“Dark Phoenix” could have been in Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney

A new Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney art book is now available. The product launched in Japan last week.

One of the book’s pages contains a rather interesting illustration. It seems that “Dark Phoenix” was initially considered for the 3DS game, but didn’t make the final cut for some reason.

I wonder… what other secrets does this art book hold?
