Re: Soapbox: Spin-Offs Can Be A Way In Rather Than A Sell-Out

I was an avid Professor Layton fan (still am, actually), and I had never given the Ace Attorney games a single chance, untill the crossover happened. The crossover was awesome, and so are the Ace Attorney games themselves. I never would've tried them without this crossover!

I got really angry when I realised they were showing this as a new game, instead of as an added DLC to the existing one. The existing one was fun, but lacked some critical things (such as a fun main game). It first seemed they were finally going to add it when they showed this... only to show they were throwing the old one in the garbage and now expect me to spend another 60 on this one. No way, I'll buy mine second hand.

Very nice piece. Thank you for writing it.
I was a little bit too young when I first played this, so I didn't finish it and that haunts me to this day. I still have the 3DS HD remake which I - regretfully - didn't finish too.

If they re-release the HD version on Switch this year, I solemnly swear to finally complete it!

And if not, I'll have to grab my trusty 3DS.. Because this has to happen one day.

@Heavyarms55 Some people collect Pokémon cards, Yu-gi-oh or Magic the Gathering cards, but those need to be in pristine condition for them to be valuable too. (It costs like $20-$30 to even get them graded)

Now, imagine you had 10.000x as much money as the average person: everything can become a collectable..

Re: The Layton Series Makes Its Switch Debut With Layton’s Mystery Journey, Here's The Launch Trailer

@Bondi_Surfer I can imagine the trailer doesn't convince you. Perhaps I can. Layton games have a very compelling story, combined with absurd humor and dozens and dozens of challenging puzzles. If you don't like puzzle games, this isn't for you. If you like a challenging laid-back singleplayer game to accidentally spend 5-6 hours in a row on.. Go check them out.

I do have to say: the original Layton games have a more complicated main story arc, Katrielle's game has more of an 'episodic' feel to it's story. I prefer the first, some people prefer the latter.
