While Professor Layton fans in the west are still waiting on the second series installment The Diabolical Box, Japanese gamers are about to enjoy the fourth (the non-localized Layton-kyōju to Saigo no Jikan Ryokō is the third), which includes, get this, a 100-hour long Layton RPG subtitled London Life. Looks like Earthbound! Yee-haw.

At last night's LEVEL-5 VISION conference, the company announced that Professor Layton and the Devil's Flute will include a bonus game, Professor Layton and London Life.

The Brownie Brown-developed London Life is an RPG that, according to Level-5's Akihiro Hino, will last over 100 hours. It was originally announced for the ROID cell phone game service -- we have yet to learn whether it will still be released there in addition to DS. Devil's Flute will be out on November 26 in Japan.

    Actually, The Diabolical Box is the second game in the Professor Layton series. Might want to fix that.

    But anyways, it's pretty awesome that they're adding in some huge RPG as a mere bonus mode. But I wonder if it will really be 100 hours...
