We’re diving into our long-anticipated RetroActive spotlight on Professor Layton and the Curious Village. This discussion covers everything from its intriguing gameplay and captivating music to the charming art style, intriguing plot twists, and of course, the brain-busting puzzles that make it such a memorable experience. We’ve timed this feature to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo DS, ensuring we revisit this classic in time for 2024.
And yes, we’ve managed to do just that.
Just a quick heads-up: this episode was actually recorded back on December 19, so if there have been any recent developments in the gaming world, we haven’t covered them here.
We hope you’re thoroughly enjoying the holiday festivities, and we’re looking forward to reconnecting in 2025.
Feel free to send us your cards here.
