It's embarrassing, how much I want these. They would look splendid standing next to Spider Jerusalem and (Gaiman's) Death on top of my computer.

I earned my Kotaku star with a Professor Layton joke. Only two days after my first disemvowelment, no less.

*sniffles* Oh, memories.

Ah man, you show these off, but you never mentioned that Prototype Revoltech Layton I sent you guys?

[www.bifuteki.com]

I mean a single pose figure like this... meh... But with the revoltech one I will be able to do Layton photo comics of any pose and subject/joke/etc...

Oh wait, bobble heads? That makes them much cooler, but I'd still rather get the revoltech other this....

.... Maybe I should get both....

That's OK with me. I always thought of Layton as more of a portable game per se rather than a console type one.

I doubt I'd enjoy the puzzle games on TV sitting down as much as on the go. While the animated FMVs may be suitable on the Wii, I feel they play fine well enough on the DS already, and the puzzle games would feel more of a chore on the TV than on the DS screen. Plus, don't forget the tactability of the stylus compared to the remote from afar.

Ghibli's movies have always been a touch precious for my tastes but they tell brilliant stories. I hope the gameplay holds up to the animation.

@Sarcasmancer: Even if it doesn't, the brilliant presentation will still make this game one hell of a ride.
Isn't that kinda the catch of the Ghibli movies, anyway? Can't say I've really understood most of them, in fact, no other movie ever left me as confused as Howl's Moving Castle, but they're still awesome to watch and all.

Edit: Oh well, maybe I should've taken notice of you saying you're actually more attracted to the stories than the animation. Way to look like an idiot.

@vaterunser:
Howl's Moving Castle makes just a shred more sense if you read the Diana Wynne Jones book it's based on. At least in the sense that you can see what was lost and warped in translation.

Also: I look like an idiot on a regular basis. We can start a club!

I would really want to have a Dark Cloud 3 so long as it has all the detail as the second.
The second had so much to do. It was great.

However, i don't care for the dungeon system. I hated going into the dungeons and seeing more and more floors to go through. I also hated seeing that I needed a certain item to advance on some floors.
I also hated how you got thirsty and how your weapons broke.

Those are the only things keeping me from playing the game. I really liked exploring the towns and doing the side quests. The second one is an amazing game and I hope you will make a third. Just PLEASE no thirst and weapons breaking.

Never played the second one, but the first game was overrated as hell. It tried to be a Legend of Zelda meets Actraiser game, and it failed on both fronts.

More people? Holy Shit we've been asking for this forever! Must I expose myself and write "Dark Cloud" on my privates? Half mercy, see the light before it's too late and you have to deal with the consequences of seeing me in my Scribblenauts boxers.

I only managed to play Dark Cloud 1 and it was amazing, I loved it. I haven't seen Dark Chronicle anywhere, and as much as I would like to play that first, I still want to see a Dark Cloud 3.

Make it happen, Level 5!

Dark Cloud 3 was released on the PS2, it's called Rogue Galaxy.

So yeah, I'm all for a Dark Cloud 4 on the PS3 (or even PS360, if that can help it happen).

*ahem*

Dear Level-5,
I really loved the Professor Layton series, simply one of the most charming series of games I have played for a long time.

I also played and enjoyed Dark Cloud 2, or as I think it was called here in the UK, Dark Chronicle? I still have my copy around somewhere, so I may have to refresh myself.

I think it would be really great to be able to play a sequel to this game. Would you please takes steps to allow this to happen?

Thank you for your time,
-Jonathan Luke Barrett
