Oh the trailer is already in here, no wonder my thread wasn't getting any hits. Well copied and pasted from my thread:

 

The first hour in the game. Might spoil for some but that puzzle music :) (~10:35)

 

 

Need some JAPVGC impressions stat

Nice music indeed. With my goldfish memory I can watch this and not be spoiled when the game releases here.

BTW... I like how every puzzle has a feedback on the upper screen (a la the newest layton game) and I said this in COMG thread, but have you noticed that when Layton and Luke (and caricatural NPCs) speak the scrolling effect is from the Layton series and when Phoenix and Maya (and "realistic" NPCs) the effect is from the Ace Attorney series?



Around the Network

Iwata just apologized for the constant sell-outs of Animal Crossing and reiterating the game can be bought online until production catch on demand.

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/egdj/info/movie.html

It uses a new chip, to contain more save data, so that's why they can't produce as much as needed.



Resume of previous post.
Man, nintendo screwed up

- Iwata apologies for New Leaf shortages
- The game saves more items and swapped villages, houses with a special type of ROM card with SLC-NAND to store such big save data
- NAND is flash memory, as used in SD cards, USB key drives, SSDs
- SLC-NAND is durable and has large area for volume
- MLC-NAND sacrifices durability for greater data density
- Supplies for SLC-NAND, controller chip were within estimates
- Sales greatly exceeded estimates
- Replenishing supplies will take several months, won’t be resolved soon
- Nintendo is adjusting production volume allocation between Animal Crossing and other SLC-NAND games, but not giving AC a production monopoly
- Iwata reminds consumers that the game can be downloaded on the eShop
- There are download cards at retail which may sell out, but there will be plentiful resupplies for year-end
- It’s possible to buy download codes online
- Limited-time downloadable presents and Seven-Eleven-exclusive presents will be redistributed at a later date



Noctis, you're sleeping on the job, add Famitsu software numbers

A flop is forming in the east:

[3DS] Professor Layton Vs. Ace Attorney - 20%

How in the world can that game flop?

Hope I don't eat too much crow with my FS/N thoughts. Still think it could manage close 100k lifetime, but it's looking like a 40-50k FW.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

First day for layton is never high


[NDS] Professor Layton and The Last Time Travel (Level 5) - 180,000 (31%)
[NDS] Professor Layton and the Flute of Malevolent Destiny (Level 5) - 140,000 (34%)

But also... never as low...



It's still Layton's fault.
