The Nintendo DS had another big year in 2009 with a strong lineup of exclusive games. So which of the DS-only titles tat was released last year are worth playing?
""The Professor Layton 2 Walkthrough starts with Dr. Schrader’s Letter. Use these videos to make your way from the beginning to the end of the second game in the Professor Layton series."

"I found it a challenge in itself to score this game. On the one hand, overall flaws were few, with some problems from the first game remedied while some new, minor issues emerged. On the other hand, I enjoyed this game far more than the first one, and even with the repetition of puzzle types, the vastly increased content is a huge plus. Still, I found the ending (the mystery) very cheap and disappointing in a B-rated TV show kind of way, so that majorly damaged the game’s image for me."
"Professor Layton and the Curious Village was a surprisingly good game released for the DS last year. Combining look and find, brain teasers, and light adventure; Professor Layton had a rather interesting concept that worked together surprisingly well. Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box continues along the same formula, but with some improvements."

quote"...GameStop is charging just a bit more for Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. I was hard-pressed to find a retailer that didn't charge $29.99 for the title. I didn't take pictures from all the retailers I checked out, but there were many more that had the $29.99 price tag...sometimes even a dollar less. The only retailer to charge $34.99 is GameStop.
@Neoseeker returns once again, this time in the form of Layton@Neo: Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box @ Neoseeker! Level-5's honorable Professor Hershel Layton returns with his number one apprentice Luke in an all new adventure! Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box releases next week in North America, and a month from now in PAL territories.
In Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, our good friend Professor Layton has received a letter from his colleague and mentor Dr. Andrew...
Many people might be aware of Professor Layton's Twitter account and will undoubtedly remember him for his tease about the "Grand Smash Tournament" and fighting against "a blue robot boy, a possessed doll, and a tiny boxer." His Twitter page would be constantly updated with riddles to solve as he gave more information on the upcoming Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. A lot of people assumed it to be a clever marketing ploy by Nintendo to generate some publicity for the game.
That's ...
A new trailer for the upcoming movie "Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva" has been released. I really hope that they release it in america. Chances are that they won't, but a kid can dream can't he?
"In this latest escapade, Luke and Professor Layton, the supreme puzzle master, set out on a voyage of discovery to uncover the mysteries surrounding the suspicious death of Professor Layton’s mentor, Dr Schrader. The inquisitive duo find a train ticket, beside Dr Schrader’s body, for the Molentary Express with no destination printed on it, this clue begins their adventure travelling from the big city on the luxury train into the unknown..."
Video game developer Level-5 with its Team Layton group has released the third commercial for the upcoming anime film based on the company's widely successful Professor Layton series: Layton Kyouju to Eien no Utahime, which translates to Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva.
We still don't know much of the plot, but the characters Flora, Don Paolo, and Inspector Chelmey, who were introduced in the series' first game, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, will be shown in the movie...
"Level 5's President Akihiro Hino and Chiba University Professor, Akira Tago, author of a very famous series of puzzle books in Japan, have already worked together on three Professor Layton games in Japan, yet Europe, Australia and the US have only so far received the first outing. Now Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box has finally been unveiled in English and Cubed3 got the chance to goes hands-on with an early demo version to see how it is shaping up."
"Following on from their BAFTA winning success with Professor Layton and the Curious Village, Nintendo have been showcasing the second game in the series at this years’ Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box exclusively on Nintendo DS. With the first title still performing strongly at UK retail – a brand new bundle set for release on Friday, 12th June – it’s not surprising that a European release is yet to be confirmed."
Professor Layton and his assistant Luke return once more to North America, with the unveiling of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box at this year's E3. The dear Professor's mentor, Dr. Schrader has been killed, and it is up to Layton to find out who or what caused the death of the dear doctor. Profesor Layton and the Diabolical Box will release on August 24th.
