After releasing on Switch in Japan last year, it seems a western launch of Layton’s Mystery Journey: Katrielle And The Millionaires’ Conspiracy DX isn't too far off.
Twitter user @lite_agent noticed that the Australian Board of Classification has given it an age rating, following a similar occurrence in Germany.
It's been a long time coming - Japanese Switch owners have been able to enjoy this Deluxe Edition of the Level-5's 3DS original since August last year, and it even has an accompanying anime. Ah, to live in Japan.
Hopefully, these ratings mean we'll be able to dive into some detective puzzling ourselves before too long. It's been a while and we're big fans of the Layton series.
Are you a Layton aficionado? Eager to try this one out on your Switch? Share your thoughts in the usual place.

Nice! Been meaning to play this! To be honest though, I really want a new Layton game where we play as the Professor...
This game is, in my opinion, not as good as other Layton Games. It's much easier and less interesting, I got it on 3DS but did not even finish it.
Lovely! Having a Layton game lying around is an excelent idea for any handheld console.
Haven’t played this series so this may be my chance!
Pretty sure I own all the Layton Mysteries for DS and 3DS but only played a couple hours of the first one.
and another remake
Great news, hopefully a European version is out soon!
I'm a fan of Layton! This one doesn't seem as appealing with a different character but I'm sure the gameplay is similar.
Layton in Smash!!!
I'd be willing to try this one even though I still need to get to the prequel trilogy. I'm developing a puzzle itch that will need scratching sooner or later.
I've never played one game in the series, but I've always wanted to. Give me a collection with past games, and I'll bite just like I did with Ace Attorney...
@dkxcalibur Layton in smash what a great idea!!!
Huh, I was just thinking about this game this morning. I love Professor Layton but haven't played this one so good to see it's getting a Switch port.
Played through it on the 3ds.
It's not as good as the other games and suffers from having 11 stories instead of a big story. They pull them together at the end, when the game finally hits its stride.
The puzzles are too simple and the mobile phone roots of the title hurt it.
Also, the main characters are nowhere near as interesting as the Professor!
Overall, good to have if you love the series, but by far the weakest Layton game.
I refused to buy the 3DS version as it easily appeared to be byfar the worst entry in the series to date, compounded by a lack of stereoscopic 3D, AND the addition of paid DLC to the worst game in the series (also making it the most expensive overall) was insulting. I hoped for a complete version on Switch, so I'm especially glad that I have waited. I've completed all of the DS games, but I have barely scratched the surface of the 3DS ones (as good as they are).
Can't wait for a Physical release.
There, you happy 3DS haters?
I hope this sells so well they repack the other games in a Layton collection 😁
@PsylockeRules That is something I can get behind!
So there's a anime? I have to look that up soon!
