Level-5 has already started work on a sixth Professor Layton game, CEO Akihiro Hino has revealed.
But his tweet, translated by andriasang (http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/04/05/layton_curious_village_million/), didn't mention a platform.
Four Professor Layton games have been released on DS: Curious Village, Pandora's box, Lost Future and Specter's Flute.
But the most recent Professor Layton game, Mask of Miracle, was a Japanese 3DS launch title.
Will Level-5 opt to stick with the new Nintendo technology?
Earlier this year, Level-5 announced that the four DS Professor Layton games had shipped 11 million copies worldwide between them (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-17-professor-layton-ships-over-11-million). Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask has sold nearly 250,000 copies in Japan to date, according to Media Create figures.
Professor Layton and the Lost Future - the most recent European release - triumphed on Eurogamer, earning a gargantuan 9/10 from reviewer John Teti (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-10-21-professor-layton-and-the-lost-future-review).
