Have you solved the mystery of the golden apple? Find out where the intrepid Layton is going from here in this interview with Level 5's president Akihiro Hino.
GameSpot: What spawned the ideas that birthed Professor Layton's story, setting, and gameplay? What was your inspiration for the title?
Akihiro Hino: The whole Layton series was born from a plan we had to turn Professor Akira Tago's series of best-selling books, Head Gymnastics, into a game. The original books were collections of puzzles and brainteasers that were popular with a wide range of readers, from the very young to the very old.
Phil writes, "Today is National Puzzle Day, and it's a day for celebration of all things that twist, melt, bust, or otherwise perplex your brain puzzle-wise. It seems like a fantastic day to bring back an old favorite article series that hasn't seen much action recently. It's "How Was I Supposed to Know THAT!?", where we take a look at those frustratingly obtuse parts of games, whether for progression purposes or just plain ol' devious puzzles that one would have to be an absolute genius of a specialized field to solve. These following five games each have a particularly perplexing part or puzzle in them that possess some kind of masterful amount of outside information or knowledge to get past or solve them."
Never been a fan of the kind of game design where you need a guide to be able to do it, some might say it's quirky but I think it's dumb.
That's why The Witness is so good, the puzzles are often confusing and very difficult but there's always a logical solution if you think about it enough.
It's actually easier for FF IX now, contrary to what the article says. The speed increase makes the game plays at x3 the speed, but it doesn't actually make the timer go faster, so it makes getting there in 12 hours a lot easier.
sure sure, but it was neeear impossible to actually get the EC2 in-time on the ps1. especially if you had the European version.
Here at God is a Geek, we've rounded up 6 DS and 3DS games that we want to see on Switch.
If Nintendo rolled out VC two years ago like they should have, there would probably be DS and 3DS games on the Switch by now. But yeah, I think DS and 3DS are something they should do.
Level-5 is known for many beloved games like Fantasy Life, the Professor Layton series and the newest addition The Snack World. Level-5 latest game has only been released in Japan, but according to the website that handles the localization of the game, tells us it will finally come to the west.
