy, don't corrupt our characters!"

No wonder Phoenix never got his driver's license. If that's how he is on a horse, I'd hate to see him behind the wheel of a car.

He has a bike, though... Do you really think that's much better?

but Nick sticks out in his suit...

Also, this is a great marketing strategy. Any fans of Professor Layton or Ace Attourney that don't know about the other series will be encouraged to play it, or at least check it out, which means more money for Capcom and Level 5.

I hope the voice acting turns out really good. That part of the game could either be epic or detrimental to whole experience.

So... is this instead of Gyakuten Saiban 5, or are we still looking forward to that sometime in the future?

Probably sooner or later. But I wouldn't hold my breath if you catch my drift.

So, can we assume that this will be out soon after the 3DS is out? Or is release date still something totally unknown?

Didn't see that on the info currently posted, and just want to double check.

If you were surprised by the announcement of a Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright crossover game (WHAT), you're not the only one. Even Capcom's global head of production, Keiji Inafune, exhibited some disbelief over the adventurous collaboration in a recent interview with Japanese mag Famitsu (translated by Eurogamer).

"I thought it would be impossible," he said, citing the careful handling of the Phoenix Wright character within Capcom, as well as creator Shu Takumi's insistence on trying new things (see: the upcoming Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective). "Nobody but Hino could have thought of it." Akihiro Hino, CEO of Level-5, was apparently instrumental in conceptualizing and then realizing this 3D battle of the brains. And there will be a bumping of heads between the two logic-minded protagonists, Inafune said, "before they join hands and take on a really big challenge."

Whether you're rooting for the spiky hair or the fabulous top hat, you'll be happy to know that neither Capcom nor Level-5 seem satisfied with a meet-and-greet cash-in between their cherished properties. "It wasn't a case of licensing out the Phoenix Wright characters and demanding our licence money. That isn't a collaboration, and users would see that," Inafune said. "For this standalone game, we wanted to create a great history, which would have been impossible if both parties were not fully involved."

So, can we assume that this will be out soon after the 3DS is out? Or is release date still something totally unknown?

On the other hand, when we got Apollo Justice all we had was a unidentifiable cut out of Apollo at E3. Where as in this case we've got Level-5's art and movies. They've got a lot ironed in stone.

But... for all that we've been awed with. We haven't seen any screenshots, no gameplay footage.

Inafune said, "For this standalone game, we wanted to create a great history, which would have been impossible if both parties were not fully involved."

Wow. Just. Wow. I don't think anyone anticipated such a bombshell yesterday. Here's all the information we've gotten thus far on the collaboration between Level-5 and Capcom. Last month, we caught wind of a tweet by Jiro Ishii of Level-5. Jiro Ishii wrote: Huh? Oh, "Gyakuten XX". I’m making it, with Takumi-san! The tweet was soon denied by Jiro, but when put together with the rumors from E3 about Capcom working on a big collaboration project, it made sense that Level-5 was the collaborator in question. A lot of people hoped, myself included, but didn't seriously think that Professor Layton was the subject in question. But to everyone's fairytale delight. It indeed was. Now here's what we know. The game is exclusive to the 3DS. Remember. The 3DS is not the DSi 2 or whatever. The 3DS is to the DS, as the DS was to the GBA. This is Nintendo's next generation handheld. Level-5 actually approached Capcom on the project. They thought they'd be denied because it would take focus away from Gyakuten Saiban 5. Takumi was actually thrilled at the idea, particularly since it would be his first collaboration project. Takumi is in charge of the scenario. As the name of the game suggests, this is a "vs" title. In fact, as you can see from this screenshot, Layton and Luke appear to be using the Prosecutor's bench. VS indeed! The game takes place in a magical fantasy realm independent of either game series' universes. So don't worry, your little brains don't have to worry about this breaking your head cannon. The game is expressed as being 100% Professor Layton and 100% Gyakuten Saiban. Expect lots of puzzles and contradictions. If Phoenix looks like a giant to you, it's likely because they decided that in order to keep things equal across the fandoms that Phoenix would be as tall as Professor Layton + Top hat. (Personally, I think that Phoenix being as tall as Layton + 1/2 top hat would be plenty, but that's me.) The game's story involves two characters of interest. A woman suspected of witchcraft, who also appears to be the game's defendant; and a mysterious man called the storyteller, we never see the face of who has a book that rewrites the world. No word yet on an English release, but Capcom-Unity is claiming that if you get enough replies to their topic they'll seriously consider it. Also, in what appears to be a Court-Records.net exclusive, we've got the following Layton vs. Attorney art to share. These images are hidden away on the promotion site and are inaccessible to normal viewers. Concept art? Actual events? You decide. That's all. Oh, and enjoy the subbed trailer. Update: Also enjoy it subbed on YouTube

Would you rather Phoenix be a victim of bad fanfic worthy circumstances, or a man completely unable to ride a horse? I'd personally prefer he was chasing tail. It makes him seem like more of a man. [EDIT] Also, why do we have three topics on the main page relating to this? This topic is almost pointless. I would recommend merging this thread, the one made yesterday and the one on the Gyatuken XX rumor thread.

From the trailer, it seems that Prof Layton is the prosecutor. Just as well, since Edgeworth is busy with his own game and all, I'm sure he won't be jealous or anything XD But yay return of Lawyer!Nick! He is really tall. Layton looks the same height as Maya, but I guess his hat is part of him, haha I'm glad people are checking out Professor Layton because of this game (because it's quite fun and awesome). And I'm sure fans of the Professor Layton games are checking out Ace Attorney because of this as well, yay! I wonder how the gameplay would work though. You walk around as Layton finding and solving puzzles, and then as Phoenix Wright when you need to find contradictions? Also, I wonder when this game will be coming out, considering that AAI2 is in the works, and also Prof Layton 5 is supposedly a launch game for the 3DS. I'm assuming this thing will come out after those two? Poor Apollo, nobody cares about him XD

The ORIGINAL Wright fans? They should at least make it up to them, since they're going to miss all the awesomeness. Opinion 2: It makes the 3DS worth all the money.

Do you really think that's much better? He tends to drive his bike with a fried-egg-toast in his mouth and 5 tons of baggage on his back. I think that makes him a peril on the public streets. Nick should stick to Taxis.... I'm actually surprised Phoenix isn't accused of anything, dressed like he is. I mean, geez, those are the Dark Ages! They burned everything that even breathed suspiciously on the stake! I mean, Maya could excuse herself by saying "I'm a female Sage from the far east, the mystical land of Nippon, and will haunt your city if you dare to harm me!" but Nick sticks out in his suit...

I think it's 'cause while the story is set in neither the AAuniverse nor the PLuniverse, but the art style and the setting is closer to Prof.Layton's universe. btw, I think Wooster owes us a hat-eating :D

We've had more mentions of GS5 in the past two days then we've had in the past two years. Granted, some of those comments have been from Level-5. However, with Layton's install base, the gamers are going to be hankering for a new lawyer game.

Just in case we hadn't noticed.
