I'm a big fan of Layton this is good news:
(from eurogamer)
Developer Level-5 is busy localising the second Professor Layton DS adventure for North America and Europe, and boss Akihiro Hino hopes to release within six months.
He also told a GDC audience he wants every other Professor Layton game to head West, according to MTV Multiplayer).
That will include all three Japan-released instalments - The Curious Village, The Diabolical Box, The Final Time Journey - plus the upcoming fourth game, The Devil's Flute.
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (aka the Devil's Box, Pandora's Box, the Demon's Box - we're checking the official title) rejoins the titular professor and young apprentice Luke as they journey to see Layton's mentor about a mysterious box.
Japan has been playing this second instalment since November 2007, and the game has proven to be every bit as special as the Curious Village.

In fact, it seems that the second game in the series, now titled Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box, is being localized as we speak. Hino said that he hopes it will be out in six months, with the remaining games in the series to follow every six months after that.
Both Diabolical Box and the first trilogy finale, The Last Time Travel, have seen release in Japan. On March 11, a new entry titled The Devil's Flute was announced, which appears to kick off an entirely new trilogy. With Professor Layton media steadily expanding and a feature film in the works, it's perhaps not so surprising that the remaining Layton games would eventually make it over to the west.
