Level-5 announces the remake of Professor Layton and the Curious Village for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, set for a 2027 release.
The highlight in the Nintendo sphere today is undoubtedly the announcement of a remake for Professor Layton and the Curious Village. Originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS, Level-5 has revealed that the beloved puzzle-adventure game will be reimagined for the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and other platforms, with a release date set for 2027. The original game was a massive hit on the DS, and this move marks yet another entry in the growing trend of revisiting and updating classic titles for modern platforms. The announcement was covered by My Nintendo News.
Game Announcements and Releases
In addition to the Professor Layton remake, several other games are on the horizon for Nintendo fans. Nintendo Everything reports that Under Mythos, a new dark fantasy RPG from Kadath—founded by Yoichi Miyaji, known for the Lunar RPG series—is set for release on the Nintendo Switch in 2028. Developers have described the game as set in a world “on the brink of madness,” a high-concept angle likely to intrigue RPG enthusiasts.
On the nearer horizon, Aeterna Lucis, the follow-up to Aeterna Noctis, will be launching for consoles on December 3rd, as reported by Nintendo Everything. Initially delayed due to the release of Hollow Knight: Silksong, this sequel brings a new chapter for players to explore on the Nintendo Switch.
Sales and Promotions
Nintendo of America has announced a major promotional event, titled the Customer Appreciation Sale. According to My Nintendo News, this sale promises a 30% discount on various Nintendo Switch games, bundles, and other products. This represents one of Nintendo’s largest sales to date and is sure to be of interest to anyone looking to expand their Nintendo library this fall.
Platform Updates
For those following developments on the Nintendo Switch 2, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Definitive Edition will be sold as a game-key card for the system, confirmed by Nintendo Everything. This format decision mirrors the strategy already revealed in Japan and marks another step in the evolving sales strategy for Nintendo’s next-gen platform.
This week’s Nintendo Download was also released, adding new titles across both the current Switch and the new Switch 2 platforms. Highlights include Valheim, now optimized for the Joy-Con 2 motion controls. Details can be found via Nintendo Life.
