New Professor Layton and the Unwound Future Game Comes Loaded with Puzzles and Adventure

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– London is in trouble and only Professor Layton can help! The popular series of portable games featuring Professor Layton has built a reputation for fun puzzles woven into the context of a mystery. Sunday marked the launch of the third game in the series, Professor Layton and the Unwound Future™, made exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ family of systems. The game launches just as the Nintendo DSi™ suggested retail price has dropped to $149.99 and the Nintendo DSi XL™ suggested retail price has dropped to $169.99.


– 30 FPS when 3D being used
– Motion blur actually being tested
– Team trying to see if motion blur fits with 3D visual output
– Motion blur may/may not be in the final product
– Not much different in visual quality when 3D is turned on/off

This information comes from Capcom’s head of production Jun Takeuchi…

“[Revelations] is a completely new project that we started up after hearing about the 3DS. It’s not a project that was progressing on separate hardware and was moved to the 3DS.”

“The images since the game’s E3 unveiling have all been real time rendered on the 3DS development hardware. It seems as though people didn’t believe us at first, but we’d like you to know that the 3DS is capable of this level of expressive power.”


We gave you a glimpse of this boxart a few days ago, but it was a very tiny image. Now, however, you can finally take a look at it without having to use a magnifying glass!


The Nintendo DSiWare™ and WiiWare™ services offer a wide variety of downloadable games to satisfy players of all kinds, and with this week’s new additions, the selection just keeps on growing. For Nintendo DSi™ users, Castle Conqueror delivers real-time strategy excitement for casual players, while Crazy Pinball puts arcade-style thrills in the palm of your hand. Meanwhile, Adventure on LOST ISLAND – Hidden Object Game lets Wii™ owners put their searching skills to the test with an adventurous twist.


To be honest, I was a bit letdown by the participation for our Grease: The Game contest. Even though it’s not exactly the sort of title that everyone would enjoy, I figured an easy contest like the one we set up would bring in a lot of entries! But even with the small number of comments, in the end, we did come down to four winners. And they are…

357 Lobster – Can choose Wii or DS version
Captain N – Can choose Wii or DS version

Please send us your shipping information as soon as possible via the contact form! In the event that we don’t receive a response in a short amount of time, we will choose a different winner(s).

Now, moving on to another site topic, I want to let everyone know that there will be a Game Night this week. Austin’s Wii has been acting up the past couple of weeks, which is why the event has been missing in action lately. I’m still not sure if his system will be up and running by Friday, but I’ll take over the hosting duties if Austin can’t make it! Either way, make sure you’re on the site at 8 EDT!
