Phoenix Wright meet Professor Layton. Capcom's lawyer is going to appear in a game with Level-5's famous puzzle-solving sleuth.

Professor Layton And Ace Attorney Co-Starring In Upcoming Title Today in Tokyo, Level-5 revealed a Professor Layton and Ace Attorney crossover Nintendo 3DS game currently titled "Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney".

Ace Attorney creator Takumi Shuu will be working on the title, and the game's theme will be puzzles that are full of contradictions. Sounds perfect for a legal puzzle mash-up.

Professor Layton And Ace Attorney Co-Starring In Upcoming Title The game is set in Labyrinth City. The background is medieval, and the city is populated with witches. The villain is named the "story teller" and whatever he writes with his pen becomes reality.

Professor Layton And Ace Attorney Co-Starring In Upcoming TitleThe in-game trial is called "The Trial of the Witch", since Phoenix Wright's client is accused of being a witch.

This may be the best game ever. And by "may" I mean "can't not be."

Oh. My. God! O.O

This is like a fanfic done RIGHT!!!

Yet another reason to buy a 3DS.

Now excuse me while I go giddy Fanboy over here by the corner...

I'd rather see Jake Hunter vs. Professor Layton, with Layton in a Moriarty role.

Is it just me, or is the 3DS looking better and better every passing day?

Metal Gear Solid 3

And now this.

We don't even know what this is about, but going by the title it's safe to assume it will be the next in the Capcom VS. series.

Wow two of my favorite game series' combining forces; that is some cool stuff. My wife is excited too because we play these games together <3

What's really odd is that Phoenix and Maya are drawn in their style, with everyone else drawn in the Layton style. I cannot wait to get a 3DS!

It's only a working title.

For those that can't read or speak the moonrunes...

Actually, if you look carefully, The City and inhabitants are actually drawn in a third style that tries to blend the styles of both games (i.e. The one accused of being a witch has the Capcom style, while the Storyteller looks quite a bit like something out of Level 5) , which brings the possibility that both Wright and Layton are brought from different worlds by means of the Storyteller.

I can't emphazise how eager I am for this game. They say it's a rivalry, but deep down, they're all about uncovering the truth; they just happen to have completely different methods to come to the conclusion.

The fact that jokes like that can be made is probably the reason everyone's so excited for this.

Yeah, this thing is still going on:

I completely forgot about this game. What does that say about the hype for it?

That there isn't enough of it built up for you to be gloating about should it never come over here?
