Mmmh, this smells like a puzzle!

He’s alive!
Let’s hope the puzzles are OK this time.

I’m in shock. As a huge fan of Layton I thought the series was dead.
Frogmouth_Fresh
Holy shit!

Literally the best announcement today. I’ve missed our boi Layton.

Guess I’ll have to buy my mom a Switch now. I kept her in DSs of both types because of this series.

This wonderful feeling of happiness and comfort at seeing this game reminds me of a puzzle…

I thought the ds series ended well and never played katrielle. But I’m still excited for this one!!

This might be amazing, but what I really want is the original trilogy to be on Switch <.<
​
Because I know that was incredible.

This was the last thing I was expecting, especially with Akira Tago passing and how poorly the prior “spin off” game was received. I hope they can do the series justice, absolutely loved these games and will be waiting eagerly.

I’m literally crying 😭
This is my childhood and I cannot wait for this

If this really is the followup teased in Unwound Future… many happy tears will be shed.

This is the only series my wife will properly sit down and play herself because she’s not much of a gamer and I absolutely can’t wait to surprise her with it.
TheGoodProfessor
THEY SAID IT COULDN’T BE DONE
THEY SAID HE WAS DEAD
THEY WERE WRONG
holy shit i’m so fucking excited unwound future is my favourite game of all time

This was probably the biggest news for me in the Direct…too bad we didn’t get any actual info about the game🤔 Hopefully Layton will be the lead again – the game with Katrielle was so boring I quit after about 5 hours in and sold the game.

Level 5 is back baby!!
Jenaxu
Level 5 is really gonna carry the rest of the release schedule until Switch 2 at this rate lolol

I LITERALLY SCREAMED WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THIS I CAN’T WAIT!!!

TheRealBroseph
“You boys got any Advil?”
“Bro we thought you died”

I legitimately just beat Curious Village, my first Layton game, last night, lol. This timing is so great.

This and Ghost Trick excited me more than it should have. The biggest surprise in a Direct for a long time honestly

Welcome back, Professor

I love Layton so much and I thought I’d never see him again, I’m so happy

Fantastic unexpected news! I’ve missed Layton, and if this is an Unwound Future follow up, then hype is real.
The only concern I have about this is who’ll they’ll get to come up with puzzles. I get that Akira Tago passed, but whoever came up with the puzzles in Katrielle wasn’t good and I hope they don’t come back for this.

On the one hand, I know this was a financially calculated move from Level 5 since their attempts at new IPs haven’t taken off so bringing the Professor back is an easy way to fanservice, but on the other hand HOLY SHIT NEW PROFESSOR LAYTON GE AND IT LOOKS SO GOOD???? AAAAAAAAAA
LogicisGone
Came into today excited for Zelda, ended the day excited for Layton. Let’s go!
Pebbicle
This is mega hype. Layton is one of the best game series ever in my eyes and nothing comes close to the cozy, magical feelings it provides. This is going to be great.
Bi-bara-boop
Holy shit… Last time, it was all farming sims, now it’s all detective sims and. I. CAN’T. WAIT.
This reminds me of a puzzle ;D
Sunset-of-Stars
The best parts of this Direct for me were new Layton, new Fantasy Life and the Ghost Trick remaster! I’m glad Level 5 is still releasing games!
nightwinghugs
man, professor layton was just perfect for the DS/3DS with the second screen for writing and solving puzzles. i wonder how the mechanics will translate over to the switch?

**Level-5 is back baby!**
Sappariko
Like everyone else, I’m really excited to see Layton’s return after so long! Heck, the artsyle was immediately eye-catching IMO and I can’t wait to see more.
pbnchick
I love these games even though they make me feel like an idiot.

I am happy for Layton fans, and look forward to later reading about how the “new world of steam” was actually faked using paid actors and quantum computing or something.
