    Man whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
    whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

    Six days ago my husband started the Layton series and immediately said out of the blue: "Maaaaan. Phoenix Wright would be one tenth as long if Professor Layton was the main character." Offhandedly, he devised a crossover idea and--

    Whaaaaaaaaat.

    He's wrong, though. Phoenix can solve four to five cases in one game. Layton gets distracted by puzzles every ten seconds. He only solves one case per game.

    Uh... yeah. As much as this makes the 5 year old in me squee like a little girl, I'm also viewing this with the same eye that I used for the Mortal Kombat/DC crossover. Two IP's that according to all sane logic shouldn't ever be within spitting distance of each other... so why are they now? Not so much "You got chocolate in my peanut butter", but more "You got strawberry ice cream in my lasagna".

    Still, I'm not a complete killjoy. If the combo works, then that'll be frigging awesome, and I'll line up to enjoy my strawberry lasagna. And if nothing else, the one defining aspect that links both series is that they have some of the best and epic storytelling. A plot written by the AA and PL teams better be nothing short of epic.

    The thing is that Mortal Kombat and DC were totally at odds because one is about killing people in awful ways and the other is about T-rated violence

    Layton and Wright will work because they're both rather whimsical and rarely take themselves very seriously

    If nothing else, I wanna know what happened that got these two series together.

    I'm picturing the creators of PW and PL driving down a pitch black road, when suddenly they crash into each other. They both stumble out of their cars and look at each other. Then, both proceed to point at each other in the most over the top way possible that's related to their series. Then after a moment of silence, two lightbulbs go off and they both scream "Oh my god!"...

    Good lord, do not cross the fingers, you two! You'll obliterate all mankind!

    I also hope this could lead to the possibility of a full-on PW game by Level 5. Or better yet, an anime.

    Off-topic, but this is actually not true, considering contemporary DC comics are horribly violent (see #1). There was no reason for it to not be M. I'm sure it didn't boost sales a helluva lot.

    None of those characters are Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman though

    None of the big three are really allowed to kill anyone in graphic ways

    I mean, you're taking pictures of Black Adam fucking up someone's shit and saying that all DC superheroes are that violent

    Black Adam is a motherfucker. That's his thing. If he were in that game, maybe I would have actually given a shit!

    You've just described my wife's entire experience with Hatsworth. She won't give up, and she's pretty close to the end, but every time she picks up the game I wonder if today is the day we're going to have to shell out for another DS.

    But they also can't have the Big Three getting killed in awful graphic ways by ninjas and demons and shit

    It's a brand integrity thing

    It sucks for that crossover, but that's the reality

    I'm not sure who thought that shit was a good idea, really

    This can't be possible.

    Maybe he says something that's properly gentlemanlike... "Pardon, but there's a contradiction in your testimony"


    PARDON!!!

    Sirs, Neither one is needed!

    Do you know the literal translation of the "Objection!" yell in Japanese?

    "I disagree."

    Am I the only one who thinks animated Phoenix looks weird? Not bad weird, but more like I'm used to everything about him and the games being static images or simple 3 frame animations. It looks odd to see him actually moving and such.

    Kind of disappointed that the trailer doesn't show any gameplay footage, but boy does Level 5 know how to make gorgeous looking games.

    The really shocking thing is that as good as this game looks in screenshots & trailers, in actual life, it's going to be in 3D.
