Those HD cutscenes are worth it, alone

A scantfew days afterits announcement,Professor Layton and the Curious Village EXHDhas received a trailer and it looks great. While the game perfectly mimics the Nintendo DS’ dual screen setup on larger displays, I’m mostly in awe of the beautiful upconversion on those cutscenes. Even on the DS’ pixelated screen, the cutscenes looked wonderful and were very reminiscent of Studio Ghibli. Now, in full HD, they look stunning.

I’m not sure if the trailer is revealing other information about the game (I can’t read Japanese), but it does give us a glimpse at just howLaytonwill play on a smart device. Hopefully, Level-5 brings this to the West, because I’m game to replayLaytonin HD.
