Dear Reader:
Level-5 would love to see Professor Layton in Smash Bros., wants the Layton series to expand past games
A portion of a C3 interview with Mr. Akihiro Hino, Producer of Professor Layton and Pandora’s Box and President of LEVEL-5, Inc….
C3: It was recently revealed that Brownie Brown is creating an RPG mode for the fourth DS Layton game. Would you consider making a standalone Layton RPG or maybe doing something like a platform adventure with Hershel Layton and Luke working together?
Hino-san: Although we have no specific projects like those under way, hopefully the ‘Professor Layton’ brand will broaden its horizons considerably, and not only in the world of video gaming!
C3: Do you think Hershel or Luke would make good special guest characters in something like a new Mario Kart or Smash Bros.?
Hino-san: That would certainly be a wonderful opportunity!
