The real twist of the Layton series was that the Layton series never existed. We were just victims of Hino's conditioning that made us subconsciously believe that the franchise existed and our brains did the rest of the work for us.
that would explain why your avatar is looking less and less like layton and luke as time goes by
Who knew that the gas from the second game transcended even outside of the game, it was all just our own imagination..
Not sure what you're talking about.
drat wish I’d thought of thatWho knew that the gas from the second game transcended even outside of the game, it was all just our own imagination..

My avatar is clearly just a picture of Balan Wonderworld and that kid you play as from that game.
well giving their current situation i imagine they might be some what willing to licence characters for such a thing so i might be down to nintendo/sakurai
no word, I wouldn't really count on seeing anything from them since they never really attended E3 before, even before the whole troubled phase they've been going through. That said, still nice that Namco is still willing to help them out with publishing their titles outside of Japan, at least for Ni No Kuni.
yeah let’s hope it works out for everyoneno word, I wouldn't really count on seeing anything from them since they never really attended E3 before, even before the whole troubled phase they've been going through.

By the way, this might shed a bit more light on what was going on at the Western Branch I suppose. Don't remember if we discussed this before.
LEVEL-5 abby Reviews
4 LEVEL-5 abby reviews. A free inside look at company reviews and salaries posted anonymously by employees.www.glassdoor.co.uk
I believe there was a post on 4chan that brought up some more details about what was going on there but I can't seem to find it anymore.
Really unfortunate what happened there and I hope the employees managed to find new jobs since then...
To be fair, it is Namco publishing those ports. If Level-5 is at E3, I imagine it'd be another case of "This is Level-5 indirectly," with a different company in charge of localization of the content.
Yeah, I saw some reddit posts about that. The treatment of workers sounds horrifying; sucks that it seemed easier to shut their western office down then just restructure, but I suppose that's the easiest way of dealing with the problem.
i know. considering their current position it might be nothing but ports for a while. until they get their money back up
Yeah the part about them having built a bad reputation throughout the industry and their previous partners not wanting to work with them in particular is quite concerning to hear. Might explain why we haven't seen anything from Level-5 show up in Smash at all after all this time...
they have? Oh dear
Yeah
I think this was probably the same guy that talked about what was going on at the western branch on 4chan.
oof sad as it is, it really sounds like they have no one to blame but themselves
More or less yeah, but as amageish said, I guess I don't blame them for shutting the whole western branch down over trying to salvage and restructure it, especially after the bad reputation it apparently got in the industry.
i thought brownie brown developed london life?
They are a subsidiary of Nintendo.
from what i read they werent owned by nintendo at the time
The sad thing is how similar that is to the crappy twists of the crossover.
hey lets not being insulting the crossover
Sorry, but I hate that ending. The game up until the moronic plot twists started pouring in, was pretty keen (despite quite a few flaws), but man, those last few chapters and that ending ruined the experience for me. I know Layton can have dumb plot twists and arbitrary skepticism, but it literally would've made more sense
i don’t think any games story makes sense when you analyse it
i remember onm did a bit speculating what layton kept under his hat
I mean, on one hand, the final reveal will probably be someone a little more lowkey and in a regular Direct at September iirc instead of some big event like E3 or the Game Awards. So we don't have too worry to much about any "showstoppers" taking over.
I agree on both things
They apparently at least have time to delay Inazuma Eleven to 2023 so I guess they have at least that much to turn things around for them....
What does/doesn't get spirit events continues to confuse me, honestly... Part of me wonders if they'll do a "bonus" Mii Costume wave before the Final Character just to try and make the crossover a bit bigger, but I think the only reason they had the non-fighter-assoicated Mii Costume wave in Sm4sh was due to the Cloud costume wave being very small...
What's this about Level 5 dying?
the company seems to be in a dire financial position with their american branch shutting down and barely any games on the horizon
Pretty neat that GameChamp did a challenge run with Curious Village (I'd imagine this one would probably be the biggest pain to do as well due to that one scale puzzle with randomized answers..)
Well, I didn't know you could do it that fast
