It's been a while since we've heard much about Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, the goofy 3DS crossover title announced last fall. The game's proceeding along, though, due for a 2012 release in Japan, and the two main folks behind it -- Layton series producer Jun Suzuki, and Ace Attorney creator Shu Takumi -- sat down with Famitsu magazine in this week's issue to discuss how things are coming along.

TNS: "We're still holding out hope that Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney will get another chance in the spotlight."

VGChartz's Alex Bailey: "In order to prepare for this year’s The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, I went through all of the series’ mainline games yet again. As a result, wherever I looked throughout The Great Ace Attorney, I couldn’t help but notice its influences from across the franchise... what surprised me throughout The Great Ace Attorney was how much it took from one of the least remembered entries in the series: Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney."

Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright team up in the long-awaited crossover. Harkening back to their classic styles that made them famous, with Maya Fey returning and the slightly older Luke Triton, the game is oozing with fanservice.
