Ever heard of an iPhone type of game similar to DS's Professor Layton?

    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 :mad:

    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.
