Hino unveiled Level 5's brand new game today at a conference in Tokyo. The title of the game is "Professor Layton and the Mysterious Village" for the Nintendo DS.
Edit to add details to first post: Okay, the producer and planning for the game is undertaken by Hino, as usual. But the game's directing supervisor is Akira Tago, an author of best selling brain teasing puzzles in Japan. The game itself is an adventure game where an english gentleman named Professor Reiton (Leyton?) and his young assistant Luke solve puzzles together in a heart-warming atmosphere. This is the first game that Level 5 will be publishing themselves.
