I’m not actually sure if Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney is covered in the latest Famitsu. However, it does have a substantial ad in this week’s magazine.

You might be wondering why this is important. After solving the ad’s puzzle, one early “Famitsu-getter” believes that the game could release on November 29. That isn’t set in stone just yet though, and we may have to wait just a short while for confirmation.

This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PS3/360) – 10/9/10/10
Samurai Warrior: Chronicle 2nd (3DS) – 9/9/9/8
Medabots 7 (3DS) – 8/8/7/7
Axel World (PS3) – 7/7/7/7
Axel World (PSP) – 7/7/7/7
Elminage Ibun: Ame no Mihashira (PSP) – 6/6/5/6

Even though Famitsu reviewed the PlayStation 3/Xbox 360 version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2, that high score is great news for Nintendo fans. The Wii U will be getting its own edition of the fighter later this year, so if the score above can be trusted, it’ll be a nice addition to the console’s lineup of titles.

Ace Attorney 5, otherwise known as Gyakuten Saiban 5, is coming to Nintendo’s latest portable. This week’s Famitsu reveals that the game is in the works for the 3DS.

Based on what’s leaked out so far, it seems that you’ll be playing out as Phoenix Wright. It’s a fresh start for players. It also looks like there’s a mysterious new female partner with a yellow dress.

As promised, Famitsu has a look at Capcom’s full slate of games this week – including Monster Hunter 4. The magazine published a report on a new weapon, the “hunting insect”.

Head on below to read about this new weapon, along with other details.

– Use the weapon by marking a target monster
– Release the insect and it’ll head out to the monster and suck up its energy
– When you call the insect back, it’ll use what it collected to strengthen your character
– The “energy” the insect sucks up is called “EX” (or EXE)
– The property it strengthens is indicated by its color
– White: increases speed
– Red: increases attack strength
– Green: increases vitality
– Orange: increases defensive strength
– Hunting insects can jump
– They could reach areas that you can’t
– Goa Magara: A new monster that is a major part of the story, more details later
– Step Actions: When you find height differences in the land, you can run through these to make your character jump; while in mid air, you can perform attacks
– Synthesis: Your two partner Felynes can team up for a group attack

Thanks to 4Him for the tip.

Nintendo is still continuing its push for 3DS download games in Japan.

By purchasing these titles on the eShop, consumers will be rewarded with 40 points as opposed to 20.

Renegade Kid is pushing to get Mutant Mudds on Steam. It’s already available on other PC distributors, such as GOG and Green Man Gaming.

While discussing casual confirmed that the twenty “Granny” levels from the PC version will be coming to the 3DS. Best of all, the DLC will be free to all buyers.

Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham mentioned on his blog:

“You might be asking yourself, ‘Why should I vote for Mudds on Steam?’ when you may already have Mutant Mudds on your 3DS, or you’re waiting for the 20 new Grannie levels to land on the eShop (which is totally going to happen btw, as a free update). You may also be thinking to yourself, ‘Erp, I don’t want to play Mutant Mudds on Steam or even the PC for that matter!'”
