We saw the TV commercial for this game and thought the concept was good. Anything like that available?
Not that I know of but I have and fully enjoy Prof Layton. If a game like that does come it'll be a first day purchase It's kind of sweet how they made a story around a brain teaser game
It's Professor Layton. And sadly no there is nothing like it on the app store. It's not a nintendo brand that i'm aware of, it's developed by Level 5, so I suppose it could come at some point. However, the US has the first game and the second should be coming out soon. Japan has already received 3 games which make up a trilogy and will get the first game of a new trilogy later this year. It's basically a point and click game with lots of wonderful puzzles so it's a perfect fit for the iphone. However they may need to rework all the artwork to work on the single screen and the new screen ratio which would be a problem. I would love to see it happen though.
Level 5 already announced they are starting on a 4th Layton game. While good to know they still need to get the rest out of Japan still But yes this is a Level 5 IP so they can take it anywhere they want to. I think they even made a cartoon based off it.
That's good info, guys. Junior has it for his DS, and wifey-poo would like to have it for the iPhone.
You guys should check out The Jim and Frank Mysteries for the iPhone published by Chillingo! Hodapp just did a great review of the game. Includes 60 mind-boggling puzzles, 8 tasks and 2 mini-games. It's currently selling at a limited time launch price of $0.99!
