GR: Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney may seem like wild, out-of-the-box horseplay, but Capcom is a publisher known for crossover hybrids with other properties like Street Fighter X Tekken, Project X Zone, Marvel vs. Capcom, and Capcom vs. SNK. Not only is it encouraging to find a developer that's so willing to collaborate with others, but it's a calculated, concerted marketing effort to reach gaming audiences of different brands. While Capcom and Level-5 don't have prior experience combining two puzzle-based franchises together, and the entire concept seems downright ridiculous on paper, the blend is surprisingly cohesive and agreeably straddles the line between logic-intensive riddles and comic relief.

Now with twice the finger-pointing!

Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney may seem like wild, out-of-the-box horseplay, but Capcom is a publisher known for crossover hybrids with other properties like . Not only is it encouraging to find a developer that's so willing to collaborate with others, but it's a calculated, concerted marketing effort to reach gaming audiences of different brands. While Capcom and Level-5 don't have prior experience combining two puzzle-based franchises together, and the entire concept seems downright ridiculous on paper, the blend is surprisingly cohesive and agreeably straddles the line between logic-intensive riddles and comic relief.

For all intents and purposes, Professor Layton and Phoenix Wright stumble into a friendly, symbiotic relationship that belies the "vs." in the game title. Maybe this particular word choice is meant to reference Capcom's past crossover titles or maybe they figure that "versus" gets gaming nerds all riled up. But apart from a specific instance near the endgame, Hershel and Nick along with their sidekicks Luke and Maya become fast friends, combining their puzzle-solving prowess to clear the name of Espella Cantabella, a teenage girl who looks as innocent as Red Riding Hood but has been accused of being a witch. Both dynamic duos, mysteriously misplaced from the real world and plopped into the fantastical city named Labyrinthia with knights, parades, and inquisitors, must gather evidence and disentangle several magical murders to free Espella from being burned alive in the guilty-before-proven-innocent witch trials.

Another week in August on the eShop features another nice assortment of Virtual Console games. Mega Man 6 and Life Force, both originally on NES, are out on the Wii U Virtual Console while Xtreme Sports, a little-known WayForward Game Boy Color game, hits 3DS Virtual Console. The other big release is a free version of Disney Infinity, though you'll still need to the base and figures to do anything with it. There are a number of sales going on for the next few weeks as well, including deals on the excellent pair of Nano Assault games from Shin'en on Wii U and 3DS. Next week will feature a Virtual Console release of Donkey Kong Jr. Math (yay?), the launch of the 3DS retail game Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and the debut of 2D side-scrolling 3DS game Azure Striker Gunvolt.

Phoenix Wright games have about as much to do with the real practice of law as Mario games do with the daily routine of a plumber. These crazy interactive novels are fairly light on gameplay, they play fast and loose with actual matters of law, and the stories are inherently ridiculous. But that's all part of the appeal. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies is the second iOS entry f...
