Time Machine? Level 5 trademarks new titles photo

Just the other day we told you that we hard that Japanese developer Level 5 is working on PS3 and Wii titles. Now we get word that the company has trademarked two new titles.

The two Japanese trademarks for Time Machine Story and Time Machine People sound like they have something to do with time travel. Is it the same game? Is it a series? Will it have the Epoch in it? A sword-wielding frog? A Mac application?

Siliconera points to the possibility of a Professor Layton. I think they're just covering their bases, though. It's something else, I bet. I hope it's something new.

Personally, I'm hoping for a visual novel. I think Level-5 could pull it off, and their games (Layton aside) usually sell much better in Japan.

I think it could be the third Professor Layton game. The third game came out in Japan November 2008 (if wikipedia is to be believed) and the translation is 'The Last Time Travel.' Hopefully a NA release date is announced soon!

Time Machine means different time periods. Time periods mean different cultures. Different cultures mean different art styles.

Level 5 is good with art.

I am getting a new pair of pants.
