GR: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney may seem like wild, out-of-the-box horseplay, but Capcom is a publisher known for crossover hybrids with other properties like Street Fighter X Tekken, Project X Zone, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Capcom vs. SNK. Not only is it encouraging to find a developer that's so willing to collaborate with others, but it's a calculated, concerted marketing effort to reach gaming audiences of different brands. While Capcom and Level-5 don't have prior experience combining two puzzle-based franchises together, and the entire concept seems downright ridiculous on paper, the blend is surprisingly cohesive and agreeably straddles the line between logic-intensive riddles and comic relief.
The top 10 rarest 3DS games of all time are probably ones you both did and didn't expect. Especially if you had these games!
I have Fire Emblem Fates LE, the European one. Not sure if it's as valuable as the US version, but it certainly was in high demand.
Its not often I actually have games on the 'most expensive list' but I do own Rhythm Thief and Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I believe both of them are sealed as well.
Nice! Hopefully they re-release the Layton games on the Switch. Surprised they haven't already
NWR:
Presenting a new feature we hope you don't have any objections to.
They said it would never happen, and then they said it would never release outside of Japan. When Level 5 and Capcom announced they were teaming up for Professor Layton x Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney, the immediate speculation was it wasn’t going to come west following the disappointing sales of Ace Attorney Investigations and its sequel not even being localized. Also, there is the complication of having Nintendo as the publisher of the western Professor Layton games. Thankfully, the deals were signed and the game released in North America on August 29, 2014.
gamrReview's Brent Galietti: "Your winner, and still champion of the handheld market, the Nintendo 3DS! It's unsurprising that Nintendo's 3DS is leading the competition, because Nintendo has dominated this market hand over fist since the original Game Boy. With the Vita fading into complete obscurity, maybe Nintendo could rest on its laurels and focus on the Wii U and its next console... or it could release a Super Smash Bros. title on a handheld for the first time ever. They, of course, chose the second option. It wasn't alone in the 3DS library this year, but could any of them win in an upset?"
I'm just glad this came over. Some of my favorite Japanese games have been slow to make the swim lately.
I've never really gotten into either series, but I might take a chance on this.
It's sad that it takes forever for gems like this to come to the States...
