I was wondering if there was any games similar to Professor Layton on the DS. I just noticed that the newest one just came out yesterday, and how awesome it would be to get one on the iPhone. I feel like the controls would cross over nicely and its "casual" enough to be played on the go with the iPhone.
Layton is indeed awesome, but I doubt we'll ever see a game of that quality on the iDevices. (It requires insane production values to make a game like that)
Jim & Frank Mysteries looks like the closest you will get to it, though I haven't played it for myself. But Simon Graham and the Extraordinary Timepiece is easily recommended from me. I have played that one, and I really like it, though it's a bit simplistic in the story department. Layton is, too, but there's a deal of complexity to the Layton stories that this game does not have... I still recommend it, though
Because I've had other games to play and make progress in that have taken much higher priority? Does it matter?
