Professor Layton and the Unwound Future Jumps a Week Closer to the Present
Posted by Trevor Chan
North America hits 88 and skips a week
With the recent announcement of a Professor Layton game on the 3DS, let's not forget the platform on which the popular series made its debut. In a truly time-puzzling manner, Nintendo has confirmed that Professor Layton and the Unwound Future will be launching a week earlier than previously announced, now on September 12. According to a recent press release from the company:
The future will arrive sooner than expected for fans of LEVEL-5’s acclaimed Professor Layton video game series. Nintendo of America has announced a new launch date of Sept. 12 for Professor Layton and the Unwound Future™, a new hand-held adventure created exclusively for the top-selling Nintendo DS™ family of portable game systems. Previously scheduled for release on Sept. 20, the game will now be available a week earlier, treating newcomers and experienced players alike to a mesmerizing mix of mystery, time travel and puzzle-solving fun.
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future places the professor and his trusted apprentice at the center of a spellbinding adventure after they receive a strange letter sent from 10 years in the future. Players must wind their way through more than 165 mind-bending puzzles as they decipher clues and strive to unlock a time-twisting mystery that threatens to plunge London into chaos.

I think Unwound Future may be my first Layton game. The premise is interesting enough for me to warrant a purchase.

Love that caption!
I'm concerned about how far behind we are in the series, and how the 3DS will affect things. To clarify: Is this actually the third game in the original Japanese release order? We haven't missed any thus far, have we?

in a Nintendo power magazine article sonetime last summer (or somewhere around then) they had an interview with Akira Hino and he said that he was working on PL: Devil's Flute. I wonder if it's done, and if it'll come over here for the 3DS or not.
