Thanks to X for the tip!
So far, only two Professor Layton titles have been released in Europe and North America as compared to five games in Japan. However, Nintendo might be ready to launch the third entry in the series overseas. Level-5 has registered a trademark for Professor Layton and the Unwound Future, which would leave one to believe that this is the localized name for The Last Time Travel. Don’t expect an immediate announcement from Nintendo, but it’s definitely possible that the company will say something next month at E3.
Today’s Pac-Man’s thirtieth anniversary, so you know what that means, right? An homage on the Google homepage! Not only is the game playable, but a second player can also join in on the fun. Simply press “Insert Coin” twice, and Ms. Pac-Man will pop up on the screen. Pretty neat, don’t you think?

Based on the first few seconds of the video, it’s clear that the ad is referencing Mario Kart. I’m sure that’ll stir up some negative sentiments from Nintendo fans, but I just don’t see the point of getting upset. It’s just an ad, after all! Mario Kart will continue to be successful, regardless of how the commercial portrays the series. How do you guys feel about it?
