The next game in the Professor Layton game series, Layton’s Mystery Journey, is out this year – but what’s in store for the series after that? Speaking to Eurogamer, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has said the following about a possible Layton game on the Nintendo Switch:
I played Zelda. I love the Switch. I think it’s amazing hardware. The problem is, the Layton series does a lot with the touchscreen and pointing. So, the problem with the Switch is, if you play on handheld you can do it, but if you put it on the dock… we’re trying to figure out how that would play into it.
If we can get around that and figure out a way of doing it, definitely we’re looking into putting the next Layton onto the Switch.
At the very least, it’s good to see Level-5 being so frank about it, and it seems they are committed to figuring things out with regards to a Switch game.
Yo-kai Watch 3 has been continuously getting updates in Japan that add new content, and the next one is on the way. Update 4.0 will be released this Summer and will, among other things, add several new Yo-kai. Each of the game’s three versions will get one exclusive Yo-kai:
- Sushi version: Indie J
- Tempura version: Neko 2-sei
- Sukiyaki version: Zom Bie C
New Yo-Kai will also be added to the game’s Busters T mode: Mr. Scope, Eldragon, Hino Tori, Cleplepatra, Yamato Bokeru.
A new Grand Hero Battle featuring Legion (from Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem) is going live tomorrow. As usual, you can obtain a 3 star version and a 4 star version of that character if you can beat the map on Hard or Lunatic.
There should be a new Summoning Focus going live tomorrow tied into the Grand Hero Battle but at the moment we don’t have details on that.
