We know the Layton series is a moneymaker -- the first four DS games have shipped over 11 million units globally. Nonetheless, every time one of the games hits a milestone, I feel like throwing a party.
Just this morning, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino tweeted that the original game, Curious Village, had crossed one million copies sold in Japan alone. Time to break out the good vintage.
There was no reason for me to post this other than that Layton is a badass. I apologize for nothing.

Though Layotn vs Pheonix Wright will suffice.
Ok, I'll stop spazzin now, lol, but really I can tell you right now that's the only damn reason I'll break my neck to get a 3DS before this year is out. Hell, if it means Capcom will open the door for more PW on the 3DS then I'm so on it.
HKK~ You should see what he's hiding in his diabolical box.
I'm guessing Specter's Flute will be released this year
and Mask of Miracle will be released the following
we're behind on Layton, we still haven't had a U.S. released of the film Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
While most people will laugh (and scoff) at this since the subject is a caricature professor in a puzzle game, it is hard fact that Layton is a total badass. He is a prestigious professor in archeology, a puzzle master, a tea connoisseur, a high level swordsman, a regular aid to the police force, a formula 1 driver and an absolute gentleman. All at the age of... ok the age is unknown but he can't be past 40. And that's just the stuff that comes at the top of my head.
It wouldn't surprise me if he was great with guns and such weapons. Aaaaggg can't wait for the fourth game (you know all those game before the mask of miracle); release it already Nintendo!
