Level 5 announces new adventure title for DS!!

[VictimOfScience]

Level-5 today announced their first self-published game, an adventure game for the Nintendo DS called Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village. Combining a fantasy setting with engaging puzzles, the game stars Professor Layton, an English gentleman, and Luke, a schoolboy. The game is being produced by Level-5's own Akihiro Hino, but will be supervised by Akira Tago, author of popular brain teasing books in Japan.

Level-5, who made it big under Sony's publishing arm with Dark Cloud, and later with Dragon Quest VIII for Square Enix, seems pretty serious about the puzzle aspects of the game, though further details are still a bit scarce. We'll have more on this one soon, but for now, what we do know is that the game is set for release in Japan on February 15th next year for 4,800 yen.

Man, this is some of the best news I have heard in a while. And after the news of Operation: Dual Motives from Anaconda this is just icing on the cake. Level 5 can do no wrong in my book, as they have proven with DQ8, Dark Cloud (Chronicle), and Rogue Galaxy (White Knight Story doesn't look too bad either ). I am very excited at the idea of this. You?
