Three years and ten months - that’s how long it’s been since Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney was first revealed in a blaze of glory (and animated trailer). Since then there’s been a second Ace Attorney Investigations game released, a fifth Ace Attorney game announced, developed, and released internationally, another spinoff series announced, and three Layton games released internationally.

Busy times for both series, but for North American fans, the wait is finally over. Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney launches today in North America, and is available now on the Nintendo eShop for $29.99 USD.  Tomorrow, a physical copy will hit store shelves.

As always, the C-R forums are open for discussion of the game and anything else AA-related. We’re still on the lookout for people to provide content (case summaries, walkthroughs, etc.), so if you’re interested, reach out to us through e-mail (courtrecord@gmail.com - no, there’s no ‘s’) or post on the forums to let us know.

Finally, our OC Contest is coming into the home stretch - and there’s PLvsPW artbooks and plenty of other swag still up for grabs!

So dust off your top hats and pick up your picarats, folks. A very special court is now in session.
