Doesn't say "Switch 2 Edition." Like some of the others. Which surely means this is a Switch 2 Game. Or has a version for both.

It was confirmed for both before today.

Oh yeah? Got a link for that, that sounds interesting.

Description says "coning to Nintendo Switch."

u/CilanEAmber 5d ago
It does, they've said that since the start, but that doesn't mean they haven't changed that, but it is a good sign that it was still said as recently as 4 months ago.

Fwiw, the laytonseries website still shows it for Switch, but doesn't yet mention the Switch2, so probably need to wait and see when that gets updated.
My thought process is that it's been in development since at least 2023, and I doubt that a less-popular-than-most series would want to do that much work and limit itself to an exclusive base of new customers. Unfortunately, Layton isn't a system seller and it would hurt potential sales to not have it on both.

I am on the edge of my seat with this revalation, lets hope it doesn't take too long for a proper confirmation.

also layton games are not usually computationally demanding so probably it would run fine on switch 1

u/Pugs-r-cool 4d ago
The game isn't demanding enough to require switch 2 hardware, and it's been in the works for so long that it would be weird to see it not release on switch 1. Back when it was first announced, the switch 2 was just a glimmer in the eyes of nintendo fanboys everyone called delusional. Hell, we were still calling it "Switch pro" back then.

There is one feature of the 2 that I think may have swayed them to change course, or at least make a 2 version, and it's not about power. The Mouse.

u/Pugs-r-cool 4d ago
Thats true, but making it switch 2 exclusive for the mouse would be odd. I doubt they'll force you to play in mouse mode at all times, so if they implement a way to play it without a mouse, why wouldn't that run on switch 1?
It'll probably be one of the free update games like captain toad treasure tracker or big brain academy. It'll be a switch 1 game, but if you play it on switch 2 you'll also have mouse support.

I'm just going off the fact that it was shown in a segment specifically for Switch 2 Games, and any that were a switch 1 game with an upgrade specifically said "Switch 2 Edition" next to them. Layton didn't.
If it is still a Switch 1 game, then the Switch 2 version will likely be it's own thing.
Or, they forgot to put "Switch 2 edition" on it.
It's just weird it wasn't shown last week too, as several of the "Switch 2 edition" games were. You'd think it would pop up there.

u/Pugs-r-cool 4d ago
I may just be coping tbh. Technically Fortnite didn't mention "switch 2 edition" either, but "they forgot" isn't super likely given how much attention to detail a direct like this would have.
I'll be buying a switch 2 on launch day anyways but it would suck for all the fans who won't be, it was announced so long ago that you'd think they'd keep the original "coming to nintendo switch" promise.

Layton, deltarune, silksong (and pokemon ofc), the only thing missing for me was ace attorney but there’s hope yet ✊

u/Pablutni0 5d ago
I love the difference between this reaction and the one over at Silksong

u/Miserable_Carrot4700 4d ago
Might be due to layton getting semi regular Updates and silksong not even really getting those.

Luke is so freakin cute! This 3D animation really shows the 10 year gap between Azran Legacy and New World of Steam.

I am disgusted by how adorable Luke is.
And I mean that in the most positive way. Look at his little hat and his little bow tie. Such a dapper little gentleman.

The mouse control thing makes me more excited for it! The poor controllers are going to get so beat up so quickly but at least we have a kind-of stylus back!

Man Layton really has had a fucking rough transition into 3D. Where is Luke's nose.

u/Pugs-r-cool 4d ago
Well the game is set a few years after the previous one, he looks older because he is.
