#Professor Layton and the Wandering Castle

[bassboosted-moon-chao]

"Professor, look out!"

At that moment, the knight's sword plunged into the Professor's left arm.

Textless version, paragraph and ramble underneath!

So! Wandering Castle, what a fucking novel. I first read a relatively okay (somewhat rough) fan translation of it a year ago, and it had me FLOORED. Layton gets stabbed a few times in this one, there's fights over uranium and Scottish(?) (Northland-ish) folklore, and many, many shitty people I think Tumblr would love.

The scene of the silver knight impaling Layton in the arm, only for him to get back on his feet and keep fighting despite, is one that gripped me by the throat. He also... spends the rest of the novel with a gaping bloody sword wound in his arm just. casually. because why even bother when you're too busy dealing with some sick little bastard putting you through these shitty trials. Luke threatens to kill everyone via. murder-suicide electrocution in one beat and I was absolutely stunned. Wild fucking novel. It goes from 1 to 100 very very quickly. It's like if you took the batshittery of the original trilogy, and amped it up in intensity because now they're allowed blood, serious injury and mild bad language. Seriously recommend finding translations if you can.

@layclaireweek day 7: beginning | end

my headcanon ever since I read Professor Layton and the Wandering Castle has been that Jeremy Campbell introduced them. it just makes sense! he's a scientist, who went to Gressenheller, and fenced with Hershel. it all lines up imo

[professoraurabolt]

Professor Layton and the Wandering Castle is definitely a Layton novel I've read.

[toy-pigeon]

so todays @layton-npc-appreciation-week prompt is “obscure” and im hoping the light novels are obscure enough

this is something of a character design sheet for jeremy campbell from professor layton and the wandering castle, which i have elected to rename “professor layton and that time they all got radiation poisoning”

[smile-files]

it's sad how insecure luke can be, how he is here. he thinks he's wasting the professor's time or desperately vying for his attention or something, just because what he saw with his own eyes is so unbelievable it's as if he's lying by describing it... he fears the professor won't take him along on the investigation, even though he'd taken him along on countless ones before... aaaugh :(

[bitchfendi]

“a wandering castle? does the professah really expect me to believe this shit-”

*the castle shows up*

[alto-tenure]

me looking at all the level-5 official material ostensibly set between DB and UF: but where is Flora? what is she doing during this? what excuse do you have for why she isn't here? do you know how you could make this better? with Flora’s presence.

I'm reading the fan translation of Professor layton and the wandering castle rn, which is written from Lukes perspective and oh my lord.

The games show Luke as cheeky, but still rather polite BUT ON THE INSIDE

Y'ALL

LUKE IS SO RUDE

[call-me-rucy]

so you’re like one of the leading layton translators around here afaik, have those japan only layton novels ever been translated?

Hi!

They have, yes! I have not participated in these, and haven't checked them out either, so I'll just leave here the links that have been going around and tell you to thank those hardworking translators if you read them ^^

Here's Illusory Forest

Here's Phantom Deity and Wandering Castle

Hope that helps! <3

[the-river-of-light]

I decided to redesign my vision for Jeremy Campbell for day six of @layton-npc-appreciation-week...this time actually looking at the novel because wow could I not remember any of his descriptions from there the first time I attempted it.

[bearofohu]

the wandering castle

Luke's Narration at the Start: As the Professor and I ran up the hill, the sun was blaring in the morning sky as we gazed awestruck at what lay before us. I stared in absolute amazement and knew this was going to be a great mystery.

Luke's Narration After Awhile: fuck, fuck fuck fuck fucki ng fuck fukity fuck, god fucking dammit, holy shit what the fcuk

[prohow]

Hi Everyone.

Here is my English Translation of the Japanese exclusive novel Professor Layton and the Wandering Castle.

With this, all 3 Layton books are now available for English speaking fans.

Credit for the novel goes to Level 5 and Akihino Hino.

Credit for providing the scans of the Japanese Novels goes to shinjinotikari17 and TheL5Project on Tumblr.

I hope everyone enjoys the book and fingers crossed for some new Layton media sometime in the near future.

2020 Backlog Progress in Retrospect

2020 was the year of finally finishing the backlog. The final game ended up being Disco Elysium back on July 1st but in the months since I’ve built up a list again. Going forward I’m hoping to keep the backlog at 10 games or less since I’ve found I do like having a wider list of games to choose from after finishing something. After finishing over 100 games in 2020 there were a ton of classics that I finished for the first time, so many so that making a top 20 list was very difficult. I’ve always made this end of year breakdowns for my own archives but I thought it would be fun to share it this year alongside the full list of what I finished!

Top 20 of 2020 First Time Finished

1 Sakura Wars (Sega Saturn) 2 Skies of Arcadia (Dreamcast) 3 Dragon Quest XI S (Switch) 4 Shiren the Wanderer: The Tower of Fortune & the Dice of Fate (Switch) 5 Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss (PC) 6 Red Dead Redemption 2 (PC) 7 Mega Man Legends 2 (PS1) 8 Shining Force II (Genesis) 9 Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U) 10 Super Mario Odyssey (Switch) 11 Sea of Thieves (PC) 12 Phantasy Star IV (Genesis) 13 Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair (Switch) 14 Shenmue (Dreamcast) 15 Last Window: The Secret of Cape West (DS) 16 killer7 (PC) 17 Moon: Remix RPG Adventure (Switch) 18 Maniac Mansion (PC) 19 ZeroRanger (PC) 20 VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action (PC)

Favorite game of 2020: Sakura Wars

When I was looking back at this year, the game that stuck the most with me was easily the original Sakura Wars for the Sega Saturn. Back in December of 2019 the english patch released online and I was so excited to finally be able to play the first entry in one of Sega’s biggest franchises for the first time. I had yet to play any games in the series beyond just fumbling around an import copy of various games on Saturn and Dreamcast and I was glad to be able to experience it with such a well-made fan patch. It’s a very simple strategy game mixed in with lite RPG and Dating mechanics but there’s such a great charm to how well everything mixes together. The way they mix in the animated cutscenes throughout each chapter make it feel like you’re playing a classic mid 90′s anime and it was just a nice cozy experience the whole way. I managed to play through it twice this year and tinkered around with later entrees in the series but I’m hopeful that the sequel will get picked up as a fan translation project soon, otherwise I’ll probably be going through those games the old fashioned way with a printed out GameFAQS guide at my side.
