Inafune, Hino talk Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
First, Keiji Inafune commented on the title, and even stated that he was “80 per cent certain” that Capcom would turn down the possibility of Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton starring in the same game…
“I thought it would be impossible. Phoenix Wright is handled very carefully within Capcom. [Shu Takumi] doesn’t listen to what people say. Nobody but Hino could have thought of it. In a sense, we’re rivals, so usually you wouldn’t want to do this sort of thing…It wasn’t a case of licensing out the Phoenix Wright characters and demanding our licence money. That isn’t a collaboration, and users would see that. For this standalone game, we wanted to create a great history, which would have been impossible if both parties were not fully involved.”
Next, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino talked about the game a bit, and indicated that Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton will have a showdown…
“I think the fans of both games want to see a showdown, and also want to see a scene where [Layton and Wright] join hands and take on a really big challenge…We want to fill the game with both aspects.”
Hino also discussed the influence of Phoenix Wright on the Professor Layton series…
“We researched the good and bad points of Phoenix Wright, developed the good points and overcame what I saw as the bad points – that’s how we created Professor Layton.”
