Professor Layton and the Last Spector Discussion Thread

N3o3k7Its annoying that this happens, but from what i understand to release a game in Europe, they have to convert the game into a certain amount of languages, (like German, Spanish, Italian), apparently this is some government law, so even though in the UK we could just get the same as USA, because of this stupid law it has to be translated into other languages.So instead of Level 5 spending however much time translating the whole of London life into another 5/6 languages, they have taken London life out the European copy, and are working on translating the 3DS game so we don't have to wait even longer for that to be translated into every other language.

Source or proof?

Hum.. 18th maybe right.http://www.gamestop.com/ds/games/professor-layton-and-the-last-specter/91400

I have confirmation from people on twitter that they went to physical locations (stores including EBgames/gamestop) and there were tons of copies. So It is definitely available today.

Maybe some stores weren't reached today

If some one was to buy it and dump it..., Taking a few HR to dump the game considering size mabe about 256MB, and compressing and uploading it i would consider it would take quite some time.

It can be a fake rom, just renamed.

if it would have been a rom, it was kinda obvious it didnt end in FF's since size was as if it would have been a trimmed rom. but yeah, its not a rom

Replying to #93

it wasnt even a renamed rom, it didnt run on desmume or r4cee

Replying to #94

Some guy at GameFAQs has itA friend also claims he saw it at Target today, but even if he was right, I don't have access to a car or the money to buy it.

Go to GameStop, they don't have Professor Layton, I TOOK THE SUBWAY FOR THIS. It was streetdated! You should have it! ;_;It does appear that some gamestops were not shipped to. Not surprising then that GS would change the release date on their website.

So this is arguably currently the most-anticipated DS game launch, #1 bestseller at Amazon.com for DS games, and it's been on stores for half a day, but still no sign of a ROM - I'm new to the scene, but had imagined that things would go a lot faster than this...Evidence is mounting that the game is already available in some stores at least, if not everywhere, so do we take this as evidence that there is massive AP that someone is feverishly working on getting around at the moment?

Like John said, it will be a big rom. That takes +/- 4 to 5 hours to dump AND to upload it can take some time too. Maybe it will be a 512 MB rom

It would be hard to say without really having a handle on how many stores are affected by this issue, and moreso without knowing if it is a particular chain that is affected, or instead an entire region.I tweeted at GS for confirmation about some stores not having it, but I have yet to get a response, and may not get one at all.So basically... who knows?
