Professor Layton will return in an all new adventure for Nintendo 3DS on October 26 with the release of Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.
The new adventure features 150 brand new brainteasers, a new set of mini-games, plus 365 additional Daily Puzzles distributed via the Nintendo Network – one puzzle a day for a whole year from the day of the game’s launch.
New mini-games from the Professor’s Trunk:
Toy Robot: Challenges you to control a wind-up toy robot that always moves three steps at a time. Navigating a series of contraptions along the way, can you guide it to the goal safely?
One-Stop Shop: Your skills of stocking shelves in an appealing way are put to the test – you’ll only succeed if you manage to entice customers to buy everything off the shelves in one go.
Rabbit Show: You’ll help Luke train a circus rabbit that has been deemed unfit to perform by its angry ringmaster. Chat with and train the rabbit to teach it new tricks and perform in plays that will persuade its master to accept it back into the circus.
The fifth game in the series sees you pick up with Layton, Luke and Emmy some time after the events of Professor Layton and the Spectre’s Call. The trio is called upon to stop the mysterious Masked Gentleman from terrorising the city of Monte d’Or with dark miracles, such as turning citizens to stone.
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask on the Nintendo 3DS uses 3D animations and character models to bring depth to the visuals.
The game also features a brand new game mode that sees the young Professor Layton explore ancient ruins and requires you to help him reach the exits of a series of puzzling chambers while avoiding a variety of obstacles and mummy enemies.
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask will launch across Europe on October 26.
