Professor Layton and the Last Specter’s Latest Trailer shows us a mysterious Giant…

With just a month away from release, Nintendo have now released a Professor Layton and the Last Specter that better details the perils that Layton & Company will have to outwit in their first ever adventure. In the clip, a large and mysterious giant known as the “Specter” is seen attacking a town and demolishing buildings one by one.

As usual, Layton has to find the logic behind these happenings and can be seen questioning several villagers to learn more. Curiousity isn’t always a good thing though, as by the end of the clip we see the top-hatted fellow right landing himself right into the path of the dark beast itself.

Love Plus 3DS releasing December 8th, new trailer released

During Nintendo’s 3DS Conference 2011 they announced a bit of information for Love Plus 3DS. The game will be released in Japan on December 8th and it will cost those looking to buy the title Â¥6,980.

Konami quickly released the video online for everyone to see, and you can catch it below.

Though the title is coming out during the holidays in Japan, I have serious doubts this title will see the light of day in the West despite a portion of gamers wishing it would.
