It seems that Mystery Room has returned and been rebranded as a Professor Layton game starring his son as an investigator for Scotland Yard.

It has also moved platforms from DS to iOS.

I see blood. Is this why it's not on a Nintendo platform?

I'm glad his son looks nothing like him, that actually makes sense per real life :lol

Gravijah · Oct 15, 2011

time to steal that avatar before boney gets it.

Brothers?

Brothers?

I was wondering about that as well.

Ezalc · Oct 15, 2011

Came in expecting Professor Layton platformer, instead got Phoenix Wright in 3D.

Whoa wait a minute, Layton has a son?! When did this happen?

were you really?

dallow_bg · Oct 15, 2011

Surprising move and welcome to see.

Nirolak · Oct 15, 2011

Boney said:

Yes. When the logo came up I asked if the female detective was just a really effeminate guy.

Pizza Luigi · Oct 15, 2011

This shit looks amazing. It's like a Phoenix Wright, Layton, Ghost Trick, Hotel Dusk-hybrid with amazing jazz music.

I want this. So bad.

The Awesomest · Oct 15, 2011

'Layton Brothers' sounds better than 'Layton Siblings'

The girl actually isn't a Layton.

The title kind of implies he has a second son though.

the killer

Gravijah · Oct 15, 2011

maybe the bad guy is laytons other son

thetrin · Oct 15, 2011

This looks awesome. All they needed to say was "Layton iOS5"

Can't wait to play this on my iPad.

Maybe it's the start of a series where we'll see more Laytons later.

Its kind of funny because I remember the original protagonist of Mystery Room looking almost exactly like young Layton.

Frost_Ace · Oct 15, 2011

1) iOS, really?

2) how are those two characters related to prof.Layton?

1) Yah, great to see!

2) Explains one in the OP...

Fuu · Oct 15, 2011

I want this so bad. It's nice to see a great IP like Layton branching out like this.

jj984jj · Oct 15, 2011

Yeah I'll probably get this, especially if Koshiro is still doing the music.

randomkid · Oct 15, 2011

I feel like the new art and characters are kinda a downgrade. I dunno, it just seems a little less charming?

Do we know if Koshiro is still doing the soundtrack?

sfried · Oct 15, 2011

I smell crossover with Ghost Trick.

The Shu Takumi love is showing.

[Nintex] · Oct 15, 2011

I didn't know Layton had a son, what about his wife?

I spend 3 hours thinking what thread to post in first after my release

Layton don't no need no beard, son

Boney · Oct 15, 2011

why did you get banned for anyway

B_Rik_Schitthaus · Oct 15, 2011

Why does one of the brothers have tits?

jediyoshi · Oct 15, 2011

Level5 classin' up the joint as always.

I wonder if the old characters are in this game?
That one guy in the couch looks a lot like the new protagonist

kai3345 · Oct 15, 2011

So is the star Layton's brother? or his son?

PhantomOfTheKnight · Oct 15, 2011

Looks great, but I'm not keen on this being attached to the Layton franchise in anyway, especially since the artstyle is so different.

Takao · Oct 15, 2011

Yeah, I'm confused. The title is Layton Brothers, but the game stars Layton's (seemingly) only son? Wat.

Kikujiro · Oct 15, 2011

This will be the first game I'll buy for iOS when I'll get an iPhone.

I reposted a list of a bunch of 3DS games including pictures in some sort of 3DS vs. Vita thread and that wasn't a great way to continue the discussion according to the mods and they're right about that. So write down 'List War without Context' in the unwritten rules of GAF book.

Ushojax · Oct 15, 2011

It has also moved platforms from DS to iOS.

If I ever get an iPhone, I shall buy this immediately. I hope it comes to other platforms eventually.

fernoca · Oct 15, 2011

Damn, for iOS..

But damn it,. looks so awesome...love the art!
