Finally, I have a Capcom crossover title that I'm excited to see. No, it isn't Marvel vs. Capcom. Nor is it Street Fighter vs. Tekken. It's Phoenix Wright Ace Detective Versus Professor Layton. The top two mystery crime solver franchises meet head to head in a worthy title, and I'm glad to report it looks really good.

Phoenix Wright, appearing for the first time in 3D, finds himself in a distant land, in an uncertain time period. He finds an equally displaced Professor Layton. Both instantly take a mutual dislike to each other, as Layton investigates a particular girl. The criminal this time is a young girl called Mahony (a close homonym to "magic" in Japanese), who is accused of being a witch. It doesn't help that Mahony actually has some supernatural powers, such as knowing the contents of books she hasn't read yet.

The story was penned by the writer of the Phoenix Wright series, and the ace attorney this time is facing not an orderly courthouse but an angry mob as witnesses, a knight of the religious order as prosecutor, and various clergy as judges. The world is out to get this girl, and only Phoenix and his naïve sense of justice is here to protect her from death.

With the stakes so high, Phoenix and Layton must learn to cooperate on the case. The image of the two side by side, pointing their finger in unison in a double "OBJECTION!", was a truly thrilling scene. I hold nothing but high hopes for this title.
