Welcome to the Professor Layton Fan Club! http://gamernode.com/upload/manager///News%20Images/Nintendo/layton1279116654.jpg Professor Layton is the series of hugely popular puzzle games released on the DS/3DS. There are books and a movie, but this fan club will focus on the games. ~ ~ LIST OF VIDEO GAME RELEASES: ~ ~ (Releases are all western dates. Released games are bolded) The Curious Village [DS; 2008] The Diabolical Box/Pandora's Box [DS; 2009] The Unwound Future/Lost Future [DS; 2010] The Spectre's Flute/Flute of Malevolent Destiny [DS; TBA] The Mask of Miracle [3DS; TBA] Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright [3DS; May not be released in English] Unnamed 6th Game [In development] ~~ RULES ~~ I'm not a big fan of rules, so I'll keep them brief: 1) Please hide all spoilers. Not everyone has played all of the games. 2) Images are welcome, but of course, nothing explicit. Explicit images can be linked, but not posted. 3) Going off topic is fine. This is a place to not only discuss Professor Layton, but for fans to also meet and such. 4) Not all topics have to be answered.

I love Professor Layton. n_n I'm so glad it's a successful series here in the West (apparently, though I'm the only person I really know IRL who plays it) because it means the other games will be localized. Which was the first game you played? I got into the series shortly after the first game was released so I started with that and have played them in order. :) Which game is your favourite? Favourite plot was the first one but I think the third one has had my favourite puzzles so far. |
Aww~<3, Cherrim... Anyway, onto the topic...
It's very successful in Australia as well. So far we've seen the first three, the Spectre's Flute will almost definitely be released Down Under. =) I also started off with the Curious Village, and the only thing I could complain about was how short it was. I WANTED MOAR, haha. I thought the plot of the second game wasn't nearly as good as the first. The third game was spectacular, and I'll always fondly remember Legal Luke. I just loved that car puzzle! X) |
Third game had such a strange plot but at least it wasn't... AS bad (believability-wise) as the second game's. I think. xD;
|
Definitely. The second game was as tenuous as tenuousness itself. Still, burlesque house FTW.
|
Haha, I'd forgotten about that! I though it was kind of a risque thing to put in a children's game. :P Not that they'd understand, I suppose. Or that the games are really played by any kids I know.
|
Please count me in! XD I'm a noob to the game and I've just played the beginning of the Curious Village... :cer_blush: But I really like the game and movie :P

Professor Layton seems to appeal to older kids. Well, kids older than I thought. I don't know of a fan under 13. Quote:

"Pikachewy's sig."
SUBTITLES: Epic Win. Keeping to mah promise, plus Rayton, Ruke and the puzzles are long-lasting fun so please count me in or 'I'll smash you right out of the sky!'. Which was the first game you played? Curious Village. I still remember the first viewing of the beautifully animated movies. Which game is your favourite? Unwound future. The plot went here and there near the end, but I loved almost everything else about it. |
Ohh I saw the movie. :D I loved it and if they release an English version on DVD, I'll definitely buy it.
|
Welcome, Eddy~♥!
Yes, I'll definitely watch/buy the English version. Layton's voice is MUCH better in English. New topic: Favourite puzzle and/or puzzle type(s)? |
My favourite type of puzzle is one of those trick questions. Such as "what is the last letter of the Alphabet?" Lol, ;)
|
Quote:
|
I always liked the pancakes, the jugs, the division ones. I now like the slider puzzles as well.
"Thanks to the Professor Layton series, now I can solve that toucan slider puzzle on the Windows Vista Widget in two minutes. TAKE THAT, TOUCAN! With Professor Layton, you can beat that toucan!" |
LOL, nice work, Eddy. ♥ I still can't do slider puzzles well...
|
Hmm. I think my favourite puzzle types are the math ones. 8D; Otherwise, I actually kind of like the slider ones so long as I don't have to do it in a certain number of turns.
I haaaated the slider puzzles the first time I had to do them but Layton got me into them. xD I have a game on my phone that's entirely sliding puzzles and it's probably my favourite thing to do when I'm sitting on the bus or in a waiting room. |
I've got to join this. xDD;;
Which was the first game you played? Curious Village, naturally. Which game is your favourite? So faaar... the Lost Future. It was the story that appealed most to me. xD; What is your favourite puzzle and/or puzzle type(s)? ...:B Probably the banana slip mazes. |

Slider puzzles...
...Love-hate relationship... That reminds me that I still need to finish all the slider puzzles in the third game... That gate one, the second time around, hoo boy. Which was the first game you played? I watched Curious Village being played and I helped in it, so I can't really consider that for credit. So...Diabolical Box. Which game is your favourite? Unwound Future. I shed man tears for that. What is your favourite puzzle and/or puzzle type(s)? The ice slipping one was really enjoyable (In Diabolical Box, the banana peel slipping over in Unwound Future is pretty much the same), and my favorite puzzle types are usually the trick question ones. v Spoiler about content of Diabolical Box Reopened v Spoiler:
|
Quote:
The ice slipping ones make the Pokemon Ice Cave a leisurely slide. They're fun too. I still remember the puzzle in the first game where you had to stake the monster's eye... On a seperate note, I always jump when I hear the "BOOOOWww..." noise when you get the answer incorrect. |
Do any of you use the blogspot walkthrough when playing Professor Layton?
...This thread seems a bit inactive... -_- |
...Yes. I did use it a few times. xD;
Not many though! Eheh. ^^; |
Which was the first game you played? My first game was Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. Which game is your favourite? So far, Unwound Future. The storyline may be a little confusing, but I love it. But when VS Ace Attorney comes out that will be my game. I even made a fanfic to celebrate my fav video characters coming together xD . What is your favourite puzzle and/or puzzle type(s)? My favourite puzzles are usually the ones that are trick questions and the like. something like this; Spoiler:
|
One problem though... I don't think that PL vs AA will come out in english... :<
Type in "will professor layton vs ace attorney come out in english" on google and click the 2nd option (I haven't made 15 posts yet so no hyperlinks -_-) TAT I REALLY don't want to believe this... I dunno if it's true or not... EDIT: "Capcom has confirmed that its exciting Pheonix Wright and Professor Layton crossover title for the Nintendo 3DS is currently exclusively a Japanese release. The game is a collaborative effort between Capcom and Level-5 and has been written by Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi. The publisher has encouraged international gamers to share their excitement and support for the game in the comments section of the Capcom-Unity blog. With enough comments the game may receive an international release, it says." |
I'm under 13! and Im a fan!
Which was the first game you played? The 1st game, It was awesome Which game is your favourite? They're all good, But if I had to choose, The 3rd game. What is your favourite puzzle and/or puzzle type(s)? I like all the puzzles! |
I am too :)
Welcome! XD But you'll have to wait untill Nutella comes back to add your name to the list. EDIT: We have hit the second page!!! Horray~ |
Yay! I hope this will be popular.
|
Oh, we won't let this thread die. I mean, we already have two pages-- this is a legendary thread in the making!
As for PL vs. AA, I don't mind if it's in Japanese as long as I can get my hands on it and play it on my DS. I'm looking forward to it. Though I'm not sure whether it will be as good as the trailers made it look... Anyway welcome Impo and Weespotty! |
I can't wait to see the next 3 games...
|
I want to join.
Which was the first game you played? First one. Pure awesomeness. Which game is your favourite? Third one without a doubt. The plot was very good and the graphics are awesome. What is your favourite puzzle and/or puzzle type(s)? I like all kinds of puzzles. |

Also, welcome to new members! I may be tugging on strings, but here's another topic that could keep us posting a couple of more times: Favourite character? |
Favourite character?
Because I'm unsure if this is spoiler or not, I'll put it in a tag. Spoiler:
|
I don't really have a favorite character in particular, but I always appreciated Layton the most. With the ending on Unwound Future, man, my respect our good ol' archeologist.
How about our mysterious friend, Stachenscarfen? :D http://images.wikia.com/layton/images/e/ef/Stachenscarfen.png EDIT: Yeah, I think the Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney game will have low chances of reaching international shores. They already made Ace Attorney Investigations 2 Japan only. It's probably due to the lackluster sales that Capcom got for the Phoenix Wright series in general (Its sales only got a cult fanbase rather than a big hotcake seller like Okamiden or something). Sources: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104551-Professor-Layton-Phoenix-Wright-Crossover-for-Japan-Only-Says-Capcom http://palgn.com.au/nintendo-ds/18701/ace-attorney-investigations-2-not-getting-localised/ |
Luke~ XD He's so cute in the movie!
Emmy has very good fighting skills. Impressive. =D |
I definitely love Luke and "Legal Luke". Of course, Mr. Layton is a close second. Don Paolo is pretty funny; he cracks me up. I always try to call him Don Paula, LOL.

Having to play the game in Japanese will probably cause little/no understanding of the storyline... ಥ﹏ಥ Weird sad face.
New topics: How did you get to know about Professor Layton? Which character do you think resembles you? |

O.o Lucky... I don't know ANY Japanese at all... TAT
Look what I found! :) http://can.blog.shinobi.jp/Category/8/1/ http://wredwrat.deviantart.com/gallery/12709539 |
I'm learning Japanese at the moment, so by the time the game comes out, I might be okay to play it. xD;
Who knows. I still suck at it. xDD;; How did you get to know about Professor Layton? I just played my cousin's copy of it once. But since there was limited time, I didn't take the game seriously and found it boring. Some time after, I tried getting it myself and playing it. It was magnificent. xD; Which character do you think resembles you? Uhh.This is a really hard question. xDD;; Um. Uhhh. ...Legal Luke, maybe? xD; That fanart is adorable, btw. xD; |

Oh, Legal Luke is a pretty boy. I'm not a pretty boy. xDD;;
I think it's more personality wise, really. And yeah, I've been learning Japanese for a couple years already, but it's government provided stuff, so I'm learning it pretty slowly, but I'm glad I'm able to learn it nonetheless. xD; I've never been on Pixiv myself, I might give it a go sometime in the future. |
Quote:
Am I the only person that cracked up when Don Paolo declared that he would "smash Layton right out of the sky?" |
Honestly, I didn't laugh at that point. xD;
Professor Layton/Twilight? That sounds wacky. :V |
It does indeed, but I usually like things that pay out Twilight. Obviously the Professor would drop everything for Bella. Duh.
|
In that fanfic... Is... the Professor a Shiny unicorn Vampire? : O
|
I don't think so. I can't remember. But I'm confident that Edward is the only that shines. ♥
|
Mmm, read the first page of Professor Layton and the Twilight Enigma. Second page contains spoilers of the Diabolical box so I'm not reading it. :P Not bad!
EDIT: New topic to discuss! :) Would you consider the Professor Layton series as your favourite game? If not, what would you rate it in your top 10 favourite games? |
It's not, right? It's a serious-ish parody. No ******** random humour. You either hit or miss with cracky stuff. Anywho, thanks for the great topic suggestions as usual.

Have any of you watched the Professor Layton Western show?
If you haven't, you should watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzjwhoSAxnU&feature=player_embedded It's a really good video! :D |
Would you consider the Professor Layton series as your favourite game? If not, what would you rate it in your top 10 favourite games?
To be honest, no. It would be floating around my top 20, but not top 10. I do really like it, though. : ) I just watched that video. xD; That's awesome. Poor Legal Luke. xDD; |
omigod Professor Layton is the best. If it's allright I'd like to join. ^.^
That video is the most amazing thing on the internet *coughbesidesmaybethenewwinniethepoohtrailercough* I'm not sure how I got into Professor Layton...I think at first I thought it was hard but then I realized it was all puzzles :D And so my twelve-year-old self went and bought the second game in the series -.- |
Welcome! :) Although you didn't need to ask "May I please join"; there's new rules about posting in other clubs, please take a moment to read them: they can be found here. ;)
Make sure you don't forget about this club, otherwise we'd be lonely. ;_; That video's good, isn't it? :D Also, we've hit the 3rd page!!! XD Horray!! :cer_boogie: |

On a side note, there is a fan club crazier than ours! I respect them: http://professorlayton.livejournal.com/104881.html |
XDD;; But they haven't reached the 3rd page yet!! :P
I have PL pics! :) ... May contain mild spoilers? Spoiler:

You always tend to find awesome pictures, don't you, Chewy? xDD;;
I love them all. That puzzle. xD; That puzzle is awesome. WHY IS LUKE NOMMING ON MAYA'S BURGER. D: |

But, it's Maya's burger! D:
Luke can just ask Layton to order him a 5 course meal. /looks at luke eating on the molentary express. It is a cool nickname! xDD;; I need to give you one too. :V EDIT: I just remembered this box-art I made a while ago for the fourth game. Here it is. xD; |
Thanks guys! ^ ^ Most of the time when I go on the internet, I search up random pics and come across really good ones. I'll post more as I eventually find more...
@~Ryu, your box cover is awesome! :D Chaotic flute? :o I'm learning flute right now... EDIT: More Layton pics!!!! May contain mild spoilers. ;) Spoiler:
^^''' Sorry, the comic is a bit small... I can't find a larger version of it. Save it onto your PC and enlarge it. |
Those are the most amazing pictures I have ever seen in my life ever. ^.^ I love Luke...
|
It's good that you like it. :cer_wink:
I'm also very glad that you came back and checked on this thread! XD |
Haha, yeah. I was thinking about what the localization name would be, since it's usually changed it that matter.
The Devil's Box = The Diabolical Box The Last Time Travel = The Unwound Future So yeah. xD; The Majin's Flute = The Chaotic Flute Them pictures of yours, Chewy. They are awesome. |D I love that Ace Attorney and Layton art style switch you posted up there. xDD;; |
XD Thank you so much! You're flattering me with all those compliments! :cer_blush:
All right MORE PICS! =D Nutella(Nutsy?) and King likes Luke & Legal Luke so there will be some here. Contains mild spoilers. :D I've seriously spoiled myself with all these pictures; I haven't even finished the 1st game yet. :V Spoiler:
|
Nutsy! :D
That sounds awesome. "You know what they say! A little bit of Flattery can open big doors!" -Trucy, Ace Attorney 4. : ) /stares at descole. ...That's perfect. :V |
YAY LEGAL LUKE AND LUKE!!! I forgot how smexy Legal Luke was.... ._.
:3 EVen though I bought the second game first, I realized that you needed the first one to know who...er...somebody was. ;.; SO I've beaten all three of them in order ^_^ |
That's good. I've spoiled my self waaaay too much All right that's enough complains from me. I'll just have to control my curiosity, I guess... -.-
Who wants Professor Layton game music? :P OMG! XD This thread is actually getting active! :cer_boogie: Also, I don't understand Japanese, just to tell you, some of the pics I found are Jap because I found them on Pixiv. =D |
Layton Game Music? Sure, why not? xD;
It's alright, Chewy. I spoiled Unwound Future, before I played it. I spoiled all of it. :V I still enjoyed the game, and beat it a couple times, so it's all good. xDD;; Hooray for activity! |
XD Right....
But first, pictures. ;) Spoiler:
|
LOL, random, but after that picture, I want to propose the theory that blush makes everything look cute. Not my idea, though- YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
|
Spoiler:
That. That is awesome. xDD;; |

I accidentally left out some pics from my previous post... So here they are! XD Enjoy! :) Spoiler:
|
The piiiiictures. They're EVERYWHERE. :D
/drowns in pictures while screaming in joy. WOO. I should actually do something here. :V |
=O Am I posting too much pictures here?
Here's a quick one: Spoiler:
:D |
I've got a flash video, that I made and probably mentioned a while ago here. It's woopy. :V
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/569597 Aaaanyway. ...Yeah. xDD;; |
XDD;; It's so random!
... Can't stop myself... http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs51/f/2009/276/4/9/Layton_vs__Edgey_by_Berendsnors_Fanart.jpg YAY!! 4th page!! :cer_boogie: |
They cannot stand Godot's coffee? :O
That's surprising. xD; If we get up to 10 pages, I'll do something nice. /trying to think of something nice. :V |
Yay! I'll be looking forward to that~ :P I'll post more pics to take up space
|
This piece! It's so nice! |D God I love Lost Future so much. Such a good game. -w- |
Simply BEAUTIFUL. <3333
Ryu, you have a good sense of music. XD Thanks for uploading it! |
Unwound Future was intense ^_^
ROFL 'I'M LOOKING FOR HINT COINS' I don't think you post too many pics xD I love the music for these games <3 |
I most definitely agree. :cer_wink:
What do you think is the best sounding music of all the games? Sorry, I can't answer because I'm jest a beginner.... XD; Don't worry there'll be more pics. ;) |
Well, of season 1(first three games), I'd have to go with the theme of the Last Time Travel. The composition for this song is absolutely splendid! |D
The season 2 games have some pretty nice sounding tracks, but I've hardly heard any of them, so yeah. /shrugs I'll have to wait until they come out in english, or until I'm good enough at Japanese. Either way. xD; |
Thanks! =D It does sound really nice...
Some screenshots from the Eternal Diva! (Luke only) XD Spoiler:
|
Oh, Luke. xDD;;
Young Luke is especially awesome. I would buy the Eternal Diva DVD, but I don't like in the UK. :V I don't order online much either, so yeah. |
I watched that movie online somewhere....there's this one guy in it, and his hair is blue, and it sticks out in a poof the whole time and it was really annoying Dx *coughrandomcough*
But it was really good ^_^ |
Yes the movie is quite good. More suitable for children over the age of ten, as the storyline is just a bit confusing. ;)
For people who want to watch the Eternal Diva, here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGKW2d0pf90 (english) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEFm0Tw36R8&list=PL8F9E37211DA19ED3 (Japanese with english subtitles) EDIT: Another batch of pics! =D enjoy! Spoiler:
|
Those are probably the best ones yet :DDDDDD
And yeah, I had to go back and watch a couple of things in the movie because it was a little confusing. x___x |
Quote:
Picture crazy!!! :DDDD Spoiler:
Oh, and I made the font in the spoiler bigger so they're easier to read. ;) |
Those are all awesome. xD; My favourite is by far the top hat in the front row one omggg. I picked up on the hypocrisy of sitting like front row and not even shutting up for the performance but totally missed the hat.
|
Time for a new topic!
So, E3 is coming up, which Layton game are you looking forward to being announced? |
Horray for activity! xD;
Well, I hope they announce that either Mask of Miracle or PL vs AA will come out in English. Better if both will come out in English. Have I answered this question correctly? :o |
Yep. xD;
You answered it fine. I don't have any doubts about Miracle Mask coming out in english, I'm just a little worried about Majin's Flute. It seems a bit... left out. :( |
Don't worry. xD;
The Majin's Flute will come out in September. :) It will make the perfect birthday present for me |
September feels like it's going to be a long time from now. xD;
Anyway, I hope that the September release date isn't just a rumour. I would be pretty disappointed if it was. Then again, if it wasn't, and E3 announced it to come out even earlier than September, that'd be even better. xDD;; I need to play Diabolical Box again. Since it's the middle cihld of Season 1, I didn't really give it as much attention as it deserved. .-.; Anton is still a pretty cool character, though. :U |
Gosh, I need that Majin's flute game already. I don't want to wait until September :(
|
I'm pretty interested in the mini RPG that's supposedly including in it. "Professor Layton and London Life". xDD;;
Reminds me alot of Mother 3, which is a game that I loved. |
Hopefully this proves the release date is not a rumour:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100927152842AAXiKdM I really hope so but yahoo answers... Anyone can answer. :\ |
Ahh, I see. "Around". It was just an estimate. xDD;;
Well, I'd be surprised if they didn't release it in english, especially since Professor Layton sells pretty well. |
Bump. I'm probably not allowed to do this, but I'm doing it anyway.
Only for one reason. This. We're getting Professor Layton 4. It's going to be called "Professor Layton and the Last Specter". That sounds really cool, in my opinion. xDD;; |
