REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–One is a brilliant archeologist who has traveled the world solving puzzles and unearthing ancient civilizations. The other is a bumbling defense attorney whose sense of justice is matched only by his sense of style. The two seem like an unlikely pair, but with the life of an innocent girl at stake in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the two heroes join forces to tackle an enigmatic mystery big enough for both of them. The Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney game launches for Nintendo 3DS on Aug. 29 and combines the puzzle-solving satisfaction of the Professor Layton series with the courtroom drama of the Phoenix Wright franchise.

“This is the whole truth and nothing but the truth: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is an absolute treat for longtime fans of both series and newcomers who love puzzles and engaging stories”

Things will kick off at 8 AM ET / 5 AM ET.

A new Nintendo 3DS Direct will be held tomorrow, the company has announced. Thus far, it’s for Japan only.

The Nintendo 3DS Direct will be held at 8 PM Japan time (7 AM ET, 4 AM PT). You can find the official page here.

The recently reported Limited Edition SteelBook set to release for both upcoming games was exciting enough, but now we are discovering more goodies for European Pokemon fans.

Pokemon Alpha Saphire – Miniature representation of Primal Kyogre

Pokemon Omega Ruby – Miniature representation of Primal Groudon

Nintendo has announced a special release of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire in Europe.

As a special collectible for fans at launch, the Limited Edition SteelBook software bundles will be available, where copies of the games are packaged in their standalone casing and presented alongside limited edition metallic cases displaying Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. These two Pokemon meet face to face in an iconic artwork covering the inside of the casing for both games.

The Pokemon Omega Ruby Limited Edition SteelBook and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Limited Edition SteelBook software bundles can be pre-ordered at GAME and the Official Nintendo UK Store now while supplies last.

Theatrhythm producer Ichiro Hazama stated in an interview with German website Planet3DS recently that he’d like to see the Theatrhythm formula brought in to other franchises. Curtain Call will be the last in the series to feature Final Fantasy music and he’s looking for potential avenues for the future of the series. Here’s the quote:

From my personal view, I really like what we’ve created here – the Threatrhythm series and the type of game. And yes, even though this is the end of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, I really don’t want to bring the Theatrhythm series as a whole to an end. Obviously I don’t have anything we can announce at the moment but we really would like to move out and go into other titles. So you can certainly expect something from Theatrhythm like that in the future.

Today’s Super Smash Bros. 3DS screenshot gives us a new look at character customization. Take a look below:


Update: We’ll just throw this in as well as opposed to making a new post. werejack is claiming that two new Wii U bundles for North America – LEGO City: Undercover and New Super Mario Bros. U – are also on the way.


Earlier this month, Nintendo announced a special Smash Bros.-themed 3DS XL for Europe. A similar system has yet to be confirmed for North America, though it’s possible that we’ll be hearing something in September.

Twitter user “werejack” claims that Nintendo has something planned for the states as well, but “it might be different from the Europe one.” He suggests that the North American Smash Bros. 3DS XL will be “bluer.”

We normally wouldn’t post this sort of conjecture, but werejack actually leaked news of the Zelda: Wind Waker HD Wii U bundle, black 3DS XL, and red/blue Pokemon 3DS XL systems prior to their announcements last year. Hopefully werejack’s latest tweets are accurate as well!

This week’s Famitsu has another update on Final Fantasy Explorers. There’s one game element in particular worth bringing to your attention.

According to the magazine, Final Fantasy Explorers allows “legendary characters” (main characters from the series among others) to join the fight. This is possible with the transformation ability which allows players to change their form for a limited time.

Final Fantasy VII’s Cloud Strife is the first classic character reveal, and Famitsu shows a couple of screenshots. We should be hearing about more legendary characters in the coming weeks and months.
