Professor Layton sequel announced, Japan filled with glee photo

Wired's Game|Life has word that a sequel to the amazingly solid, and sublimely styled Professor Layton and the Mysterious Town is coming to Japan this November -- a few weeks short of the release date for the original here in the States. The sequel -- Professor Layton and the Devil's Box -- is almost certainly not a hilariously pornographic alternate title for the disappointing Bedazzled remake starring Elizabeth Hurley, but based on the prior title in the series and the other work of Level 5 -- the series' creators -- it should at the very least be a clever, original game worthy of the attentions of anyone considered a fan of the RPG genre, the Adventure genre, or anything vomitted from the corpulent-yet-kawaii bosom of Mother Japan.

Thankfully, the title should be shown off at the upcoming TGS, so we'll try to get a look at it there.

An English translation of the first one would be even better.

Its out in January and looks good. Its also good to know Lever 5 will make some money, since I hear Lair is a bit dump.

Level 5 five also have a interesting soccer rpgs on the way too, next year.
