Nintendo studio Brownie Brown helped make Mother 3. It also, quietly, made a Professor Layton role-playing game, available only in the Japanese and American versions of DS game Professor Layton and The Last Specter. More »
If Nintendo released Professor Layton's London Life as a standalone DS game, we'd be totally into it. As this trailer shows, the Brownie Brown-developed RPG offers an alternate take on the Layton world, with sprite-based characters, a top-down, explorable London, and a purported 100 hours of gameplay.
We're glad Nintendo didn't find out we felt that way, because London Life is totally thrown in as a bonus with Professor Layton and the Last Specter. We ... hope Nintendo's already printed the carts, now that we've said that.
The official website for Professor Layton and the Last Specter is now open, but it's only in teaser form. You can hop over to see some old media, but the site is sure to be updated soon, due to the release date sneaking up on us!
Professor Layton and the Last Specter, arriving October 17 in North America, will hit European shores on November 25 -- with a slight name alteration, as Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call.
Less a tweak and more a reduction in the European version is the absence of Professor Layton's London Life RPG. It was developed by Brownie Brown, who you may know as the developers of Mother 3 (another game that you might not have gotten to play). So, who wants to start looking for the best import deals?

Another tweak in the European version is Spectre's Call will won't include the Professor Layton's London Life RPG, developed by Brownie Brown, who you may know as the developers of that Mother 3 game you've likely never played. So, who wants to start looking for the best import deals?
A new trailer has arrived for Professor Layton and the Last Specter, which will see a North American release on October 17. The game will act as a prequel to the first three Layton games, spawning a brand new trilogy of its own...
This trailer for the latest Professor Layton game, the Last Specter, gives us a refresher on the story so far -- including characteristically hilarious moments, like a super-serious cutscene transitioning into a puzzle about stacking hamburgers.
Here's the confusing bit: since Last Specter is actually a prequel, set at the time of Layton and Luke's first meeting, none of the things being recapped have happened yet in the new game. This would probably be a lot harder to deal with if we actually tried to pay attention to the stories in Layton games.

Professor Layton is Back with a Puzzling Prequel
This fourth installment of the Professor Layton puzzle adventure series begins a new trilogy that is a prequel to the original games. Three years before the events in the Professor Layton and the Curious Village™ game, Professor Layton receives a letter from his old schoolmate Clark, telling him that "a mysterious giant is destroying the town." The professor heads to the town of Misthallery to investigate, and is joined by Emmy, his new assistant. What is the meaning of all the destruction, and is it related to the village's folklore legend of a "specter"? The unfolding story details how Professor Layton and his apprentice, Luke, met.
