Hold it?

I remember, back during its Japanese debut - wow, in 2012 - that Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright didn't go over so well. I saw some blurbs about it failing to live up to the legacies of both Layton (whatever) and Wright (well, shit) -- pretty much as expected.

Fast forward to this week, with the game's North American release somehow imminent, and the game is rolling in positive reviews. This number of "greens" is nothing to sneeze at. Not that, necessarily, I had been planning to sneeze at it. But this reception has affected my curiosity about the game, sneezing or otherwise.
