Luke, those psychelocks remind me of a puzzle

Don't mind me, I feel like I have to comment on the silly yet amazing news that is the Professor Layton/Phoenix Wright crossover game for the 3DS. Yes, it's legit. I'm torn between OMG WHY SO EPIC and OMG IS THIS CRACK FOR REAL. I CAN'T EVEN. Also, this is the coolest Gyakuten news in a long time, and of course Eshiro isn't involved while Shu Takumi is. CONCLUSION: LET TAKUMI ALONE HANDLE THE FRANCHISE FROM NOW ON, OKAY?

Too bad they didn't adapt Phoenix and Maya to the Layton art style. I think they can rock that look, their canon already being an anime cartoon of sorts and all.

If Edgeworth isn't in the game and people wank about it, I'll laugh my ass out.

But yes, coolest official crossover idea since that Dragon Ball/One Piece AU one-shot. Too bad I suck at Layton games and I have yet to finish the first one ;;

ETA: IMPORTANT! I read in a forum where does Kurou's name come from. Actually it's a part of Minamoto no Yoshitsune's full name. The kanji mean "ninth son", but that's meaningless in Okamiverse (...I hope so, imagine 9 mini-Wakas). LOL screenwriters, still throwing bizarre Yoshitsune references on Ushiwaka-related stuff?

ETA2: ...No plans for Layton/Wright in the West. Tiiiiime to break out my "capcom sucks so much tag", sigh. I knew this post was too happy.

If there are nine little Wakas, would that mean Ammy had a litter? :D

I... can't really say anything about the possibility of nine Wakas without telling a spoiler for Kurou's origins. But as far as a litter of sun cubs, says Wiki about wolves:

The average litter consists of 5–6 pups. Litters of 14–17 occur 1% of the time.

Y-yikes! How many Chibiterasus are there?

(Ah thanks, I'm trying to keep myself spoiler-lite)

Ten little puppies! Nine who look like daddy, and one who looks like mommy!

(Good thing, then! LJ doesn't let us do the fancy CSS tricks of white-text-on-white-background to hide spoilers anymore, anyway, so I can't tell them in this post. Or the infamous sparkly text. I'm really pissed about those.)

Haha, I don't know if that's cute or disturbing! XD IF Brush Gods need a set of two parents to breed, that is. I'm leaning to Ammy and the others doing asexual reproduction, but I have no idea. *is a party pooper?*

A crossover??? Wow, I'm torn between "AWESOME!" and "lolwhut".

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Same here! It's so cool, but it's still so weird. AT THE SAME TIME.

LMFAO I SO AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT EDGEWORTH
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LET PHOENIX AND MAYA GET SCREENTIME AGAIN

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

Replace Phoenix and Maya with Apollo and Trucy and it's me. But hey, I'm glad to see Maya again, munching on sammiches in cutscenes!

WELL I'M EXCITED ABOUT THE CROSSOVER, PERSONALLY but gaming has been going down the shithole lately anyway, so I might just be easier to please

...Nine Wakas, though. Holy crap just the thought of it terrifies me lmao DDD8

I love crossovers, so official ones are several kinds of awesome in my book.

No worries, there's only one mini-Waka that I know of. I hope so. The world would explode from the camp.

I CAN'T REALLY HANDLE THE PHOENIX/LAYTON CROSSOVER THING YET.

WHERE IS MY 3DS?

[rainmage.livejournal.com]

I JUST HEARD THERE ARE NO PLANS TO BRING IT TO THE WEST, SO MAYBE WE WON'T HANDLE IT EVER D:

*goes to add her "capcom sucks so much" tag, sob*
