Level-5 told Kotaku we can’t expect Professor Layton’s first animated feature stateside anytime soon, but trailers for the film have me hoping that it eventually makes the jump.
Pimple-removal, romance novels and liquor get advertised inside New York City subway cars. This morning, I walked into a car of the F train and, for the first time, saw a video game getting big-time promotion.
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box isn’t due Stateside for another month or so, but this full theatrical trailer for the movie that’s not coming out in North America should tide you over.
There comes a time in the week when it’s time to reflect on what got into my notebook but didn’t turn into Kotaku blog posts. Shall we?
We’ve been waiting since Game Developers Conference 2009 to get a look at Professor Layton’s next US-bound adventure, Diabolical Box. E3, where would we be without you?
Thanks, Lisa Kudrow. Your selfless shilling of Nintendo’s DS puzzler Professor Layton and the Curious Village may have guaranteed the American appearance of the sequel. Amazon.com is listing the second game for an August release.
