Oh, come on. Everyone wants to know when this cross over is coming out, but Level-5 x Capcom have been suspiciously mum on a date other then 2012. But we can do better then that. Here's a recap of events so far.


So what does this mean going forward? Professor Layton is as close to a Mario as Level-5 gets. Assuming there's going to be a Level-5 World/Vision event this year (And if tradition holds, we won't learn about the October event until August) I would find it highly suspect if Layton's gameplay was not premiered then, if not teased at Tokyo GameShow. Yes, it's a long time until then, but remember we didn't see much focus on Phoenix and his gameplay until leading up to Ace Attorney's anniversary event. It would be extremely fair for Layton to be shown off at a time that's convenient for Level-5.

So, here's the expected turn of events this year.

  1. Level-5's event is announced in August
  2. TGS is September 20-23rd
  3. Level-5 Event in October - Focusing on Layton gameplay

So great, Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney is coming out in Japan in October!

Nope. Does it make sense to end marketing a collaborative game with focus on just one character and his gameplay? Nah, the Level-5 event green lights the earliest they can start marketing both franchises together again. Could that mean November?

On the far end of the scale assuming Layton vs Ace Attorney is still on track for a 2012 release date; The last games Capcom and Level-5 both released for the 3DS in in 2011 were early-mid December, Monster Hunter and Inazuma 11. December 10th and 15th respectively. So Mid December is a reasonable last ditch effort.

Realistically, Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney is looking at a late Fall / Holiday release date.

As for in English? Who knows. E3 starts June 5th in two months. We could learn something then, or maybe nothing until after the Japanese release. In either case, expect a lot of nothing for the time being. :sadshoe:

Ah, poor Woost. The news droughts are always hard.

In all seriousness, I'm not surprised the game seems on track for a late 2012 or even 2013 release; the interviews we've had so far suggest that development has been quite difficult (as is to be expected with this sort of collaboration), and odds are it didn't get fully underway until after Mask of Miracle was released.

As for localization news, E3 would be the most likely candidate, though I'm sure the English version of Mask of Miracle will be getting plenty of showtime there, which means PLvsAA most likely won't.

Speaking of English news, Bolt, doesn't the Captivate embargo get released today?

Mhm, in about two hours if I'm not mistaken, though a few things (like Lost Planet 3) have already been leaked out.

That's all the info I can find. Bolt or someone, can you do a write up? I'm indisposed.

Edit: bah, false lead. Was from Captivate 09.

Edit2: http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=175280 Nothing for Nintendo from Captivate.

Capcom’s Christian Svensson took to the company’s forums once again to address the criticism. He asked fans for their patience and hinted at more announcements “in the coming months”.

In one message, Svensson wrote:

“I understand you want MH and other franchises… patience.”


And in another:

“We will have additional announcements of more products in the coming months and perhaps what you seek will be there.”

Other franchises huh? He could be talking about anything at this point(AAI2, PLvsAA), but still it looks like we have to wait once again...

I just read the original thread. Man, what ungrateful wenches the fans are. Some jerks are expecting Capcom to cancel the event because stuff was leaked, others wanted Capcom to pull stuff they might've shared at E3. Others have their panties in a bunch because their favorite franchise wasn't discussed.

I don't think they have a clue how far in advanced these things are planned, or that if things aren't ready they can't be shown, as they learned with Flock when Croik went to Captivate 08, or even prioritizing what gets shown off when. If they burn through everything at Captivate, that's bad press down the road at E3.

And canceling something because it was leaked? How is that in Capcom's control? And what pray tell could they possibly replace it with? It makes me sick learning people can be this ungrateful to forget all manners.
