Having recently wrapped up
Professor Layton and the Curious Village, we've been left with nothing to do but curl up and gently rock ourselves in the corners of our bedrooms, pausing only to twitch or shake, and refusing to eat. We just can't hide it: we
miss Professor Layton and its puzzley delights. In our less sane moments, we'd even tolerate more of Luke's
inane simpering for
just one more hit of puzzles about matchsticks, moving blocks, or sliding tiles.
So imagine how envious we felt when we learned that Japan is getting
MOAR PROFESSOR LAYTON! No, not the sequels -- we already know about
those, silly. Instead, Japanese gamers will soon be able to rent a compilation known as
Level 5 Premium Gold from music rental specialists Tsutaya. This desirable collection contains demos of two Level 5 games --
football soccer RPG
Inazuma Eleven and
Professor Layton and the Devil's Box -- and, most thrillingly of all, a
totally original Layton side story.
Professor Layton and the Holiday in London features the good Professor in his London office, reflecting on his worldwide adventures with Luke, and solving a dozen new puzzles in the process.
More frustratingly still, this compendium was given away for
free back at last September's
Tokyo Game Show, under the name of
Level 5 Premium Silver. This can only lead to one outcome: Professor Layton and the Ridiculously Pricey Ebay Auctions.

I just beat Professor Layton last night. But yeah, I'd love to get my hands on this, even though I couldn't read it. Japan gets all the sweet stuff.

I know it's impractical to give north America every game that Japan gets but this is the type of thing that gets me. Japan has Club Nintendo, Japan has game giveaways and free Game and Watch collections and games with awesome peripherals Slide Mag Adventure and Araknoid.
All the while, North America gets more NintenDogzzz sequels and PetZZ GameZZ.
I wish N.O.A. gave a shit about A.
I can only hope this version makes it's way overseas in the next professor Layton game's bonus features.
And at least the download puzzle this week was pretty fun, I hope the rest are as good.

I couldn't agree with you more, especially the first paragraph.

Stop whining!
Think about us Europeans, we never get shit!
We mostly get our games last, think about that.
Oh! And preorder stuff? Ain't happening.
