A while back, Capcom and Level 5 Entertainment announced a crossover involving Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright. Initially, it was declared as a Japan only release. Because Capcom were stupid idiots who were afraid because the Ace Attorney games had not done as well in the US as they would have hoped, and they thought there wouldn't be a market. After someone with a brain sat down at the Capcom website, however, they decided to actually ask the fans, who responded so overwhelmingly positively that they have decided that they will go right ahead with the translation without even bothering to see how it goes in Japan first.

So, since we can finally rest easy and know that we are going to get it, I'm going to share the trailer. Professor Layton versus Ace Attorney. My gosh, is this thing not gorgeous? I mean, the visuals and music are breathtaking, the idea is brilliant, and the execution seems flawless. Best of all, it's a serious attempt at a crossover with solid plot and character focus. I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to this game. It is going to be brilliant.
