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!
