Surprise, Japanese gamers!

Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask launched almost 2 years ago in Japan, and will finally be making its way to the 3DS eShop over there, which comes with a plus.

We literally mean 'plus', as the game will be released on the eShop as Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask+ to distinguish between it and the original version. The upgraded edition will include extras such as new events, brand new puzzles and animation. Tutorial and hints have been added to Ruin mode, and all daily downloadable puzzles will be unlocked upon purchase.
