Take this with quite a few grains of salt, but Spanish games retailer Xtralife has put up a listing for PLvsAA with a release date of October 18th, 2013, though it notes the date is 'subject to change'.

Obviously, this is just one site and could very well just be an overzealous retailer - especially given they're using fanart for the box art - but it does fit the usual time frame for Layton releases. We'll just have to wait and see. It's also worth noting that the site has had a PLvsAA listing for quite some time, previously with the obviously incorrect date of November 11th, 2012.

If this is a legitimate confirmation of a European release, then

I'm so happy! (sorry for adding to the overhaul of gifs :sillytrucy:

I dunno, last time a site listed a game using fanart it didn't turn out well.

Granted that was Capcom listing a whole fangame in it's library but I'll hold out.

It's real cool if it does.

I don't trust retailers with this kind of thing, but I do at least respect the retailer for acknowledging the game's existence. I will be waiting for official confirmation of a Western release.

This looks really sketch, especially considering the cover, but I have to wonder about the fact that it's available for preorder. It's hard to imagine a company being irresponsible enough to open orders for a game that hasn't actually been confirmed for release. If not for that, I would have written this off as wrong, but let's wait and see!

Alright, guys, I know it's exciting and there's not a ton of room for discussion, but try and have a little more content in your posts than endless gifs, eh? :garyuu:

So what else do we talk about other than the obviously photoshopped picture or suspiciously early pre-order option? I certainly don't want to see someone making bets over this. But at least we have the hype for it, and it's all in good favor.

On that note, how about predictions for what the European release has for a cover? It's really tough to beat the one we've already seen, though.

I can understand that there's a lot of skepticism, and even I've seen shops put up pre-orders for games that didn't come out for a good 2 years after their E3 announcement (Like Luigi's Mansion 2 and Paper Mario), so It's not a stretch to see retailers assuming it'll come out this year. I don't think this has been enough time to fully translate the whole game (Seeing as Professor Layton games take a little longer than this). Maybe if the listing was set for 2014, that'd make more sense.

In the reviews I have read, PL vs AA is basically one PL game and one AA put into one huge game. (like 30 hours of gameplay)
That would, in theory, take a lot of time to localize. I'd set my listings for Winter 2013 - Spring 2014.

I understand where you are coming from, however we do not know how long the localisation teams have been... localising this game for. It is Pretty much a full Layton game, but more of a case 1, 2 and 5 of Ace Attorney (In terms of length, my rough estimate, don't hold me to it), but they are intertwined, so it is hard to say that it is 2 games in one, when in fact it is just one well crafted game. My guess is they would have the AA localisation team and the Nintendo one working together for this one, for consistency, however, once again, i know nothing. I would say a November 2013 release, end of October at a push.

So having earlier cautioned to be wary of retailers, allow me to present some evidence that is even more ridiculous and sketchy than what has already been given.

This tweet, from a fellow Court Recordsian (not being a regular here I'm afraid I can not say who) was retweeted by GAME (the biggest game retailer in the UK). Could this amount to confirmation that PL vs AA is coming to Europe? Well no, absolutely not, but again it's nice to see the game get some acknowledgement from European retailers.

Level 5's black box has returned: http://www.level5ia.com/blackb0x/

However, considering what the black box was last time, this is probably just Guild02. The fact that the cube splits into two when you click twice is a pretty good hint too.

Not that that's a bad thing, I got loads of fun worth my money out of Crimson Shroud.

I am not sure if this will be the date though I see a good chance since Professor Layton games have been traditionally coming out around Sept/Oct for the last several years. Also while its true that most of the games have had larger gaps I think that had more to do with the release schedule since they had for years been coming out in a steady timeframe in the West and this would fit right into that pattern. Also 9 months is not an unreasonable time for a localization. For example, Apollo Justice, and the first Miles Edgeworth game came out to the west in that amount of time and that had a large amount of text to deal with. Granted that was Capcom not Level 5 but I don't see why they should be much slower especially since Capcom is involved with the game as well. In the end we can`t yet know if it will come out at that time but i don`t see an issue with 9 month to localize.
