So a bit of background - despite being born in 2002 and so being around at the height of the DS's success, I never actually owned one myself; my first console was a 3ds, which I bought only a few years ago. Because of that, I didn't play any of the Layton games until much more recently. Despite that, I really enjoyed playing them and thought they (or rather, Curious Village) would be the perfect candidate for a development history!
