Professor Layton RPG not coming to Europe

[Alex IDV]

As you may know, the RPG "Professor Layton's London Life" was included in the Japanese version of Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call/Last Specter, and it was recently confirmed that it will be included in the American localization too. Pretty cool, right?

Wrong.

There are currently no plans to include it in the European version. While nothing has been said about the Australian version, one can only assume that London Life will be missing in it too, as Australia is part of the PAL region.

I don't know if there are many Layton fans here at TSR, but if there are, please sign this petition I started a while ago. It may not help, but who knows? It's better than simply accepting the fact that one of the largest markets for Layton games is missing out on a feature that is already going to get localized anyway.

Its on the DS right? So it can be imported?

[Alex IDV]

Yeah

Luke's American voice is horrible, though, so I'd either have to buy both versions, or pirate the American one

And what's worse is, what if this happens in future installments too? I can't play American 3DS games on my European 3DS

I don't see how PAL not getting the game makes it less cool that we are.

Cause it's still cool.

It's not that it's uncool that you're getting it, that's awesome, it's more that it's uncool that Level-5/Nintendo of America localizes it and releases it for the American market, but not for Europe. Sorry for the confusion, it's probably because English isn't my first language.
