Professor Layton VS Phoenix Wright

I just hope this video game adaptation works out better than another famous team up (that was only in anime movie form) of Meitantei Conan and Lupin III.  That movie was a travesty.... and the two art styles didn't really mesh all that well either.

This is ridiculous and awesome all at the same time. I wasn't planning on getting a 3DS, but this might be able to change my mind. It's fascinating because Level-5 and Capcom are great companies and, likewise, Prof. Layton and Ace Attorney are great franchises. I wonder how this will all work out... it could be amazing!

Sure didn't see that coming, since game companies generally don't play well with one another (preferring to stay Rivals instead), so the mixing of franchises doesn't happen very much at all.

This is the weirdest and the most intriguing thing I've ever heard of.  8)
Especially considering how PL storylines always end up. ^_^;

But this just confirms that Shu Takumi would rather make "this".... than continue on with an Apollo Justice sequel, doesn't it?  :p

A ghost trick sequel would be cool too.
or would have been

Which is a damned shame if you ask me, because I would preorder that in an instant. This...thing is like putting a delicious burger in a stale, borderline-moldy roll. For the life of me I don't understand what people see in Layton.

Amazingu, only a few FIGHTING games get crossovers, how about any crossover titles with any type of adventure/storyline in them, as this one seems to be?

Well, Namco × Capcom isn't a fighting game per se.

I would say that's simply more a matter of practicality (it's simpler to cross over properties in a fighting or sports game, where you don't have to worry so much about aligning the finer story details) than of "game companies not playing well with one another".

They're competitors so of course you aren't going to see these types of crossovers in multitude.  Same for most industries.  You don't see movie studios sharing their properties very much, do you?  (Aside from the limited exception of horror movies.)

I think this game will be awesome!

The style of the characters are very different but this doesn't mean that the game will not be good.

A perfect example that this kind of mixture work is Kingdon Hearts.
When I found this game I never in my life I imagine Square Enix and Disney characters together. But the game is so great that now Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game of all.

They will make a Kingdon Hearts fo 3DS too, and this is another motive that will make me buy a 3DS for me.

I've played already all ace attorney games and I'm waiting Miles Edgeworth 2 now.
I'm finishing Ghost Trick and I'm also playing the games of Professor Layton.
 
So, for me, Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright will be a very nice game.
