TechCrunch is reporting that Nintendo's exclusivity with the Professor Layton series is ending and one of the first things developer Level-5 will be doing is releasing a new iOS game called Layton Brothers: Mystery Room. Unfortunately, details further than that are non-existent at this point. We'll just have to wait and see on pricing and availability, as well as how the content of Mystery Room will compare to previous installments in the Layton franchise.

What has me leaning back in my chair and contemplatively puffing my proverbial pipe with this news is the fact that the Professor Layton games are by far the DS's most successful series– Both critically and commercially. If you follow TouchArcade, you no doubt remember the various pieces we've done on Nintendo such as "Nintendo Facing Investor Pressure to Bring Games to iPhone" analyzing the puzzling future of the gaming giant.

I don't think it's much of a stretch to say that the Professor Layton series brought a bunch of players to the Nintendo DS, and while I'm sure the DS still would have been a successful platform without it, it's definitely not a good sign to see developers anxious to jump off the exclusivity ship with the big N.

Yeah, they dropped that one unexpetedly. I grabbed it as soon as it hit. Bit of a bargain seeing as it's the best levels from 1 and 2 with iOS exclusives levels on top for about a whole $5. This sort of carry on is going to tickle Nintendo a fair bit right when they don't need it.

Yeh definantly. If they keep offering up DS games on the iOS, what's the point of having a DS? Your mobile is a way more readily accessible for that quick gaming fix to pass the time when waiting for certain things or have that spare 5-10mins. Well they'll always have flag boy Mario though

I'll be mega chuffed if they announce the 3DS version of Sonic Generations for the iPhone. I don't think it uses the 2 screens like the Rush games so it shouldn't be a hassle for a 4S or Ipad2. But then again, they still haven't even ported Sonic 3 yet.

I saw the thread title, and the first thing that came to mind was posting about scribblenauts. OSG minds think alike, lol.

I'll be chuffed at Layton on iOs as well.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

Layton Is an extremely well fitting game for the iOS. For those power plays where youve got a spare 10mins on the bus or lunch break or on the shitter. Bust open a few puzzles and put down till next time
