There may be some hope for a European release of Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney.

Speaking at the Japan Expo in France yesterday, when asked if the 3DS game will be heading to the European markets, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino noted:

“Something’s in the works, but I can’t talk about it today. Please be patient.”

Level-5 published Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney in Japan, so they’d likely have control when it comes to releasing the title overseas. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has said that Nintendo is interested in helping Japanese companies bring their games to the west – maybe Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney could be one of them?

Namco Bandai put out one Tekken game on the 3DS, Tekken 3D: Prime Edition. This was a traditional Tekken experience. But if another entry in the series were to come to 3DS, it would probably be a card game.

Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada told French website Pockett:

“If we were to make a new Tekken game for Nintendo 3DS … We would do something else. A card game like Tekken Card Tournament is more likely. But, to date, there is no such plan.”

A series of new games hit the StreetPass Mii Plaza – in Europe and Japan – as downloadable content last month. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata recently said that these new mini-games came out because the company felt 3DS users would be itching for new content inside the app.

Iwata also drew comparisons to Wii Play: Motion. Much like that title, the StreetPass Mii Plaza games were created by individual developers. Also, had the model been in place and digital distribution saw a rise in popularity, Wii Play: Motion could have been considered as a DLC-type package.

Iwata additionally confirmed a fairly impressive stat: sales of the new StreetPass Mii Plaza games have already exceeded 200,000 digital copies.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata tackled a question regarding Virtual Boy games on the 3DS during the company’s most-recent investor meeting Q&A. This is something that we posted about last week, but we now have the official translation.

Iwata’s statement reads:

I cannot talk about any unannounced products on occasions like this, but Virtual Boy is a game console Nintendo launched in the past that allows players to experience a 3D world in black and red only by just looking into it. It was not a commercial success, but some say that it was an attractive and extremely unique product by the standards at that time. I believe your comment is that we should take advantage of our software assets from Virtual Boy and I would like to take note of that advice for the future.
