Better Layton than never

Professor Layton coming to iOS in Layton Brothers: Mystery Room

Nintendo's exclusivity with the Professor Layton series is coming to a close, meaning Japanese developer Level-5 is free to bring Layton Brothers: Mystery Room to Apple's iOS.

Details are scarce, but the developer's website reveals that the "crime-solving fantasy" sees you aid two special agents in their mission to solve unsolvable crimes, which are brought to them as a last resort. What these cases are, however, remains to be seen.

The Professor Layton series is one of the DS's best franchises, with previous hits Curious Village and Lost Future both earning Pocket Gamer Gold Awards at review.

We hope Level-5 can replicate this success with its first iOS outing. There's a trailer for you to check out below, but be warned: you probably won't understand any of it.
