Sadly not.

But the dub's really not as bad as the trailer made it sound. Quite charming actually. (And I loathe dubs)

Hm, then let me flip this around, even though I probably already know the answer.

Any word if the JP version has English? Hahaha.

It'd be nice to have both in one, but I suppose that's asking for a bit much.

it's listed in the JP iOS store with the following languages:

言語: 日本語、イタリア語、オランダ語、スペイン語、ドイツ語、フランス語、英語、韓国語

the bolded one means English; but I haven't tried it out yet, it's suspicious that the JP/KR versions are only 896 MB while the EU/AU versions are 1.51GB.

There's also still a chance the US iOS/Android version could have Japanese as a language option, I don't think the US versions have been released yet.

edit: Oh, and I tried switching the iPhone to Japanese but it doesn't change the available options in-game (EU iOS version).

Sounds great, thanks!

You can make changes/put the additional info in the OP if you want, otherwise I'll try to turn it into more of a real OT tomorrow.

Puzzles so far are nicely varied. As fun as those in the first few Layton games were, but a fair bit easier.

What percentage of the puzzles involve matchsticks

up on the EU/AU iTunes Stores!

1.51GB

€17,99 / £15.99 / AUD 24.99

edit: Korean iTunes Store as well (897 MB like the Japanese version, there might be two versions with the smaller one not containing all the languages or something like that)
Click to expand...

Why is the UK price different on google play? o_O

It's £17.99 on google play for whatever reason, not £15.99.

Checking the US play store at the top of every hour, lol. I need my Layton fix
and something to tide me over until Great Ace Attorney 2 in two weeks

Thanks for catching the OT, I've been traveling so I didn't want to commit to making one.

If you pre-register for it I think you get an email when it's live

Here are the details for the IAP in the game:

There are currently 15 sets of costumes you can buy individually. Each set comes with a puzzle. There are also two bundles for Sets 1-10, and Sets 11-15. These are cheaper than buying individually but if you buy any of the individual pieces you CANNOT buy the bundle it is in anymore. The pricing seems kinda high, and if you buy both bundles, the total cost of the game would be around 40 bucks, which would put it on par with the 3DS retail game.

So I guess the question is how much you think 15 extra puzzles + 15 sets of dress up stuff is worth!

Quick and dirty OT update done, they sure didn't put out a lot of English marketing material and copy...

I'll update the OP tomorrow with better (hopefully English) graphics and make it a bit ”purdier" ;)

edit: let me know if I forgot to add something important

Oh mannnnn I was going to wait for the 3DS release but I don't think I'll be able to keep myself back from some new Layton goodness.
Looks like I'll grab it off the App Store! Can't wait.

How much is it? It only mentions pre-registration on my end.
Click to expand...

not sure, it shows me the price in local currency because Google stores always check your location. EUR17,99 in my case.

Its possible the game isn't fully up yet, sorry if that's the case but it should only be minutes now. The link didn't work until it went live just now. Same thing happened with the JP/AU/etc Google stores.

Gah, I don't know if I wanna bite now or wait for the 3DS release. Would be nice to have, especially on my phone, since I need my puzzle but splatoon 2 is right around the corner.

This post seems to imply they're paid dlc on the 3ds too(?) Unless they're different costumes or most are free in the 3ds Version etc

Would like impressions how this is on iPad vs iPhone. So the graphics look great on an iPad or will the mobility of phone win out? Although I don't play much out of the house..

I could give two fucks about the clothes, but how many puzzles is 15 puzzles compared to the full game? Is that a decent chunk more?

It looks like you can transfer saves back and forth between the two with a Level 5 account, so it looks like you can use both as it suits the situation.

If it's anything like previous Layton titles there should be over 100 puzzles ingame with plenty of free daily puzzles

Fake edit from the android store -

"The largest collection of puzzles in any Layton Series title" so that should mean over 150(?) Base puzzles at least with 365 daily puzzles.

Azran legacy have over 500 in total with all the daily stuff.

$15.99
€17.99

£17.99

Get to fuck.

EDIT: If I convert, $16 is less than £12.50. I'm not willing to spend 50% more just because publishers can't convert currency correctly.

Oh wow, the game is already out? Watch me get spoiled by a thumbnail on youtube's suggested videos again like with Azran Legacy.

You forgot about VAT (which doesn't explain the full cost. Should be £15.99 at most imo)
