Wright vs. Layton: Tell Them We Want It!

[Thaius]

I'm sure many of you are aware of the fact that Capcom and Level 5 have collaborated to make a Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton crossover game. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104508-Professor-Layton-Taking-On-Phoenix-Wright-In-New-Crossover] Despite how amazing this is, however, you may also have heard that they currently have no plans to release said piece of awesomeness outside of Japan. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104551-Professor-Layton-Phoenix-Wright-Crossover-for-Japan-Only-Says-Capcom]

This is immensely disappointing: we are talking about a mix of both gameplay and story of two of the absolute best series the DS has seen, and considering the system's immense lineup of quality games, that's saying something. This is a game of which we cannot let them deprive us.

So while I could not find a way to contact Capcom directly on its site, there is a featured blog post that is on the front page of the site's Community section. This is the closest I could get, and it looks like it's getting quite the following, and they are encouraging people to post in it. I highly suggest we all head over and comment on it.

If anyone finds an actual way to email Capcom, let me know and I'll edit it into this OP.

Spread the word to other forums, let's get more people in on this.

It's only been a day, there's NEVER announcements to bring a game to other regions this soon. (Unless we're talking about some triple A title) I'm honestly not worried, but it still can't hurt to try this out.

Never played Layton, heard it's fun.

Phoenix Wright is one of my favorite series... LETS BRING IT.

True, but the words "no plans" are a bit worrisome. I say better safe than sorry.

Indeed. Well, I posted, and since there's already about 500 comments there and it hasn't been long, I'd say we're safe. =)

Considering japan is one year ahead of us on Professer Layton and has the movie (though I think it been realsed in the UK) its no surpise they haven't anounced a US realse date.

I'm not sure if he's an official spokesperson for Capcom or what, but it seems like it. At the very least, this blog post is featured on the front of Capcom's Community page. It's the closest thing I could find on the site to a "Contact Us" page. :/
