Maybe I'm just missing something but is it like a franchise or a series or something? It just doesn't click how a seemingly normal game can be so popular before it's released. Is there something special about it.
Though I do like all the seemingly "OBJECTION" poses for him.

I'm assuming you're from Europe anyway here's a summary of Professor Layton and his releases.
Japan is on it's way to getting the third and supposedly last title in the Professor Layton Trilogy.
The USA got the first title several months ago and we're salivating for news on the second.
Europe is almost ready for the first title to be released on it's shore.
Unlike most puzzle games, Professor Layton actually has a central plot and characters that are strong and unique respectively. It really is an awesome game.

Shame because I miss my Sunday evening new puzzle.
EDIT: I've had a look on other sites and it appears each weekly puzzle was already on the cartridge when it was bought and a weekly key issued by Wifi. There was only room for 27 puzzles and the 27th was glitched. So no more new puzzles
And I don't know about the picarats thing either unfortunately.
Herr Blondie - as Wooster says it has a very good story and engaging characters and requires some thinking, I' strongly recommend it and I wasn't expecting much when I bought it. Some of the cutscenes are hilarious too.
Sig made by the talented Trabztress, thank you!

Mystery and puzzles and beautiful cutscenes with dialogue on DS?
Sounds like my kinda game, if only Hotel Dusk had a little more puzzles or even voice acting but it was fine as it was.

Right now I'm at the point where you need to solve 75 puzzles to enter the door, so I'm doing my rounds at Granny Picard's or whatever her name is.

Anyway, completed the game just a little bit earlier, and I enjoyed the story, but I felt the story itself was a little short. I'm trying to get enough of those
I also want to know if more light will be shed on Don Paolo in the later games. I keep thinking up ways of how he's connected to Layton.
And is it just me, or is it easy to picture Layton in an empty University classroom with the Dean yelling in the corridors "LAYTONNNNNN!!!"?

James Bond?
Sherlock Holmes?
Effectively Professor Layton is the new Sherlock holmes except...well I've not played the game yet so I'm not sure if he's as awesome or less awesome than Holmes himself.
Basil is still my favourite British detective.

care to share a list of recent (I think 2000 and up will do) British detective like role-models? (bonus points if they give out lessons on how to be a proper gentleman) XD!!

I'm not quite sure if that's what was meant, though. Are we looking for video game heroes, or protagonists who got really big worldwide?

I guess. There aren't many big British game companies anymore either - we still got Rockstar, Rare, and Eidos, but they you can't see that from their games, either. The most "British" game I remember is Worms anyway.

Actually, it was "When was the last time there was a proper British hero?", and, as far as I've seen in this thread, it was over 50 years ago. Nobody's given a more recent example since James Bond. Unless you count that Epic Fail Guy from V for Vendetta, but that wasn't mentioned in this thread until just now.

So, Layton was great, so much so that I cleared it 100% already and stumbled across the extra content that explicitly states there will be a sequel. (I know the third in the series is due out soon in Japan.) Any news yet on the English versions of the Layton sequels or is the feature only in there as a placeholder? :/

Addikt told me once about a rumor of it coming out in early December, but she hasn't found anything else corroborating that and there's been no other news.
I'd say

Oh, FYI:
Don't worry about the EU sales - Layton's been out less than a week and is already in the Top Ten All-Formats Chart
The EU's definitely seeing the sequels even if the US doesn't. :D

I played that game and still LOVED it.
I finished it in 5 days (damn school >.<) and now I'm doing those "Layton's puzzles" or how they're called. 1 per day xD
Now I want the second. NOW. -.-

How many picarats do you need to unlock the movie theatre? I've completed it but I haven't unlocked it

But seriously, Professor Layton was a wonderful game. Words can't describe how awesome it was.
Now I definitely ship Legal!Luke/Flora(Time paradox, anyone?). Luke seems a bit too young, Layton is...well, you know what I mean.
When will they get the effing game(s) to the US/other countries?! D:
Oh, and I bring a comic strip that involves Layton swordfighting. :D
Actually, screw all that. I bring tons of awesome pictures.
http://cessa.deviantart.com/art/Layton-Kyoju-to-Akuma-no-Hako-104190506 Sort of dramatic-ish cool.

http://kapkyle.deviantart.com/art/Professor-Prosecutor-Laydot-85608742 I can't decide if this is Godot or Layton...
http://ariga-ten.deviantart.com/art/run-luke-run-90805481 He's really crazy about the hat...
http://chikuto.deviantart.com/art/PL-Creepy-Streets-103970032 This picture is just breathtakingly beautiful. Heck, if it was anywhere other than DeviantArt, I would've thought that this picture was actually official art.
http://ariga-ten.deviantart.com/art/OH-NO-YOU-DI-INT-91228052 This one killed me. Period.
All pictures are from DeviantArt, as you can probably guess.
I tried to limit them, I really tried. XD
