Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies, the latest entry in Level-5’s puzzle-adventure franchise, has received a release date. According to this week’s Famitsu, the game launches on February 28. Pricing is set at 5,500 yen.

Level-5 is readying an interesting promotion for the game. Those who purchase Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies early may find some surprises in their copies, like a bronze statue or 18K gold coin. It’s kind of like a lottery.

A new version of Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask is heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop, Famitsu has revealed.

The download-only title, simply known as Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask – features new elements. There are now three save slots, new tutorials, hints for the “Ruins” mode, extra animations, events, puzzles, and more. If I’m reading this correctly, it also looks like it’ll come with all of the extra puzzles sent out online.

Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask launches on February 6 for 3,000 yen.

Satoru Iwata made a quick mention of a Wii U Virtual Console back in November. At the time, only two aspects were confirmed – that yes, Nintendo is working on the service for its new console, and it will support the GamePad.

A Nintendo of America has reconfirmed the Wii U Virtual Console and Off-TV play to Kotaku, but wouldn’t divulge any additional information.

The representative said:

“We do not have any specifics to share at this time. However, we are moving ahead with development of Virtual Console for Wii U, and we plan to make it so you can play it on the Wii U GamePad alone.”
