Oh well, there's still the upcoming movie.

Layton on the 360 w/ Natal support.
Solving puzzles by contorting your body into numbers.
First person co-op mode with Master Chief.
Rated M for Mature: Crude language, graphic violence, and strong sexual themes.

This just in: XBox 360 game "Professor Layton and the Village of People" bombs after it's revealed that the answer to every puzzle involves using your body to form the letters Y, M, C, and A.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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).

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

It always makes me laugh when devs asks this because people will say make more and they still won't.

Project Manager 1: "I wonder if there's a demand for this game..."
The interwebs: "Yes, yes, there is! We've been asking for years!"
Project Manager 2: "I don't know... it's hard to tell... if only there was a way to find out... Some place where people could gather and talk and ask questions. Like the Ancient Greeks, you know? In Athens."
PM1: "Oh, you mean like a forum? Yeah, if only we had one of those..."
The interwebs: "HEY! Over here, geniuses! We said we want your bloody game!"
PM1: "Have we received any requests?"
PM2: "Nah, I checked the mail bag earlier, nothing. Just a couple of dead hedgehogs."
The interwebs: "What. The. Hell. Are you kidding? Are we on candid camera? The internet, people: read it!"
PM1: "Yeah, no, forget it then."
PM2: "I have an interview with Kotaku later, what if they ask?"
PM1: "Kota-what?"
PM2: "Some new magazine, as I understand. On the computer, they said."
PM1: "What, like a... CD-ROM magazine? Anyway, if they ask, just tell them we're not sure there's a demand."
PM2: "Do I tell them about the mail bag?"
PM1: "No, Roger, you don't tell them about the mail bag."

I just thought, in case Kusuda drops by, he needs to see the unstarred comments, too... so I approved a couple of them... then I kept clicking... and before I knew it, I couldn't stop anymore...
I just really-really-really-really-really... want DC3...so it's OK if everybody thinks I'm obnoxious for a while...
