It’s been awhile since we last hard about Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney. But in a discussion with Ace Attorney creator Shuu Takumi, Ace Attorney movie director Takashi Miike gave a small status update.

Miike said that development is “at its climax” and development is “progressing well”:

“Production on Layton vs Ace Attorney is at its climax. It’s like my entire life is focused on it. While I still can’t say much, it’s progressing well, so please wait a bit more.”

Takumi also spoke about the differences in working on Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney compared to his duties with the Ace Attorney film:

“While [Latyon vs Ace Attorney] is being developed jointly with Level-5, games are my job, so I can’t just leave it to someone else like with the movie.”

If there were to be a sequel to the Ace Attorney movie, it wouldn’t’ just be Ace Attorney 2 converted into a film. Miike would instead prefer to show sides of the story not presented in the games.

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.

With video game sales declining in the US, the Wii U will breathe fresh air in a market that some would say is suffering from a stagnating console generation. The system signals the beginning of a new cycle with brand new hardware, games, and the possibility for lots of sales.

Naturally, the prospects of a new console launch would entice retailers – especially GameStop. The retailer has expressed great excitement about the release of Wii U.

GameStop President Tony Bartel said:

“We’re very excited about the Wii U launch. We’re looking forward to that release, we’re looking forward to taking pre-orders. What we’re really excited about is it’s really the first part of the next console launch.”

For the First Time, Shoppers Can Either Buy the Packaged Game in Stores or Purchase and Download the Full Version Wirelessly from the Nintendo eShop

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Nintendo has launched both an exciting new game and a cool new system to play it on. U.S. residents can now get their hands on two of the hottest video game products of the year: New Super Mario Bros. 2 and the new Nintendo 3DS XL portable system. Nintendo 3DS XL offers screens that are 90 percent larger than the original Nintendo 3DS, and sells at a suggested retail price of $199.99.

The newest game to play on the system – or the original Nintendo 3DS system – is New Super Mario Bros. 2, the follow-up to the best-selling Nintendo DS game of all time, which sold more than 10.3 million in the United States alone. For the first time, Nintendo is giving consumers a variety of ways to buy the game. Shoppers can purchase a packaged game as usual at retail locations nationwide. They can go to a participating retailer and buy a code to download the game directly to their Nintendo 3DS system over a broadband Internet connection. Or they can simply purchase and download the game on their own from the Nintendo eShop using a wireless broadband connection. Regardless of purchasing method, the game sells at a suggested retail price of $39.99.
