    I'd love to watch my Layton on a full screen telly with full voice acting and the whole thing looking like an anime.

    Oh well, there's still the upcoming movie.

    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.

    I have to wonder if this is going to actually be as strange as that Animal Crossing anime they had a while back. Not bad mind you but it was a weird thing to see.

    Looks very nice, but if the story is as bad as the ones in the games (and I loved the games), then I'm not sure it will be worth watching. Unfortunately, seeing as how it's the same dude writing, I can't imagine it will be any better.

    Sigh, I wish I was the creator of a genre defying quirky well produced title with a charming international art style that could easily be spun off into animated adventures that hearken back to classic genres long since missing from popular culture. That'd be sweet.

    Just going to add to the hate-pile; why the hell was this deemed worthy of a link? The guy rates implied homosexuality as "creepier" than implied bestiality. The fuck?
    This is a case of not one but two people reaching, and reaching badly at that, just to make their daily posting quota.

    The amount of gay-bashing in this article is shocking. Okay, so Leon and Luis? Never took them as gay lovers but this jackass not only detects a faint homosexuality but he then declares it as a four-star level of discomfort. Why? They're just two men who barely interact in a video game. But even if they were gay lovers, I don't see how this is at all "uncomfortable" or "wrong." Kotaku should be ashamed for advertising this sick editorial of hate.

    @jpd44: I'm not sure what's more disturbing, that, or the fact that this guy writes like HE'S ACTUALLY FUNNY.

    But yeah, I didn't understand how he even came up with half that crap, let alone acted all 'hahagaylol' about it. It's not just somewhat of an editorial of hate, its a shitty and poorly written piece of garbage. I swore Kotaku was above publishing this sort of stuff.

    @jpd44: Yup, agreed. The guy seems to look for - or maybe his warped mind just sees - 'creepiness' in everything. I think the fact that he detects paedophilia everywhere says more about him.

    I really don't get the uncomfortable vibe everyone feels about playing as Kurt Cobain...maybe I'm just heartless or something.

    @stingjc: Or you were born past 1985. I think you really have to have been around to understand what Kurt Cobain was about or why this is so odd.

    It's like trying to explain the 1980s to someone that wasn't there. All they can think of is crap cartoons and neon, when in reality it was really something very different.

    @Paul_Is_Drunk: Don't forget the poofy hair. I lived the 80s, I listened to his music, and I don't get the Cobain thing either. He's dead. So what? Why is that a big deal? Games are filled with dead people.

    Cobain was more of a 90s thing anyway.

    @Paul_Is_Drunk: I was indeed born pre-1985. I just don't see his glamour, I guess. Committing suicide doesn't make someone immortal in my mind, I guess.

    @Baff: The first Nirvana album was released in 1989. The reason they say you have to be born pre-1985 is because otherwise you weren't old enough to be a fan while he was still alive. He's definitely a 90s thing.
