Professor Layton celebrates 10th anniversary, official Twitter page opens
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
The very first Professor Layton game debuted in Japan back on February 15, 2007. That’s right: the series is now ten years old.
In celebration of the milestone, Professor Layton now has its own Twitter account. You can keep track of any updates that may surface here.
Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino had some fun with Professor Layton earlier today. It looks like he held a special event in Japan to promote the anniversary – here are a couple of photos:
