I know its a launch game for Japan but what about NA? The only reason I think it might not be at launch is because it might not be translated in time. But I don't know.Is Professor Layton and the Mask of the Miracle for the Nintendo 3DS a launch game?
No, it won't be a 3DS launch title in the US
While Mask of Miracle (working title) is a 3DS launch title in Japan, this is mainly because the game was due for release in Japan anyway (if it had been a DS title it would've been released in Japan last November)
In contrast, this is the second game in a prequel trilogy and the first game has not yet been released in the US (based on the last two games, the US release of the prequel trilogy's first game is likely to be announced at E3 and released around September)
Naturally, the prequel trilogy will be released in story order in the US and this 3DS game will therefore not be a launch title and is not in the current list of launch titles already announced by Nintendo
Additionally, this game is not mentioned on the official Professor Layton (English) site, Nintendo's site (besides a few screenshots from the 2010 E3 3DS presentation) or even Amazon US (at least one of which would have listed it by now if it was a launch title)
Further, Level 5 have not yet trademarked the name (which will most likely not be Mask of Miracle), something they would've certainly done by now if this was a launch title
