I think Kotaku said it best when they brought up how few of us actually woke up expecting to see five minutes of the Professor figure skating.
Though, this video isn't actually just to show off how he balances skating with that huge cranium, as astute watchers will notice the soundtrack to Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva playing in the background. Eternal Diva was the first, feature length release for highly enjoyable puzzle solving series, and it opened in Japanese theatres last month. In fact, sales were so good that the team has indicated their hopes to put out a feature length Layton movie every winter.
Sadly, no word on a US localization, but it'll happen "eventually," the series is popular enough in the US, and well... we here at vice like it.
























Also ya Level-5 has been gaining quite a bit of cred over in Japan it seems. That the film did well isn't suprising.
I've only played the first game so far but I just loved it. The music, the story and the artstyle perhaps more than the game itself, fun and (occasionally) frustrating as it was.
I'm not one for ice shows, there seems to be only so much you can do with it, but the movie still intruiges me.
If you want to see something cool and live action Professor Layton related. Try This:
Oh HWAP, probably my favorite feature to come out of Destructoid.
Agreed, though I do like the Reverend Anthony Rants as well. Past those two things, I could really care less about DESTRUCTOID.
New HAWPs are pretty much only seen on GameTrailers.com now. I believe they have a contract with the site.
There's a lot of interesting conversations we could have about said issues, but yeah, I agree for the most part.
