Today in Tokyo, Level-5 revealed a Professor Layton and Ace Attorney crossover Nintendo 3DS game currently titled "Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney". There are not much details about the game at the moment.

Your thoughts?
Mine: Awesome.

EDIT: More information was recently revealed

Ace Attorney creator Takumi Shuu will be working on the title, and the game's theme will be puzzles that are full of contradictions. Sounds perfect for a legal puzzle mash-up.
The game is set in Labyrinth City. The background is medieval, and the city is populated with witches. The villain is named the "story teller" and whatever he writes with his pen becomes reality.
The in-game trial is called "The Trial of the Witch", since Phoenix Wright's client is accused of being a witch.

If so then it gets my interest.

My head hurts thinking about it. But when you have a crossover like this, nothing can go wrong. This is going to be just awesome.

Hmm. An interesting crossover. I'm not a huge follower of either series, but I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Sounds cool.

Capcom sure is having a lot of crossovers in games lately, and I can definitely say I'm excited about this amazing mix of these two great adventure games. Now to save up for a 3DS.

Sad thing is, I just bought my DSi last year :<

oh my gaaaaaawd!

this has the potential to not only be amazing and hilarious, but also to have the tropes of each series iron out a lot of the flaws of the other series.... this could easily be one of the greatest puzzle-adventure games ever

Thoughts:

1. Awesome!

2. My mom will love this! And me. But still, my mom likes these types of games, including both series. She also really really liked King's Quest way back when. This resulted me in learning how easy it is to die at a very young age.

Might as well continue saving for a 3DS, even though I'll probably have the 3D slider at "off" for this game. I'm really excited. Two of my favorite series combined together? Yes, please. Phoenix Wright returning doesn't hurt.

I've only beaten the first Layton (and loved it), but this still sounds awesome.

Also, I imagine having to solve a puzzle Layton style while in the courtroom to prove a contradiction will happen.

That was awesome even though I couldn't understand a word. Though, I imagine if I play the game with seeing some of the cutscenes (As I assume I just saw), I'll figure out what happens before I'm supposed to.

Played all the Professor Layton (Unwound Future was a nice refresher) and Phoenix Wright games. Saw the trailer a couple days ago and I came everywhere.

EVERYWHERE.

apollo justice isn't phoenix wright

Why do people think there's going to be a PW4? Trials & Tribulations ended it very definitively. I don't mind having crossover or other side-stories with Wright in it, but I'd much rather they continue with the obvoius cliffhangers in Apollo Justice.
LuigiHann
I don't think this game will make a difference in terms of future Ace Attorney releases; Capcom is working on Edgeworth 2 now, and this crossover is being made by Level 5.

I do think that if they make a non-spinoff game in the main Ace Attorney series, it will probably be a sequel to Apollo Justice, but it will presumably feature Phoenix himself in a prominent role again. I do like that we have the Edgeworth games filling in a bit of the gap between PW3 and AJ, letting us know what was going on with some of the other characters without really interfering with Phoenix's arc. I sort of hope that the next Edgeworth game takes place a bit later and helps to tie the universe together a bit more as well.

Edit: another thought-provoking update:

You do heard that there's no plans of having a western release (yet)? Bummer, really, but simply spam the internet with "DO WANT INGRISH PRZZZZZZ" comments and that probably will send a message across.
K2J
They don't have one confirmed yet, but I think it's almost a given that this will make it to English-speaking audiences, just like the rest of both series have.
Mashley
Layton is very popular over here, and Whright has plenty of fans too, so I'd be surprised not to see a western release.

Agreed. Both franchises have pretty much settled into the Western audience.

this is the reason why I have high hope for the English release

If not, I bet you there will be a fan-translation that will go up somewhere.

and/or English patches.

Does anyone still have the link where Layton's theme song was made into PW style and vice versa?
