This is amazing. For the third year in a row, a Professor Layton name has been trademarked in the US right before E3.

You know what that means! We’ll probably receive a Professor Layton localization announcement next month.

Level-5 filed a trademark for Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask just recently. Conveniently enough, that’s the next game in the series waiting to be brought stateside.

The official Twitter account for Bravely Default: Flying Fairy has provided a few details about Square Enix’s upcoming RPG.

It’ll take 60-70 hours to complete Bravely Default. Well, maybe “complete” isn’t the best word. You can beat the game in 60-70 hours, but there’s still lots to do once you’ve seen the credits.

Bravely Default’s initial demos and promotion surrounded the game’s AR components. Interestingly, these elements comprise just 1% of the experience.

The title’s battle system’s involve summons. These apparently feature “elaborate visualizations”.

Another recent Square Enix release, Kingdom Hearts 3D, received a special 3DS system in Japan. It appears that Bravely Default won’t be getting the same treatment.
