I thought the series was donezo. I’m so happy they proved me wrong

The Level 5 redemption arc, I’m so glad it’s happening. I missed Professor Layton so much!!

This game series was my childhood! Curious Village was one of the reasons I bought a DS Lite (along with Nintendogs)
I loved getting a new Prof Layton game every Xmas. Thought the Katrielle game was alright, but it couldn’t fill the void. When this popped up I was actually squealing!

I saw the hat and my whole body did a factory reset 😭😭😭

This was honestly the most hype announcement for me, absolutely did not see it coming and the art is beautiful as always.
On a different note, as a fan of this series’s distant, jurisprudent cousin, if you had told me 5 years ago that we’d get a new Layton game before we got Ace Attorney 7 I would have told you to pull the other one.

Layton was the last thing I expected! I noticed the art style and then a gentlemanly silhouette in the bottom and almost threw my phone. I’m so happy they brought it back, I can’t wait to see the puzzles that are coming now!😁

This was my LITERAL childhood, I am so happy they’re making a new one! Wow, I didn’t expect this at all!
Very excited to see Layton make a comeback. Really hope the puzzle quality is better than it was in Mystery Journey.

Weirdly, I was wondering when I got up this morning if there’d be another one some time. That’s odd timing, but I’m excited~

Best of the direct for me hehehehehehe

This is amazing! I was watching the Fantasy Life bit and thinking how much I missed the Professor Layton series and then this happened. Also, I love the art style here!

Really looks like Level 5 is looking to be in a some sort of resurgence here. After all the hardships that studio’s been through in the last few years they sure as heck needed one.

Wonder who Layton’s new apprentice will be now? Will Luke reprise his role? Will Flora finally be given a chance? Or will there be a new character to guide Layton through this mysterious new world?

It’s been 10 years and I couldn’t be more thrilled

I was stunned and so, so happy even though I still haven’t played one of his games.

Maybe they will re-release the Azran series so we can catch up on the story. Found miracle mask late, amazing game. Wanted to play the next one, but the 3ds prices are insane.

I really got surprised, i thought level 5 would never return, but it seems they are ready again to explore the west market, hopefully we finally get a professor Layton tv show or another movie.

As someone who missed out on the series during the DS years, I’m deeply glad the series is still going on, and it’s coming to the Switch so I can experience it.

This and Fantasy Life are my surprise hype games.

Made me squeal, even though I haven’t beaten the 3DS games so technically I have not run out of content.
Just watched the movie last week!

Our childhoods will be relived!
The absolute best announcement of the direct.
I thought I was excited for Zelda until I saw this 🙌

I will never catch up with this series. I’ve now completed 5 of the 7.
I suppose my goal will be to buy and play through one more before this comes out so that my ratio can be 6 out of 8.

I just woke up and Professor Layton is back?! Yes! YES! I was so sad when he was gone. I never wanted Lady Layton. I only want Professor Layton and Luke 😀

I actually didn’t mind this one, considering I thought they forgot about him.
MaliceShine

This needs to be cross platform! Replaying the series at the moment, and just finished Spectre’s Call the other day.
