Level-5 looking to publish future Professor Layton titles without Nintendo

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments

“In a previous interview with Nikkei Trendy, Level 5 president Akihiro Hino said that the US office would be around ten people, made up of staff from Japan and those hired locally. He also said that he eventually wanted to handle the publishing internally for the Professor Layton series, which is currently handled outside of Japan by Nintendo.” – GamesBusiness.jp

Hmm…That could be very interesting. I’m expecting that the next Professor Layton title will be published by Nintendo in North America/Europe, but beyond that, it’s anyone’s guess.

Thanks to Robert for the tip!

No game night tonight/tomorrow, next week is questionable

Posted on 14 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Site updates | 7 Comments

If you didn’t already guess, there will not be a game night this week due to my absence from a Wii both tonight and tomorrow night. Sorry for any inconvenience on the part of those looking to play with us this weekend, and another apology for updating this so late! Also, I won’t be in town next weekend either, so I’m not entirely sure what we’re going to do about that! Give me some time to get creative and maybe we can work something out!

Until then, see you all!
