Hey, it's Layton's day on Rate their Chances. Just letting you know in case you want to give your two cents, if anyone can sell people on Layton, it's obviously you guys!

Just did my part and gave my chance and want ratings for the professor. Gotta lend our favorite gentleman a hand in times like this!

Oh well, was fun while it lasted...

At least we kinda have the Level-5 meeting for TGS to look forward too.
Hopefully something Layton related shows up there...

I was lucky today - I ended up finding the first 3 Layton for DS at s charity shop in very good condition.
So good in fact, they even had the codes for the club Nintendo promotion they were running still intact and unused.

Now if I had a time machine, I would be able to get that Layton display case for my collection!

Oof I always regretted not getting that game box for the original trilogy back when I had the chance.

I mean, I could probably get a used one off eBay but eh, it won't be the same...

 

[fogbadge]

am i the only who got it then?

 

[Brindor]

Really though, finding the case is a pain on eBay.
They either come with the three games themselves or the box itself is in bad condition.
Just such a pain, I'm not even much of a collector but damn these games would look good on my shelf in that little brown Layton box.

 

[fogbadge]

just to be sure we are all talking about the same case right?

 

[Curious Villager]

Pretty sure we're discussing the game box that was given out at Club Nintendo back when the original trilogy released.

For those who still don't have it, Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure is currently on a special sale in the 3DS eshop.

Their still doing stuff on the 3DS eShop?

I thought they discontinued the entire console productions the other day...

Still, that's pretty cool to know.

I mean, the Wii Shop Channel only shut down last year, so I imagine the 3DS eShop will continue to serve people for a long time at this point...

I don't know how long they'll continue to do sales, but if it's still giving them money, then I see no reason to stop. I imagine temporary discounts could make people go back to the 3DS in a way permanent discounts wouldn't, as yo can procrastinate a price reduction forever while you can miss a sale...

I mean, yeah they'd still keep the online and the eShop itself around for a while.

Just didn't know they where still doing things like sales and news and whatnot on there..

Sure they do, I regularly check it out for deals that might interest me. To compensate for my serious lack of a Switch.

 

[Curious Villager]

Well, the TGS is in full swing now.

Guess we'll see what Level-5's special meeting will be all about soon...

 

[fogbadge]

itll be good to know what the companys been up too

 

[Curious Villager]

Seems like they did focus mainly on those three aforementioned games.

However, Level-5 apparently has some more updates to show on October 5th.
Mainly some event service, so I guess there's that to look forward to..

well at least we know what theyve been up too and that the company shows no sign of being in as much trouble as people suggest

They seem fine yeah, at least they still got some planned titles for 2021 (asides from the often delayed Inazuma Eleven game which eventual release, if ever, is anyone's guess at this point...)

Since they seem to have some plans for October, hopefully we'll be hearing more from them and what else they've got in store very soon...

Megaton Musashi will supposedly get more info this December.

Anyway, I'll be off for a bit, there's nothing for me here right now.

 

[Curious Villager]

The next #SmashBrosUltimate DLC fighter will be revealed tomorrow at 7am PT! The video presentation will be roughly 3 minutes long, followed by a brief message from Director Masahiro Sakurai. Tune-in here tomorrow: https://t.co/7RL5x0EEVI pic.twitter.com/Fqmw03axMv

Oh thank heavens where finally getting some new info.

A bit concerned over the three minute runtime and Sakurai's message though.

Hopefully everything's alright over there...

run time probably means itll just be the trailer not a presentation

 

[Curious Villager]

Eh if ya'll want a little conspiracy.

L5 was founded in October. Not that I expect the next fighter to have anything to do with them or anything tho...

insert meme of hawkeye here

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Here's something interesting to consider: the Japanese Twitter hasn't confirmed any new information, as it's a direct translation of the NOA Tweet.

Chances are, we might get someone from the West tomorrow.

 

[Curious Villager]

Soooo uhh....

Where we at, Layton lads?

 

[GoodGrief741]

Disappointment town.

 

[Curious Villager]

Well if Ninty is having a grip on the choices then surely they've got a spot reserved for good o'll L5 right, right...?

They would, probably pick the ghost cat though...

 

[amageish]

I'm content. Kind of wish they'd rip off the band-aid and just reveal the remaining fighters though... Not because I have low expectations or anything, but because things feel very unpredictable and the idea of speculating for another year+ is becoming a little bit "I stare into the void of Smash speculation and the void stares back at me."

On that note, no clue what this means for Layton lol, if anything. A big third party could be read as good because more third parties or bad because I imagine Minecraft was expensive and ARMS may indicate they're saving money on licensing elsewhere...

Yeah Minecraft is probably the biggest IP they licenced for this pass, much like Hero was for the last pass.
There might be one more bigwig character in there somewhere (Probably "reserved" for next years E3, if there is one...) though the rest would probably be more along the lines of Terry, and Joker and whatnot.

So hopefully Layton would be able to manage to make it in there, somehow...

i can imagine they suggest both. i think the list of characters nintendo suggest is longer than the characters we get

 

[Curious Villager]

True, he did have Slime and Ninjara as alternative options if Hero and MinMin didn't work out for any reason.

Sakurai might keep one as a back up plan if he can't for any reason use the other. Though I'd imagine Hino would be fine with whichever they choose to go for.

Yeah, I guess the question is just what kind of characters they're interested in for the final four. If they focus on third parties with good relationships with Nintendo and no content in Smash, then I imagine Level-5 has to be in the top 4. If they go back and fourth between first parties, third parties in the game, and third parties not in the game... then we may have an issue.

I guess we should also be bracing for potential costuming at any point.

Sakurai's definitely leaving it vague about how the selection process works, which is probably a win-win for him and Nintendo. I don't think they gain much from us knowing the selection process beyond us complaining louder haha...

this is where luke gets in over everyone

Is.....is this the start of a puzzle?!
